Exclamation Accuair elevel reinstall problem

Hi Guys,
I previously had a 2013 Hyundai Genesis Coupe equipped with TWR struts and Accuair elevel management purchased directly from Accuair. I had no issues with the install and everything worked flawlessly. The motor blew on the Genesis so I parted it out and bought a 2011 Nissan 370z. I ordered new Airlift struts and paired it to my existing elevel management/tank/compressor etc etc, the whole kit. The install was fine, the bags are able to air up and down no issues. No signs of sensors not being able to read or anything. The travel on the sensors are correct and so forth. The problems start when I tried to re-calibrate the system to the current vehicle. After a few minutes of the auto calibration, it will show that one or more valves are not responding. So since this has happened, we've tried to move the sensors around some more to see if it would help. If I turn the car on WITHOUT the recalibration it works fine, no error codes or anything. HOWEVER, the system now does not save any new preset heights, and does not save features such as auto ride height on start. Features such as air pressure modes in the tank will save. When I manually set the height and hold the preset buttons, 1 2 or 3 it will flash and go solid, at this point with a functional system, it should save and that should be it, but in my case, it will flash, go solid and adjust itself to the old position. I've contacted Accuair for help and they've sent me some information on the sensors. I've contacted the accuair rep that I purchased the kit from and he said it's a possible ECU issue which could happen when reinstalling on a vehicle and that I should send my ECU/VU4 back to Accuair for a diagnosis and repair under their lifetime warranty. I was hoping that you guys could shed some light on my situation and possibly have a fix for me without going through the trouble of taking out the ECU and sending it back to them. As you all know, without the ECU the car becomes undriveable and of course this is an inconvenience.

Note: I've tried the auto calibration as well as the manual calibration. I end up with the same errors. The valve not responding code only appears if the system tries to readjust itself if the compressors have to kit in for an extended amount of time. When the tank has adequate air, the code does not show. It will just adjust itself to it's old height. I'm able to air up and down manually and just eye ball the ride height to get around town.

Thanks in advance.
