Strange Issue with Airmatic
So my dad got his S500 back after getting the control arms changed and now the cluster i displaying "ABC error visit workshop" or something to that effect.

The thing is, the car doesnt have ABC, its definitely a airmatic system, I have confirmed by checking the front strut tower and seeing air hoses. Did someone mess with the computer or accidentally code it so the car thinks it has ABC?

Really strange issue. The suspension isnt sagging or anything

This is usually because the electrical plugs on the struts were pulled out , and not reinserted fully
