2005 S500, Airmatic issues

Hi there all, dealing with a 2005 S500, Sedan, W220. Have a message, Ride Height too low, do not drive, and Airmatic problem, go to workshop.

Do I get this scanned to start? front seems quite normal, rear is lower, but driveable.

I need to approach this in a methodical way, as I have repaired my Diesel pickup with knowledge from forums and Google successfully, knowledge is key in all repairs, thanks all!

One thing to try - look at the rear suspension for a small jointed arm running from the center section of the anti-sway bar to a sensor mounted to the chassis, and make sure that it is all in good shape. That is the rear ride height sensor, and if it breaks or gets disconnected, strange things happen.
