Air suspension warning with new battery

A cautionary tale...

I had the front of the car on jack stands, having first raised the car to the highest level and then disabled leveling. I had a new battery and a new 10mm XZN socket. I stupidly thought I would take a break from the annoying coolant expansion tank job and put in the new battery.

Later, as I stopped work for the night, I noticed that the passenger side marker light, front running light, and taillight were all on. I eventually figured out that the turn signal switch had been pushed up that direction while I was working on the battery. I figured this out by turning the ignition on and noticing the turn signal indicator light was on.

Unfortunately, at this time the "air suspension faulty workshop" warning also came on. My guess is that the disabled air suspension setting was cleared when the battery was disconnected. I promptly got the car off the jack stands and back on all four wheels. My hope is that nothing broke as a result, during the approximately two hours the car was tilted with the front jacked up. The air suspension does go up all the way to special terrain and down to low (not to loading, though, probably disabled due to the warning condition) for me. But the warning persists.

Is there any kind of a reset procedure I can try as a first diagnostic step?

Note: The PSM warning light is also on, if that makes any difference.

Update: I drove the car today. It did not automatically re-enable regulation as I pulled out of the garage, so I held the switch forward for 10 seconds as I drove forward and the warning light shut off. It's the same warning light for "air suspension faulty workshop" and "regulation disabled" so I was feeling pretty good. The PSM light was still on, but by the time I drove out of the yard that also shut off. The car behaved properly on my commute.

So, if you make the mistake I did, there's a chance you will still be okay.
