Per my contact at Lippert in regards to the auto leveling systems like the Lippert Ground Control 3.0 Electric 5th Wheel RV Leveling System w Touchpad and Remote - 4-Point Set # LC358590. Try these steps:

Manually level the coach
Reset the zero point.
Run auto level.
If the coach is acting the same I would most likely say we have either a rear sensor issue or a controller issue.
