VTC-16B Tool changer locked up

I have a 1998 VTC-16B with an Mplus control. During a tool change operation, my air compressor failed to deliver enough volume to the machine, which caused it to stop in mid operation.
What I have now is, the machine's spindle is elevated above the umbrella, the umbrella is extended and the drawbar is closed, as in, it's not letting any air through it.
I tried shutting the machine off, bleeding the air out, then manually pushing the umbrella back, but it only returned once again after air pressure was supplied.
I am unable to get it to move to "Home 1" or "Home 2" in any axis.
After spending hours scouring through the books, I cannot find any information that would help me get this machine out of this lockup.

Any assistance would be greatly appreciated, as I am at a total loss at this point.
