Generally a leaking line will not pump up, much like a punctured balloon. A spray bottle of soapy water will be your friend discovering the issue.
If the bag does not raise at all, check to see that the pump continues to run. If it cycles, then adjust the control's position. Follow the air lines from the bags.
If the air pump runs constantly, then you have a major leak, a damaged air line, omitted O-ring, etc.
The most common problem with leaking air bags is not the bag itself. The most frequent issue is the O-ring on the air lines. I will assume that the new bags came with new O-rings? Did you replace the ones at the pump and at the Tee? O-ring problem are usually slow, sometimes over night.
Hope this helps.

Air suspension is controlled by the compressor in your engine compartment. The compressor runs when the suspension is not level. Either because you have loaded the car with exceptional weight and the system is now adjusting the ride, or you have a leak in the system, or you have a bad sensor.
If you have a leak, the most likely culprit are the air suspension bags, the air suspension solenoids or possibly the lines to them.

I don't work for either of them. I own a 96 TC and have replaced my air suspension with coil springs form Strutmasters. Work GREAT and I have no more air suspension problems. Rides just as good too. You can't tell the difference.

easy fix.
the drivers airbag comes with the steering wheel. To remove it, snap off the plastic cover at the bottom of the steering wheel. there will be a screw which you need to remove. You will be unscrewing it for quite some time and the wheel will only wobble but eventually it will come off. Disconnect the wires. To replace, put the new steering wheel on trying to align the pin and screw it back in. don't forget to connect the wire. To remove the passenger side, open the glove compartment, squeeze both sides of the back to let the glove compartment fully open. There are 3 nut that you need to remove and a wire. To replace, just do the opposite.
Most likely, you will have to replace the airbag control module also. On this particular year and model, it is located behind the storage compartment below the radio. To remove, unscrew 4 screws (2 on each side of the compartment), disconnect the 12v lighter plug and remove. The computer is located in the very back and has 3 nuts holding it down. There is an arrow on it pointing to the front of the vehicle. Remove the nuts, unplug the wires and get a computer which has the exact same code as yours.
Sometimes, (as was in my case) when the airbag went off, my seatbelts went off and locked in place. To replace, remove the plastic cover off of where the seat belt slides through (near the top of the door post) and unscrew the nut then remove/move aside the plastic trim and unscrew 1 bolt below the seatbelt roll and remove. The last bolt is located between the seat and door. Pick up the carpet and unscrew.

Remove clips from battery and then check carefully all the air bag sensors i.e under driver seat or passenger seat. Best way is a computer diagnose to find the right cause from car's ecu.

Yes its the air bag module that's bad because he over rode the system the bags are not getting any air from the pump and are slowly deflating.
