Airmatic Sensor
I made a thread awhile back about my lean and one of the things that came up was I may have a damaged sensor. The car is getting serviced atm but I'm picking it up tomorrow and before I take it anywhere else I wanted to know if there is anyway I can check for sensor damage myself, or if It needs to be taken in and looked at.
Thanks
Thanks

The lean is very pronounced on the rear driver side, and the front driver side has a slight lean as well.
Airmatic still works just fine raising and lowering, the car does not get lower overnight and then raise to normal when i start the car.
So the only thing I can assume is it's either a damaged sensor because the airmatic also seems to readjust itself for no reason while I'm driving or it just needs to be re-calibrated.

Rear Airmatic suspension
Ok, I drove my 2003 E320 w211 benz just fine from Tampa to Orlando. Not so fast about 80-90. Now coming back rite before my exit off the highway visit workshop lite came on. So I just got off and a mile down parked front of my garage. Noticed my rear end was low.Very low ,tiers up in wheel well.So, I turned on the car and pressed to raise vehicle. Now it started raising front and the back.All was fine. So, I turned off the raise car button and pressed the sports mode(1 led),The front started to drop but the back now got stuck.Put in lower sports mode (2 Led's) and the front dropped but rear up in the air and stuck.
I did try disconnecting the battery and reconnecting it ,but no luck.
Well one good thing is I know I dont have a leak since it been up in the air for 2 days now. Im riding my bike to work. Read here that the rear end leveling sensor is bad? Did try to locate it by rear differential,but couldnt see it.If someone can HELP me please.

Needs to be checked on STAR. Check for any faults, but most importatantly it can be tested / calibrated in the STAR, ADAPTATIONS menu.
