I had success by:
1) Photographing the vehicle in my garage, parking it, letting it sit, and measuring the drop at time intervals, and recording those w/ photos and a tape measure.
2) Assembling this info (including the photos) into a document and handing it to the service people at the dealer...
You may be referring to the older "real leveling models" vs this four corner air suspension in the T1's. This design is different than the stuff that was on the previous models...
The previous version had the shock and the air bladder integrated.
This version has the "Air Spring" separate from...
Right, well, we do know it is in the rear.
We also know that the compressor and the reservoirs hold pressure (because the system can raise the vehicle on key on, without the aid of the compressor running).
So, at that point the possible leak points are, I think:
Air springs themselves
Fittings...
I believe I have narrowed the center seat rattle to being the spring that is in the track mechanism for sliding forward and backward. I gently popped up all the plastic trim to expose it...it has a soft rubber/plastic "hose" that covers it, and that thing slides around on it, back and forth...
Dealer just called, they said they noticed it drop a lot over the weekend. They ordered new rear shocks and are replacing them under the bumper to bumper warranty, parts will be there tomorrow, and should have it back to me Wednesday, or possibly late tomorrow.
Update: Dealer has had it all week, called Friday, said they do see it dropping a bit, it’s “right at spec.” The GM field rep is coming tomorrow for a different reason and they are going to show to him. They have a case open with the TAC, and shared all the photos and info I provided, as well...

Dealer is working w/ me on it, we are creating a plan where they will keep it, stored indoors (climate controlled), let it sit, and measure the sag in 24 hour increments for 72 hours.
They are providing a loaner (Sierra) Which is totally acceptable to me.
Probably will happen next week or week...
Well, the dealer had it today for diagnosis. Was returned as “operating at designed.”
The dealer returned a document from GM explaining the Air Suspension Operation. A pic of that document is attached. It says sag is normal to the tune of 2mm (0.08”) in 24 hours at constant temperature...
Pretty up to speed on most of the TSB's, there was one early in production for very cold climates...but my vehicle was built after the engineering change to resolve it. And, it is not a cold weather thing...has been plenty warm here...at least until today.
I have had my reverse automatic braking go off a couple times backing out of my driveway...it got my attention...
If you have the guts to do it, get on an interstate, set your adaptive cruise, and then exit behind someone else on the ramp and let your truck slow you to the stop behind the...
It did leak down afte 3 days this weekend, so I may ask them to just keep it a few days and watch it. They are providing a loaner, so we will see. I documented the issue w/ photos as well...dealers around here are pretty decent, will see.
An Update, this weekend wife and I were out of town in her vehicle, so mine sat from Thursday about 5pm. Sunday around 6pm when I arrived back at my house, I noted again that the rear was lower than the front. This time I took out the tape measure and the camera. Sure enough, the rear was 2"...
The XLT trim has Intellibeam Auto High Beams, see here or your owners manual for how to enable.

Do you have the latest version of the radio software on your infotainment system?
Do you have the latest version of Android OS on your phone?
I suggest a forget of the AA and bluetooth paring on your phone, full restart of your phone, a delete of the BT pairing of your phone on your vehicle...
Probably would have figured it out if it said "standard split" but it said "standard slit", missing the p, makes more sense now.
That might be a way to do it, guessing the fog lights output from the lighting control module is high impedance if the fog lights are off.
