Diagnosis ProcedureINFOID:0000000003772335
1.CHECK COMPRESSOR MOTOR RELAY OPERATION
CAUTION:
The "COMPRESSOR" active test will remain ON until it is turned off using CONSULT-III. Allowing the
compressor to run for an extended period of time may cause damage to the air levelizer system com-
ponents due to excessive air pressure.
CONSULT-III
1. Turn ignition ON.
2. Select "COMPRESSOR" of AIR LEVELIZER active test items.
3. While operating test item, check that the suspension air compressor turns ON.
Does the suspension air compressor operate properly?
YES >> Compressor motor relay and suspension air compressor are operating normally.
