My GT Time Attack car to be...The whole story.

Hi all.
So this is my 2004 Gt bought on Wednesday.
20 hour drive with car trailer there and back.
So the car.
Bought cheep with no apparent warning lights but the suspension failed when he let the battery die and used a booster to start the car.
I hooked up my VAS pc diagnostics expecting to see the usual faults caused by low voltage and started to clear out the codes.
First issue. ECU 2 isn't showing as connected to the car, it isn't even in the list off attached or checked modules. So I can't clear or check old codes.
Any Ideas Anyone?
The air suspension. The car drives and is sitting on the emergency air reserve contained in each suspension bag. It drives and I got it onto the trailer
But no chance of ever getting a jack underneath.
The garage said all was well until he boosted the new 2022 flat battery.
Any One With Any Ideas.
Outside pics to follow.

Thanks for the advice I was hoping I could do just that. However, it won't reset as the level sensors are all showing faults as they are below an expected amount.
I read on here about jacking the car up to fool the hight sensors. ??
I by passed the compressor relay and that works.

Update.
Some how ECU2 has now started comunicating. So I have a better idea of the fault codes.
Will properly read out and post them all on here as soon as I can.
Times like these you wonder what was going on in my head to buy a cheep Gt....you just know its going to go well.lol
