That's depressurising the system and on the suspension ECU Kenny that you have found.

Once you've depressurised, it should tell you to disconnect battery whilst you are doing whatever work, to ensure the system does not start again until needed.

So assuming before you depressurised - you had the suspension on lowest, have then deopressurised, disconnected battery etc, - when you have completed your work, you should just follow same procedure for battery re-connection and the pump will start when the battery is connected. Then when starting the engine, you should leave it on low to bleed the system following the procedure that I put up in your other thread:

You may need to provide 7 PSI of pressure to get it started - I didn't on mine - it just took about 3 minutes to start rising.
