Not sure but I recall reading that once you have worked on these suspension systems they need to be reset to allow them to then work properly. New sensor fitted may need resetting into the cars ECU or reprogrammed into the canbus system. Not suite sure what is involved exactly but will need hooked back up to diagnostic gear for a reset.

Unless of course it is something else that is wrong, probably best to get the diagnostic codes read first. Could simply be an air leak somewhere....
