RIP RS-R coilovers. Only had it a couple months and this message popped up today.

Visually inspecting all 4 electronic damper connectors they are dry and looks ok.

Have not plugged in an obd2 tool to collect dtcs yet.. don’t have that tool.

Driving around, the struts seem good..

I had a the same issue and was able to diagnose it to my ADS module. The wire harness on my original front right coilover had become frayed from my speedy install and it eventually shorted the ADS module. Could be worth checking the wire harnesses on yours. Granted without a DTC via a scan tool its anyone's guess here as to what's causing your problem.

If you are not careful you can damage the ADS wire at the top of the damper if you adjust the length of the damper on the car without paying enough attention to it. I'd recommend taking a look at that end of the wire just to make sure.

Check the wire harness.

I'll check again. Maybe use compressed air and contact cleaner. Surprisingly the message didn't come back today.. not sure what's going on.
