I'm very thankful for the ABC, this system makes people scare to buy these R230s so they depreciate like a rock, an average joe like me with average income can afford them

I get ABC messages which come and go. I have nill leaks or is there a place in the car where they accumulate without showing on the floor? Assuming nil leaks and it raises and lowers as it should, what could be triggering the fault messages? Cheers.

Could be low pressure. When was the last time the pump was changed?

Either low pump pressure, accumulators going out, or clogged valves. No way to know for sure without reading the fault codes with a special reader. Also do the warnings come on after going over a bump or otherwise long suspension travel?

You could try doing a DIY 'rodeo' by actuating the ABC height settings a dozen times or so. If there's a clog somewhere, that usually dislodges it.
