I have a 2004 with 63k Miles now
I started to get an Air Suspension Inactive sign 2 weeks ago and the range was stuck at ride height. I took it to the dealer yesterday (since no one else in the area I called had proper diagnostic tools) and they ran the diagnostics, telling me that I had a faulty/ failing air compressor and quoted me $900 for the repair. Soon enough, the technician came in and said once he reset the computer, the compressor was working fine and the suspension was active again. I paid them the $115 + tax for the diagnostics and reset and I was happy on my way. The car was fine all day - started it up 3 times after the dealer.
Today, I started it again, to witness another Air Suspension Inactive on the screen, again stuck at ride height. The temperature has been below freezing for the past few weeks here in NJ and the problem first occurred on the coldest day we had here.
Do you guys think the problem is linked to a failing compressor? Is there a sensor associated to the compressor that could be causing the problem? Is there anyway I can reset the EAS myself (through a battery reset by taking of the negative terminal)? Is there anyone in the NJ/NY/Philadelphia area with the tool to reset the EAS?
Any help would be appreciated. If the compressor was shot, why was the range working after the reset? The bags were inflating and deflating perfectly fine - taking the normal amount of time to do so.
