Default Rear air suspension issue

2003 Disco HSE7

So immediately everyone will think replace the air bags...
the rear end says when the car is turned off. When I start the car and shut the door the air compressor turns on and returns to regular height. The indicator lamp is on always in the dash for the side suspension.
The compressor will shut off and remain off and car will remain at correct height.
As soon as it is turned off, the air seems to on purpose be let out and the car again says. It seems to be letting out the air at the cylinder in between the compressor and the rear wheel. Doesn't seem to leak.
Do I have a height sensor issue. Any guidance would be helpful as I'm new to the air suspension on these.

well air leaks tend to make bubbles if you apply soapy water, so I would think you need to slowly soap your air lines and bags to see if they bubble, unless of course you can hear the leak

Sounds like a height calibration issue maybe..

More like a defective valve in the suspension valve block, I have not looked at the block diagram but it sounds like when the condition is switched the valve is not functioning correctly.

Default Same issue

Did you figure out the issue, I have the same issue, I’ve replaced compressor, rear valve block , center distribution block and cleaned the front valve block. The Compressor comes on every start then shuts off after 30 seconds or so and suspension fault light and lock at standard height
