"Visit workshop" after Arnott install?

What's up fam. I had Arnott's installed on the rear of my '05 e55 wagon a few days ago and it's giving me the "Visit workshop" warning. Is this just a regular thing with Arnotts? Seems like it doesn't throw the warning until I load up the suspension.

Tanks!

EDIT: also, holy cow – I've been lurking so hard since buying the car, just realized this is my first time posting. so hi! and here's a pick of the whip:

From what I've seen online - you have to get those errors coded out. I believe Tavarish mentioned it on one of his YouTube videos that a Mercedes dealer should be able to do it with Star. Interesting that it isn't always on..

BTW the booty shot is fantastic.

Yeah you'd think it'd be on all the time, but it waits to throw the "visit workshop" until I lean into the breaks, or a corner. Fingers crossed that's what it is.

I installed them on my wagon almost exactly two years ago and never got that message. Do you have access to a STAR computer to run the codes? Is the rear end sagging at all? Maybe take the electrical connectors out, clean them and reinstall.

Here is a DIY I posted about it after my install:

Your air compressor can be the culprit. If it takes too long to air up the air bag it may throw this warning. Mine went away when I replaced the compressor.

Arnott designed the rear spring with a different size piston in order not need the reservoir (making the install over 90% faster). Most (but not all for some reason) of the installs will require the Star diagnostic scanner to get rid of the codes since it is reading a different pressure now.

Wow I feel dumb now. I was thinking OP did a coilover swap. My mistake. Still weird that it isn't on all the time.

Thanks Doug – I'll scoot over to the local dealer soon as I get it re-aligned, hopefully that does the trick.
