S211 Airmatic Code 5508

My car (2006, S211 wagon, 211.256 with Airmatic) has run ca 68360 miles. It began to show a sign "visit workshop (car raise)" on dashboard, only since few days. The sign does not appear when start the car, it appear after few minutes of drive. I did measure the level of the car after few days stay in garage, all wheel fender to ground only have few millimeters difference. I checked with iCarsoft, it throw the p5508 code. some other related information I listed below.

I have checked fuse and relay for compressor, it's OK. I guess it might be the compresssor is not function well, but I am not sure if could be a problem with a sensor, or other reason. I would appreciate if someone could help.

Information from iCarsoft:
