My money would be on a wiring fault
Check the body to chassis loom plugs at the rear of the NS front wheel, remove the wheel, remove the plastic inner wheel arch liner, and you'll find them

(mine is a HSE with rear air on, hence the 2 x foam covered pipes, yours may not have these which will help access)
Here you can see where I temporarily soldered a broken wire, just to the right of the lower disconnected plug, to test if the faults had cleared, once I was happy all was well, I then repaired properly with a heat shrink over sleeve

Have you got 4x4 info display, does it show the same symptoms, if not could a height sensor, or maybe the front or centre air valve.
But I've had three faults on mine related to the suspension, with a whole host of fault codes showing, and strange symptoms, and each time it ended up being a wiring issue, they are not always easy to find though
What did you use to read the fault codes, Have you got the rest ? you only posted the first part, there should be two more digits, i.e. C1A03?? etc this would help narrow it down a bit furtherNever get mad - get even !!
