White up arrow Airmatic after changing airbags
2004 E55. Over the last month I had to change a leaking new rear airbag and replaced, replacement fixed the problem. Car rides great does not drop down overnight. All four wheels at similar height from wheel arch to centre of wheel . Automatic system works when opening drivers door.
Have recently changed the compressor (Arnott) and reverted to trusty MB valve block. Found a small leak in an area line do to line brittle. All good. Wheels are all equal distance from centre hub to wheel arch.
So again though I have the white raise car light on the dash board🙃.
I have a Foxwell 510 Elite scanner. When it comes to Airmatic it's almost there. But I suspect I am not seeing something. Yes I know throw away and get a SDS. I don't think it is adequate to do a calibration as I have tried and it just gets scary. I have experienced the white light before. First time when I changed out the rear airbags and the Airmatic system lock was on. Turned off and the raise car light went away. Also when the pump had a bad connection and the system slowly lost its air pressure. But this time I cannot seem to do anything to get rid of the raise the car light. No codes. When you press the raise the car button it goes up. Light still stays on. When you have the scanner plugged in the light is not there. When you unplug and restart its there. When you press the odometer button it goes off until a restart. The light was not on until I changed out the air bag and other components in the last week.
Other than the raise car light all seems good? Been driving for a week and all else is fine. No codes in the airmatic module. I could disconnect the battery and try that but that has not affected any change in the white arrow up previously.

Did it accept the calibration?
Any error messages on the Airmatic system?
Not too long ago I was presented with the white arrow myself. I scanned it with my Autel and showed me an error on 1 of the acceleration sensors (they are right in front of the front struts). I replaced both of them and issue solved.
