You mean the code didn't just show up on your dash readout?

The software you have should narrow it down for you more than just telling you the suspension is inactive.

My bad, I just saw the additional code you posted.

Have you checked the fuses for the suspension? That's where I would start.

I did start but ill go through it thoroughly. I dont have a garage and its cold here recently in NY.

Today, my light telling me my brake pads are low came up. Im wondering if it has anything to do with it. Granted, the suspension message came up BEFORE the"brake" light pops up. a few days as a matter of fact.

Also, I wanted to note that I am not having any suspension issues such as sagging.

You need to rebuild your compressor as the seal has worn out. Then you need to reset the module using GT1/DIS to clear the faults.

Get the only kit proven to work, Bagpipingandy's.

Hopefully I'm not thread jacking here.

I'm dealing with the same/similar issue. My indy mechanic cleared the code(s) to get the suspension working again, but it typically throws it shortly after especially in the colder weather we're having (below freezing). I'm debating between the rebuild kit you linked to or Arnott's new compressor. Obviously the price difference is substantial ($47 vs. $650). The removal/install of the new compressor looks pretty easy as does the rebuild kit. Can anyone tell me what the advantage of going with a new compressor is or what would justify the added expense? I figure if the compressor functions periodically now and the system holds air (no sagging after having "inactive" code for 5 days) a simple rebuild should be adequate?

Thanks,

Micah

I'd try the 50 dollar rebuild before plunking 12 times as much on a new compressor.

If the compressor still runs, then you don't need the compressor - just the seal kit. If the compressor doesn't actually run (which is rare) then you might need the new one.
