  1. Inspect the air delivery system for damaged air springs or supply lines.
  2. Ignition OFF, disconnect the harness connector at the air suspension compressor assembly.
  3. Test for less than 2.0 ohms between the low reference circuit connector X1, terminal D and ground.
    • If greater than the specified value, test the low reference circuit for an open/high resistance. If the circuit tests normal, replace the air suspension compressor assembly.
  4. Ignition ON, verify that a test lamp illuminates between the compressor B+ circuit connector X1, terminal H and ground.
    • If the test lamp does not illuminate, test the B+ circuit for a short to ground or an open/high resistance. If the circuit tests normal, test or replace the air suspension compressor assembly.
  5. Ignition ON, verify that a test lamp illuminates between the compressor IGN 3 circuit connector X1, terminal G and ground.
    • If the test lamp does not illuminate, test the IGN 3 circuit for a short to ground or an open/high resistance. If the circuit tests normal, test or replace the air suspension compressor assembly.
    • If the circuit tests normal, replace the air suspension compressor assembly.
