Malfunction

Hi every body
I have S550 2007 get message of malfunction of car raising. I did replace the airmatic pump compressor and filter but still the message come on from time to time. When I turned off the care the message goes off. The car can be raised when I push the raising button, any one has an idea what is going on.

Check for an air leak on one or more struts. Were those replaced when you did the pump? Eventually an air leak will cause the pump to burn out, so track it down quickly to save that new one.

My 220 kept throwing that message and clearing itself. The shop diagnosed a slow leak in a front strut however my warranty company at the time denied the work because the shop couldn't demonstrate the leak. A few weeks later the suspension collapsed and they spent a pile of money on a new pump.
