Well when i replaced the module i had to have it coded at the dealer it would not activate by it self. So you will have to do the same its, something that needs coding. But i found out the dealer is a piece of sh it, They do what i can do at home, tell you to replace the most commonly defective parts, and keep replacing crap till its fixed! Thats BS.

UPDATE:

After i replaced the module nothing happened the shit was still down, Actually they pulled the car out of the shop it was working, and as i drove two miles down the road it deactivated again! So i figured i will replace the front shocks, cause thats what the dealer said i need to do but i did not believe them. I replaced the one that was most worn, ran the car in park for 30 minutes then drove it for 10 minutes it would not activate, then while i was driving i decided i will move my steering wheel hard from left to right to make the car rock and swing, and this MADE THE SUSPESION activate! aparently cause it wade it work and try to level the car. But after a while it deactivated again. Actualy when it activated it was still very very stiff so it was not working correctly any way. So i replaced the second one, and it is still NOT activating. very very pissed off and disapointed at this time.

The replacement of the shocks was a piece of cake, just unscrewed the hose a little to let the air out and thats it!

I am suspecting that one of my level sensors is bad. By the way i could NOT unplug the son of a B for nothing, the rear sensor plugs are so stuck its not funny!

So what you people think?

I think you confirmed that the component that was under water was the Air Suspension Control Module (EHC). As my "SelfLeveling Susp. Inactive" message has yet to go out after 3 days of driving, I am pretty sure something is damaged.

Can the GT1 or proper code reader from a dealer or indie pinpoint what component might be bad, or is this a trial and error thing? Also, if I was to replace this module (EHC) am I understanding correctly it is not "Plug and play" and I will need to take it to a pro to get it reset?

I have a '01 4.4i with only rear air susp. and both seem to be functioning and inflated, despite the warning message.
