How can I tell if my air suspension is bad?
Checking the suspension system for physical damage like rust is the easiest way to determine if there’s too much moisture in the compressed air. This problem can also affect leveling capabilities, the compressor, or overall suspension performance, so you want to check the stance and performance of your vehicle as well.
What do you need to know about air suspension systems?
Devices for controlling the air pressure and compressors for compressing air are required in the air spring suspensions. These systems generally employ small, electric, or engine-driven air compressors which sometimes fill an on-board air receiver tank that stores compressed air for use in the future without delay.
What to do if there is no power to the air suspension pump?
If there is no power going to the air suspension compressor, check the air suspension fuse and relay. Here is a picture that shows no power to the air suspension pump. The next step would be to use a professional diagnostic scanner such as the iCarsoft MB II to check the fault codes for the Air Suspension Control Unit.
What happens if your air suspension compressor fails?
If the compressor is allowed to continuously operate with abnormal sounds, it may eventually result in damage to the compressor that will cause it to fail. When the compressor fails, the system will have no means of inflating the air bags and the vehicle will have a disabled suspension. 3. The compressor won’t come on

Why does my air suspension not kick in?
If you do not hear compressor kick in at all when you press button to raise suspension, chances are, compressor bad. If you hear mechanical sounds that sound other than an electrical mattress inflator, you can suspect compressor.
