In the morning there was very minimal air in shocks. When I released the ptc valve very little air came out. Sure there is another way but this worked for me. Just make sure shocks feel deflated.
The correct way to release the air is to use a scan tool, something like an Autel that can access all the modules. Once you hook up the scan tool and you have selected your vehicle you go to special functions and activate the button labeled "exhaust solenoid". Nothing to it.
