Having it hooked up to a factory scan tool would be your best bet . Check for DTC'S diagnostic trouble codes . Without testing ,code scan ,we'd only be guessing .
Very complex , the untrained person hasn't got a pray of fixing this . You have no idea what your dealing with . 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
  • Rear Air Suspension Control Module
    A microprocessor controls the air suspension system. The microprocessor and its supporting hardware are contained in the rear air suspension control module. The rear air suspension control module responds to signals from various sensors in the vehicle to maintain the programmed ride height while the vehicle is either moving or stopped. The rear air suspension control module accomplishes this by opening and closing solenoid valves to control the amount of air in the air spring(s). The rear air suspension control module turns on the compressor by applying voltage through the compressor relay to inflate the air spring(s) and raise the vehicle. The rear air suspension control module opens the vent solenoid to lower the vehicle by releasing air from the air spring(s) in response to signal inputs from the air suspension height sensor(s).

SOURCE: air suspension not leveling the vehicle as it should

no the air supply line must be leaking to the air bag, go back and complain, these bags last about 75-100,000 miles.

SOURCE: just had car dealership repair 1997 lincoln town air ride

Those Lincolns are notorious for that,I'd just get a set of coil springs out of a Crown Victoria cop car(junk yard)and swap them out.Done it many times,you can do it in about an hour,and they'll never leak down again.By the way,there's some O-rings in that system.Make some soapy water and spray every connection,just maybe you'll get lucky.

Rear Air Suspension won't air up
take the sensor arm loose and manually operate it, when it is up, it thinks the suspension is low. Spray the bags and hoses with soapy water to find any leaks, dawn dish detergent works well. repair any leaks. If no leaks manifest, take a hose loose and see if you are actually getting air pressure from the air pump. Just because it is running, doesn't mean it is supplying pressure.

What does the air suspension light mean?
It could mean the compress motor has running longer than usual, or you just forgot to turn the switch (in trunk) back on. Usually it means there is a leak in the suspension air bag so the motor keeps pumping. Checked the 2 air bags just like check flat tires, put soapy water and see if bubbles come out. I bought the bags online for about $95 each.

Rear suspension sags
Your vehicle has air bags that are part of the suspension. They are made of rubber and over the years thaey get cracks in them.This also can cause the air pump to run continusly to the point of burning out the pump or blowing the fuse, There is also a little arm that attaches to the rear end that may have come off. This part goes to a sensor that could keep it from not airing up the air bags, If you don't hear the pump coming on see if the fuse has blown. If so replace the fuse see if the pump comes on. If it pumps the vehicle up get a spray bottle full of soapy water and spray each air bag to look for leaks. There is a place that sells remanufactured air bags on the internet or try this number 18665972397. hope this helps leave comment

2006 GMC Envoy Air suspension - Back of the car is on the wheels every morning. Is this a problem with the Air suspension?
yes you must have a leak somewhere. maybe in the air bags or the lines. jack up the car while there is still air in the bags get some soapy water in a spray bottle and start spraying the air bag and lines and pump until you find the leak. then replace whats needed.

Check air suspension system problem
sounds like one of the rear air bags is leaking and if you get under car and spray with soapy water from spray bottle you can find leak and replace bag or line that is leaking. turning off the pump is not a good idea the rear bags will deflate and cause the car to ride too low and cause damage bottoming out. also if the leak is not fixed soon the air compressor will run too constantly and burn out/wear out and very expansive to replace.

Suspension air compressor
If your compressor is running all the time, it is almost certain that you have a leak. It could be either in the lines going to the rear air bags, or the air bags themselves. Simplest way to find a leak, is to get a spray bottle with soapy water, make sure the suspension is aired up, and spray the lines starting from the compressor. Work all the way back to the bags, now when you get the bags nice and soapy then bounce the rear of the truck up and down. If their are any leaks the soapy water will bubble up showing you wear the leak it.
That is how i would start.

If its a bigger leak the rear air bags wont stay aired up, if its a small leak, then the air compressor will be running all the time to keep the truck aired up.

Remember, when you are driving, the compressor is constantly working to keep the rear bags at the proper height, even more so on rough roads.
