I've got the same 'SLS inactive' message issue, but no leaking/sagging air springs.
I've suspected low battery voltage may be the culprit as it's pretty sluggish at times if not in daily use.....but maybe I should be getting the alternator tested before replacing the battery?
Just to follow up on this open question - my alternator died not long after posting the above.
Battery was deemed good and the new alternator seems to have solved all the SLS issues.
Cheers.
