Default OBD codes B1323, B1428, C1770, C1790, C1818, C1830 and C1850

My 98 Windstar Limited has air suspension in the back. Lately, it would be sitting low in the back before starting it up in the morning. The compressor would pump it up as soon as you fired up the van. And the rest of the day would be fine. The other day, the warning light for the air suspension came on, and the compressor has not worked since. Fuses and power connections all seem okay. OBD codes B1323, B1428, C1770, C1790, C1818, C1830 and C1850 were in the system. Is anyone here familiar with these codes and therefore what the problem may be?

Meanwhile, the winnie is now a lowrider! (Hmm ...!)

Thanks to all who reply!

Update:

So, the problem was the air ride compressor. I couldn't find ANYONE offering or manufacturing new air ride compressors for 98 Windstars. The next best choice was to get mine rebuilt. Then, sooner or later, the bags for the air suspension would begin to leak, if they haven't already. Bottom line, it was better for me to convert to conventional coil springs and shocks. I opted for variable rate coil springs for the added resistance with the heavier loads. Total Cost Can. $ 800 including labour.
