Default Reflashing the PCM

I had a snap/on snanner hooked up to check out my air ride control system because the light comes on and off it also does the same thing for the air bag, the front end seems to be lower all the fueses and motors are working fine but its telling us that its in the PCM?.. Can u help with some ideas to cure the problem with out taking it to the dealer to be reflashed for around $300??

PCM has little to do with suspension system.Need year,model and codes if present or what is going on to advise you. The more info you provide the more likely you will get a responce.Refer to how to get help thread.

Thank you I will try the help thread.In the mean time I have a 1996 Deville and some one told me that the problem might be that when I changed the battery last year I lost power to everything and that might be why it needs to be taken to the dealer to be reflashed, Could this be true?

Changing battery will set codes,but should not cause any light or performace issue, provided key was not in the ignition. But what is wrong with car?

I do think that the key was in the ignition when the battery was replaced.some of the codes were
0.0 strg fbk rs do6
0.0 strg dem rs do5
HI LD Disc rs I01
LO NO Disc 000
HL Cyc All rs 008
LO Elc Exh rs 007
HI ' ' ' 007
Im not sure what they mean or even if their the right codes but thay all came out of the RSS and didn't match up with any of the on board Diagnostic code book for my 1996 Cadillac/Deville
It seems to me the front end is lower than the back and will not lift up
Every time I start the car the dash says ( service the air ride control system)
So far you guys have been great and I appreciate
the advice u give
