Sport Normal Height Only Available amber error appearing on startup (Sport,V6,2012)

Went to start the car yesterday, and was greeted with the above error alert. It happens every time I start up the car. I can’t put the car into access mode or extended off road height. Whenever I exit the car and lockup, it won’t ‘fart’ or self level itself either. I would usually hear the compressor on startup as my drive is on an incline and the car would self level before moving off, but I can’t hear it anymore. The car doesn’t seem to sag either, it seems to be sitting fine.

Have been reading previous posts that it could be the compressor on the way out. I recently had it replaced in August. Have also read posts that it’s an issue with the battery, but the battery was replaced in July as well.

I’ll be contacting my mechanic later this week. Was just hoping to get some insight from people beforehand that have had a similar issue.

Thanks.

Just because the battery has been replaced does not mean that the voltage is good, lots of short runs and it may be nearly flat. With low battery volts there can be all sort of problems so my first step would be to check the battery voltage after it has stood overnight, should be 12.6 or above, then again with the engine running when you should see at least 14.5 volts.
I have no experience of the car so can offer no other suggestions apart from put it on diagnostics.
