Airmatic visit workshop C1322 - Right front solenoid

(Please excuse my english,i'm from Transilvani -Dracula's land )
Hello,i have a problem on my car (MB S500 4Matic W220 facelit)i have a malfunction on the dash "Airmatic visit workshop" and on the tester appear: C1322 - Right front solenoid valve 1
- Permanent

First of all what this error means,because i couldn't see anything wrong with the car,the car lower itself when ii stop the engine,but never to low,only to aline itself,even if i park the car for 3-4 days the car never lower it self more than it should be.When i start the engine the car lift itself as normal.So i'm sure the struts doesn't have any leak.

And secound what can i do to fix this problem myself,i search for exact this problem C1322 and i couldn't find any solution how to fix it.

This is my first MB and i have it for 1 mounth.
Please help a friend in need

Update: after 3 days of not starting the car,i just realize that the front left side of the car is very easy to push it down and up,it easy to balance the car but the front right side is very stift,i cannot push the car down,and the front right side is higher than the left side with 0.5 inch.

As you found C1322 indicates that the valve inside the strut (damper) is reporting a problem.

First, carefully check the electrical connector from the strut that plugs into the body in front of the strut. It is not unusual for that connector to be inserted wrong.

If there is no problem with the wiring or connectors, you may have to replace the strut, as the valve is not available separately.
