Airmatic faults

Been about 2wks since I lowered the car on kw lowering kit. Got a alighment and all. Popped a suspension warning today after some spirited highway driving. Valve block leaked/failed? Or should I clear these codes and see what comes back. I will check the front right strut as well to make sure the dampening sensor behind the hub is still plugged in. Car has 34k on it so it's all original, but 10yrs old. Getting ready to do a 10hr trip to tail of dragon next week so this isn't something I wanna deal with while away from home.

Also to add, car does not droop or sag when sitting for a extended period of time. Prior to this error, car sat for 3 days, same wheel gap on both sides.

-could- be that something is unplugged and/or a wire got crimped in something. Would cause a code but not a leak....

Can you use icarsoft to scan all modules ... valveblock or bad compressor, less likely headlight sensor

clear codes and cycle through the modes

several threads in the sticky - this may help in particular

Unfortunately all I have access to is the autu at the moment. Checked the front sensors and both are plugged in as well. Came home from work and car is sitting fine after a 8hr shift. It's not my daily driver so it was in the garage since 7pm last night sitting.
​​​​​Cycled through the suspension modes and car raises and lowers it self fine without any errors

I got the same issue, intermittent airmatic , same codes, but as soon as I restart it goes away, it's prob. a small leak, the yellow tube by the tank (trunk left side) i'm suspecting of getting old and rigid. I see most errors winter time. I'm not doing anything about it until something actually fails.

I don't even drive this car in rain, snow or any other weather other than sunny days. I ordered a new block to have as spare. Will go over everything again and hope for the best on my way to north Carolina
