Self level suspension inactive
 
My left rear started leaking Friday and then I got the inactive warning and I am now dragging the ground. The right rear does not leak but I need to get the pump running so that I can replace the left rear bag.

Is there anyway to reset itor test it.


Thanks


Shawn

Not without applicable tool/program.

Not sure why you need the system to fill to replace the busted bag? I may have missed something in the post. You can jack up the rear axle and replace the problem bag. While I didn't get the message, my bags would not inflate. So I lowered the X just so the wheels touch the ground and set the ride high to the lowest setting, brought it to standard height, then highest setting and back down to standard and all was well.

I'm with ttgtr. Why do you need the system to turn on? Replace the bag, then worry about the system to turn on. You do not want to destroy your compressor trying to inflate a leaky spring.

I did my leaking front struts only to find out the compressor was "burnt out" from working overtime when the struts were leaking, previous owner never got around to fixing them. got a fresh compressor and ride height works again.


replace whats leaking as soon as you can, use Arnott bags. If its the rear, replace both, for an extra 100 bucks you'll be glad not to replace the other side in a few months time when it goes (and it will).

Thanks guys...I found that the fuse had blown and this is why it was not working. I just thought it would be easier to work on with it already at ride height. However, everyone was correct and as soon as I put a jack under it I was able to get it up to see the air bag and why it needs to be replaced.

Thanks again
