the airmatic and ABS or 2 different problems. abs could be a bad brake switch or wrong tire sizes. also try turning the steering wheel all the way left and hold it for a few seconds and also do the same the other direction and hold it. this will learn the steering angle sensor for the ESP control

My take on this problem is WHY the "battery" voltage warning has displayed?

Strikes me the garage MAY have forgotten to tighten the battery terminal after removing it or alternatively the charging system is not working correctly.

Systems like ABS are voltage sensitive but ALSO ride height sensitive. If the ride height is incorrect this MAY be as a result of low voltage load shedding disabling the Airmatic.

Looks like the garage didn't do the job correctly but it could be chance.
