What does the air suspension warning light mean?
Typically, this will occur if the compressor isn’t providing as much air as it should or if there is a leak in the one of the bags. A leak in one of the bags will cause the ride height to be lower, which is detected by the computer using the height sensor.
What happens when the air suspension compressor quits working?

Air can potentially leak back into the compressor and cause internal damage to the compressor itself. This will impede the quality of journey and also the suspension elevation of the vehicle.
Why is my air suspension not working properly?
A faulty compressor is also a common air suspension problem. As stated previously, the compressor works to keep the air springs inflated. Oftentimes, a compressor malfunctions because it’s overworked, meaning that it runs more often than usual. This wears it out and causes the part to fail faster.
How can I tell if my air suspension compressor is failing?
Most suspension systems are self-regulated and will automatically turn the compressor on and off according to the system’s requirements. The suspension system cannot function without it. If the compressor is failing to come on at all, then that is a sign that it has either failed or it is having an issue.
What causes air suspension compressor to freeze up?
Moisture was in the system, which was causing the Compressor to freeze up (I had told them before when I heard the Compressor running it did not sound right). As the other poster mentioned, it is a closed system. Moisture should not get into the Compressor – and if it does it will start to cause more and more problems.
Can a faulty air compressor cause air suspension to sag?
The air compressor works to keeps the bags and springs properly inflated. When there’s a leak, the compressor will keep running. On top of that, if there’s a leak in the air springs, the height of the vehicle will drop or it will sag on the side where the damaged air spring is. A faulty compressor is also a common air suspension problem.
