Is there a problem with the rear air suspension?
Both the rear sensors are in place, the arms are intact, and there is no visible damage to the harness connectors on either side. I removed the 30 amp fuse, and loosened both the red and blue air lines to each canister, and let each side bleed down.
What happens if you have a leak in your air suspension?
If a major leak has developed, you may even hear a hissing sound from the wheel housing area. The whole front or rear of the car will drop down, even when only one of the struts is defective. The car will drop more on one side, typically on the side of the leaking air strut.
Why is my discovery rear air suspension leaking?
Regarding the dropping suspension, I had the same issue and new bags were the solution (Arnott). I’ve read elsewhere that the bags will leak more when lower (standard height) than when in off-road mode. The reason is that when the bag lowers, it folds over itself and the porous bag leaks at the point of the fold.
How big is the rear air suspension Jack?
It only drops down about an inch when you unhook the air shock. The air shock is not the only thing holding up the rear. The spring/shock do most of the work back there. The air bags on the shocks are just a supplement. Now, if you were removing the entire shock that would be a different story… You don’t necessarily need it on jacks.

What kind of air suspension does BMW X5 have?
I have an ’02 X5 3.0 with the rear axle air spring suspension (not the 4 corner system). Just last week, while on a trip, the “self Leveling Susp Inact” warning came up on dash display.
Why are my rear air springs not working?
The rear air springs are both full, if anything over full. I replaced both rear air springs about a year ago, because of a leak in one side. I did a lot of research on this issue, but haven’t been able to find anyone with the specific problem I am having.
How does the autoride air suspension system work?
The Automatic Level Control (ALC) system maintains a desired rear suspension position under all types of towing, hauling and loading conditions. The system uses the Electronic Suspension Control Module (ESCM) and the serial data circuit to perform the system functions.
What should I do if my Air Ride does not turn on?
If any of your indicators are bent, missing or otherwise misaligned, have that corrected before continuing your troubleshooting efforts. Start the car and listen for the air ride compressor to kick on. If the compressor does not turn on, check the fuse and replace it if necessary.
What should I do about my Cadillac air ride?
The self leveling suspension worked great! Unless you just have to keep the air ride, I’d ditch the system altogether, and install regular shocks. There are a couple of Bilstein install threads in this forum. Disconnect the air connections from the shocks, replace the shocks.

Why does my Air Ride fail while driving?
The compressor would cycle on and off at startup, and at times, continually while driving. After about one month, the new compressor finally failed. After performing some checks suggested on You-tube, I decided that I should have my air ride system checked for leaks.

More recently, custom car builders have been using air suspensions to either get lower or go higher. Sometimes, however, they falter. Troubleshooting air suspension problems can be tricky, but it’s not impossible by any means to both figure out the problems, and fix them.

Even if it’s not, you may still have noticeable problems with your air suspension. If your XTS is sagging in the rear or leaning to one side, you are probably experiencing air suspension issues. This is also true if you have noticed a noisy compressor under the hood or a small “nose dive” when coming to a stop.
