I just changed the rear shock absorber, and the car stayed low. I have tried to operate the height control button but the car is not coming up. Eventually the height control indicator light has just been put off. ABS indicator light is on. Please how do I get the car to be up?

a mechanic has to scan for codes to see what is wrong with it unless there is an air leak at the shock absorber which could be a line etc. but it could be the pump not sending air to that shock so it has to be scanned

then the module needs to respond, so it is either bad, a bad connection, or broken wires. i am sure he knows what is wrong and will tell you. he will have to program it to your car anyhow.

Thank you so much, the information has been very helpful. The man handling my car seems not to be very experienced. Please do you need to loosen down the dash board before you can have access to the height control module?

Sorry, we do not have instructions for that. it is more of start removing panels on bottom of dash and get it out on your own.
