Understood with the code and the compressor being near end of life. I will rebuild soon. It was a code thrown yesterday for the first time and is explained by an overworked compressor due to my leak.
My goal right now is to understand the system to help me find the leak.
Does the strut itself hold pressure within the strut itself...or is that pressure held at the accumulator? Does the accumulator have serviceable parts or is it a one unit deal that requires full replacement?

The EHC module reads the pressure being generated and held in the accumulator (reservoir), if the compressor isn't able to pump air in the accumulator fast enough because its running like its a former smoker, the code will be thrown, even though the compressor is sending air in there, it is not doing it fast enough per the spec that the EHC module has saved in its memory. Once the spec is far enough out, the code is thrown and the error appears.
Fix the compressor, for $50 for the repair kit it is worth it to do.
The compressor can function perfectly fine and it will continue to do so but if it is throwing that code, over time it will throw it more and eventually it will just stay on, it is a gradual thing. Fix it. |
