Default Air Suspension disables in Freezing Temps

There has been below freezing temperatures here in NYC and I noticed that the air suspension is disabled when left out in the cold.

The fist time I noticed this was when the temperature was 15 degrees and while driving the ride was very bouncy. I noticed I didn't hear the air compressor coming on. I tried raising the suspension from "N" to Hi or Lo but nothing happened when I pressed the button, not even the light, it just remained on "N".

I parked inside the garage and after about 20 minutes I heard the air compressor running and felt the car leveling itself. I was also able to adjust the by using the height control switch.

I have come to the conclusion that the cold weather is causing the air suspension to be disabled.

Has anyone experienced ?

I'm thinking the suspension should work at these temperatures. Am I missing something?

Is there any DIY for removing moisture from air suspension?

Probably water getting inside the height sensor and freezing.
