Exclamation Air Suspension Fault


This morning on the drive to work I get the "AirSuspension Fault" message display pop up with the amber light just above it 'on' also. Everything was fine for the first 25 miles or so and just happened to see it during the frequent scan of the gauges during the drive. This came on on the last 2 miles of the journey. After the caution came on, the car appeared to drive and handlenormal. The outside temp was reading 20F and dry. Do I need to be concerned and preppedfor a quick emptying of the wallet, or have to sell my first born? Anythoughts..?

Ive had similar issues up here in NYC where the temp has been frigid this last week! As low as 15 below 0! I wake up and almost every morning the car is sitting low in the front. I think my passenger side air shock has as small leak and when it releases the air in the frigid cold in the overnight hours, the drivers side follows as a safety measure. Once i warm up the car it goes back to normal. If its really cold, i get the air suspension fault and have to warm up the car even more then turn it on and off and the pump gets everything back up to normal. I am aware that the cold weather affects the suspension in that if there was a small leak before, it is now exacerbated by the cold weather and its affect on rubber. Others will chime in and if you do a search there is a wealth of information on the subject.
