Have you tested for a leak yet? Are the shocks original or have you replaced them? To test for a leak, you can get some dish soap and mix it with water. Once it is combined, you can use the soapy water to put it on the shocks and air lines. If you see bubbles coming up anywhere, then you have a leak.

As far as the warning light being on...AGAIN...you must to take it to a facility that can read what the code the SCM (Suspension Control Module) is throwing.

Just like already mentioned, get the code read and also get under your rig when you know that the air bags should be fully inflated and either listen for leaking and/or spray the soapy water on the air bags as well as around the compressor! When I did my compressor I developed a decent leak after a month or so where the air tank resevoir attaches into the compressor, I had to take it apart lube the o-ring and make sure the tank was fully inserted into the compressor!

Compressor metallic sensors

What makes you think it is leaking? AutoRide almost always runs every time the vehicle is started. It should run for a few seconds, then shut off. If you stay near the compressor, you can actually hear the exhaust solenoid activate and let some of the air back out for a quick second. I think the system is just checking itself, so that is normal operation.

Yeah, the cheap code readers will not pull the codes. Usually, a shop will be able to tell you this or the dealer. They will often pull the codes for you for free. Just ask, it won't hurt anything.

I read on another forum that I was wondering what to do with my compressor. One guy with the same year said I had to clean of off the rust of the leveling sensors in order for it to read accurately, Has any of you heard if this where the sensors are the problems or the reason why the compressor pumps up all the time. Right after I installed my compressor it worked for a week and then I got the error again and the compressor pump up like usual and when I got home it would pumping non stop any help/ Thanks in advance and god bless;

I took the vehicle in to have the shocks for a leak test and the shocks are good and he recommended to check all the level sensors and make sure those are working. I don't have the money for them to check the sensors so underneath the vehicle I go..

And yet you still do not get the code(s) read to help you accurately diagnose your issue? :emotions122:

A leak test can be done at home with some soapy water and a pair of good eyes and ears....

I give up.... :shrug:

it has an exhaust valve solenoid on the compressor itself to maintain the right psi in the shocks controlled by the suspension control module...
