SOURCE: 97 range rover air suspension problem

Yes, I have worked on these for years, the airshocks get old and seep,weather cracks and wear when they get bad they will burn up the pump, there are several solutions, I have removed the air valves and put stop leak in them and been able to get an extra year out of them, your best bet is to replace the air shocks before they burn your pump up. In my opinion.

2010 Ford Expedition Can someone tell me where the air suspension compressor relay is? Not talking about a relay in the fuse box but the other one that has two bolt holes in it and a pigtail running in it....

I have not looked at your part but there usually is a plastic panel cover on one of the rear quarter panels inside the rear cargo area. Sometimes it is paired with the inertia switch relay.

Wanted to inform you that some of the better scanners can diagnose Air suspension problems. Some of the big auto-parts stores offer free scans but few use the better scanner. Call ahead.

Rear suspension will deflate but why won't it inflate?

That could work , You mite be able to test the sensor in question with ohm meter . Test the front one an see what the resistance is ,then check the back one. I don't know what it should be with out looking it up in the service info . You could also check to see if the sensor is getting power from the control module , an see if there is a return input to the module .
There are a few DTC'S this able to set !

Suspension problems on 1998 cadillac sts

Best thing to do is have the OBD ( on-board diagnostics) system scanned for trouble codes. Places such as Auto Zone and Advance Auto may run a scan for free or for a low fee.

Gas mileage is terrible,check engine light on,put on computer by friend said o2 sensor -i wasnt sure my friend new what he was doing so took to auto zone now they say the computer wont read

auto zone reader will sometimes not read codes. take it to your local garage and ask them to plug into it with an updated reader. i dont charge to read a code and i would hope they dont either. the o2 sensor could cause bad gas mileage. whens the last tune up done? check air filter. plugs? also check air in tires. low tires can cost fuel mileage as well. hope this helps

Where can i get a copy of the parts that make up the air suspesion of my 2001 grand marquis. sometime it works and other time it will not.

Vehicle Dynamic Suspension The vehicle dynamic suspension consists of the following components:
  • Rear air suspension control (RAS) module (5A919)
  • Snorkel
  • Drier
  • Air compressor (5319)
  • Air suspension switch (5K761)
  • Solenoid valve (5311)
  • Air spring (5560)
  • Air suspension height sensor (5359)
  • Air line
------------------------------------------------
Visual Inspection Chart Mechanical Electrical
  • Restricted suspension movement
  • Excessive vehicle load
  • Cut, severed, or crimped air line(s)
  • Damaged air spring(s)
  • Height sensor damage
  • Height sensor mounted incorrectly, disconnected, or damaged
  • Central junction box (CJB):
    • Fuse 5 (15A)
  • Battery junction box (BJB):
    • Fuse 8 (30A)
  • Loose or corroded connectors
  • Air suspension switch OFF


The air suspension control module is diagnosed using Super Star II Tester 418-F045 (007-0041B) or equivalent.
The test connector used to communicate with the air suspension control module is located on the RH side of the luggage compartment.
When the tester is connected, the engine is started and the HOLD/TEST button is latched down, the air suspension control module will respond sending a code 10 to the Super Star II Tester which represents "Diagnostics mode entered." If diagnostic trouble code (DTC) 10 is not displayed, go to Pinpoint Test A.

Check engine light is on and steady when you put it in drive and start up the road it starts flashing, the engine at idle is rough and sounds like there is an exhaust leak?

Take the vehicle to an autoparts store and have them scan the computer for any fault codes that it has stored. Most parts stores will do the scan for free and getting the codes will end speculation as to the cause. The check engine light indicates that the computer has noted a fault in one of the vehicle's systems. What you describe could be caused by a faulty idle air control valve or it could even be more than one factor, but getting the codes should help narrow down the cause of the problem. Sure hope this helped and best wishes.
