Level Control System Malfunction

I got this system alert as I was driving on Saturday. The rear is bottomed out (can barely fit 1 finger between the rear tire and the fender) and the car is bouncy as f*ck. Has anyone had this malfunction and what was the fix for it? I'm a bit worried because my car is lowered so I don't want to take it to the dealer just yet. I recently had my shop adjust the rear linkages a little lower.
Going to try and have the raise the car a bit and see if that take the check message away. If not, should I put back my OEM suspension and take it to the dealer?

adjust the link higher and see if it clears the malfunction, if not then you should change the oem back and bring it to the dealer.

Hi,
I have exactly same issue, what was the fix? mine dropped all at once, I heard sound of leaking air, thought it was tire, and it dropped on both sides, checked fuses, when I start the car I can hear pump working, could both air bags go bad at once?

Sounds like you could have blown an air bag!

Mine was low and the pump would turn on after I turned the car off. Found out that the air bag blew a hole and didn't inflate. Very easy fix. Took me 45 minutes to swap.
