I assume you pushed the Reset button to turn them off? Did they go off/stay off? I always thought that "remove battery cable" thing was a bad idea. Your dealer won't "hose" you to reset those "Malfunctions." They might even do it for free!

Airmatic is complex, and complete failure can result in expensive damage. Best advice I can offer is have your dealer check it out.

Did you disconnect the main battery in the trunk? or did you disconnect the Aux power under the hood?

There is no grave danger from disconnecting the battery otherwise we'd all be screwed if a battery failed and they all do sooner than later. But the Aux power unit is a different story.

Either way, Just a simple Clearing of all faults makes it all go away.they might not even charge you as it only takes a second.

BTW> PLEEEZE tell me you had the ignition off when you unplugged the battery and plugged it back in right?

Yes I dissconnected from the trunk and yes my ignition was off, I just dont understand why all the messages came on after I did that, im starting to think something is wrong with my computer if reacts to power outage like that

It is normal to see ESP/ABS message after disconnecting and connecting the cable, to reset it just turn the steering wheel lock to lock.

What do you mean by lock to lock?

Start engine turn the steering wheel all the way to left and then all the way to the right, turn ignition off and start again.
