    articulation validity fault NSF suspension inactive

    That's what I meant in a round about way but your explanation is a bit better than mine.

    articulation validity fault NSF suspension inactive

    After battery disconnection when powered back up turn the steering wheel lock to lock with a slight pause at the full lock point and the air susp should reset , the lock to lock resets the steering angle sensor which has an input to the air suspension .
