My car had the same problem and what the last owner finally did was disassembly the system and installed "normal" shocks.

Pull the codes. You can find out how to pull the Ride Control codes via the DIC in the Factory Service Manual or by using the directions in one of the dozens of threads a search will turn up.

In all likelihood it's one of the shock actuators.

Default ride control problem

I ordered new shocks this am to replace the ones on it and disconnect the ride control system. Thanks to all of you. Will probably have more Q'S later on.
