Aromatic issue - If one corner is lower than others does that mean its a bad shock?
Got the dredred "car too low" message out of the blue. I tried to check the relay and pump and I think both are working w power.
Initially it seemed like all were equally low and through it may have been the pump, but i pulled it and connected to 12v and seemed to run.
Now the front passenger shock is notably lower than the rest. Is there any additional diagnosis i can do on my own before towing it to shop or ordering parts that may / may not be the issue?

With star you can run an airmatic test, the first thing the test runs is the pump to see if it gives off enough psi. When my pump went out it seemed to work but one side was lower, when I ran star it showed the pump not giving off enough psi.

Where can one see the procedure for running this test if they have STAR and are a DIYer?
