Air ride suspension error fix or reset Service Ride Control

[@timeless6964]

Not Many People are Knowledgeable about this system...I Have Been Having Major Problems with Mine!!...It Works, but Not Correctly!! I Will Try the battery removal.....Thanks!!

[@chuckhere]

I subscribed.. Wow "AMERICAN MADE", what a Blessing You are. My 02 Continental passenger Air-Spring leaked. Checked every youtube site, about Continental, Town Car, Marquis, Navigator. Did find an easy Air Spring replacement site, made-the-job, a piece of cake, & I'm 74. After finishing the 2-Air Shocks, compressor came-on, but didn't fill 'the bags'.. Tried it so many times, 'the Compressor' quit working. Thought I'd have to purchase a new one?? Then I saw your site. Again, what a Blessing. Tried the Battery disconnect & shorted the + cable to ground which I guess RESET - the - System. Started the car, & SUCCESS ! ! ! Hopefully still working, when I get up tomorrow?? Air Springs are working normal so-far. Even If I have to do The Reset Function a couple more times, I will be beholden-to-You.

[@JustinSmith0]

Really glad to help

[@JustinSmith0]

*****ALERT: SUBSCRIBE NOW! I plan on releasing a "Quick Reset How to Video" soon to demonstrate (QUICK DRAIN\DISCHARGE) on what we discussed in the comments on this video.

[@PowerfulC69]

Justin thanks for the quick response. I disconnected the + cable for about a 1/2 hour reconnected and it still appears. And all the fuses are good.

[@JustinSmith0]

Cyn4Real You could also reset your system quicker. By taking your positive cable of the battery and touching it to the negative lead or something metal on the car. That'll do a quick power drain and you will know for sure it drain.

[@anthonychambers5347]

Thank you so much I just want to know that you was very helpful I thought that might have been the deal I pulled the negative but I never pulled off the positive and I notice that's when they start happening for the car not Rising again even though I hear noise from the air thing but I want to say thank you you have been very helpful so I'm not going to disconnect the battery

[@Kowalskithegreat]

This same thing worked on my 2007 DTS. I replaced the rear air shocks but the car seemed to want to stay at the level it was used to with blown bags, and i was worried about driving around with no air in the bags fuckin' the rubber up. I cycled the compressor manually with a testing relay until it was at the desired height, then disconnected the battery and let it sit for a while. It seems to have relearned the new height and the bags have air in them every time i check now!

[@JustinSmith0]

Great ... Please subscribe

[@hedleylint7622]

I repaired my unit. Whatever the material inside, melted and locked up the adjustment wheel Softened the material, clamed it away from the wheel, now works fine.

[@7777Lace]

Can you please tell me where does the short vacuum hose on the air bag pump on a 1990 Lincoln Mark Vll goes to connect to the main air line to air pump? I’m changing my old pump & it was removed, before I had the chance to see where that vacuum hose connects too. Thank You 🙏🏽

[@JustinSmith0]

No sure can't sorry

[@jesgetme]

Just replaced all shocks all shocks with arnott which cleared the "service air ride" message compressor is new but, all it does is click. Relay is also new. Trying this now

[@derrickh4129]

**2013 XTS Both rear airbags were not inflating. Disconnected Negative, then positive. Grounded positive to car frame. Let it sit for 10 minutes. Connected positive then Negative. Airbags INFLATED AGAIN.

[@JustinSmith0]

So Glade to hear that is worked for you and saved you a service call.

[@TitaniumDrillBit]

Disconnect the Battery? BEFORE you disconnect the battery turn off the AC and wait at least a minute to let all the dampers close. Just a precaution, some GM dampers go haywire when you disconnect the battery it's not in a reset (closed) position when power is reapplied.

[@JustinSmith0]

good to know.. this make and model does not apply.

[@meyerlansky618]

You’re video is amazing!! It worked, and I’m ecstatic!!! Thank you!!!

[@JustinSmith0]

awesome glad to hear it is still helping.

[@notakeback]

I believe It's call a pressure transducer, not a pressure transistor that might help anyone looking for one. Good info thanks

[@JustinSmith0]

He is correct on the transducer.

[@heritprosp1]

he's damn right, thanks my service suspension light and service airbag light is gone.

[@Mrdjhavok]

Justin Smith are u saying to take the positive battery off of the battery and touch it to metal?

[@JustinSmith0]

Yes just touch it to the Metal support bracket over top the battery area or something similar. (metal ground out) I have found talking to others and my experience you may have the error come back up after clearing it. But after grounding (clearing it) your air ride will either never come up again or it will again but after multiple resets it will RE-calibrate the air ride and start working. So dont give up.

[@Mrdjhavok]

Ok Cause I did what the video said and it's still not working so I'll give your idea a shot thanks for the response!

[@JustinSmith0]

***** Sure just ground it out to the chassis. Let us know how it worked for you.

[@gobucketgo]

hell yes. i just got the light and stumbled onto the video and disco bat terminal and touched it to frame,,,,,,, stat for 5 min discoed and wala pump a pumpin message gone

I have a 2017 XTS.. it's sitting like a lowrider in the back I just purchased the rear air shock's. Once I replace that will that fix the problem???

[@gonewronggarage4565]

My lesabre the relay doesn’t click but the height sensor is sending the signal but no relay click and the relay is good.

[@DIZEMANPHOTO]

I am looking for a way to DISABLE the 40 mph auto deflater/lowering feature. I like the profile of my 2007 H2 when the bags are up in the back, but having them deflate at 40 mph is a pain in the butt. MUST BE A WAY TO STOP THE 40 MPH AUTO LOWERING FUNCTION.

[@jameslight3529]

My service suspension light came on a code reader says co585 replaced the air ride pump lights still on also noticed I can't go past 80 mph. I just unplugged the battery hopping it resets everything. I got new air ride 6 months ago praying this works. Cadillac escalade esv 2011. Any help or tips I'm all ears

[@themaestro7922]

I've got a 2015 XTS and EVERY TIME I leave it for a month, I come back and the air bags won't air up. It's a MADDENING problem! I've always gotten them to come up after playing with the compressor relay or 40-amp suspension fuse in the trunk. But today it wouldn't work. I could hear the compressor weakly pumping and no air would build; then it would shut off! Pulling the positive cable did the trick. Didn't have it disconnected for more than a minute. Wish I knew what the HELL that problem is, though. A car should NOT fail to build air just because you leave it alone for a month or two or three.

[@terranceharrell4802]

I'm having an issue with just my right side being an inch lower. Had that rear right ride height sensor replaced then had the issue. Went to dealer spent $250 to calibrate the system and it leveled out. Drove home and that damn side is down again. Dont know what to do now. Any suggestions?

[@seanj.4634]

Hi American Made. When you say 'pull the battery'......are you just advising to disconnect just the postive terminal for about 10 minutes, and leaving the negative terminal alone?

[@JustinSmith0]

Take your positive cable off the battery and touching it to something metal on the car. That'll do a quick power drain.

[@dontedog4life]

justin i did that about 6 months ago and it didnt work,here in baltimore,md nobody sells the resistor that strut masters use so what else can i get or use, or should i do what u said about the battery drain

I purchased lowering airlinks for my 2014 Jeep Grand Cherokee Overland. All modes work but, exit/entry. When I try to get to exit/entry, the entire truck lowers but the rear stops short. You can hear the compressor working hard as hell to get that rear end to lower then boom, the infamous "service air suspension immediately" Any suggestions?

[@justins5145]

sorry I cant help have no experience with that setup. But I understand you are adding an over limit adjustment linkage.. So it seems that you may have to reset or level the system. here is a video of a guy adding that linkage and in the comments others ask great questions about the process. kzbin.info/www/bejne/aYSci4SNhcx7j9E I don't know if grounding out the system to clear the error code but try it.

I am getting a "Service Suspension System" notification with associated C0600 DTC code. My Auto Level compressor will not turn on. I have confirmed a good compressor but the code reads "Automatic Level Control Exhaust Solenoid Control Circuit". I have confirmed it is a BAD exhaust solenoid. I was interested in knowing if I can replace just the solenoid (cant find anywhere online), or is it a part of the whole compressor assembly and have to change out the compressor completely?

[@JustinSmith0]

I believe it to be a non serviceable part. You may need a pump. Places people don't think to buy is you local salvage yard. Nothing wrong with an air pump on a wrecked car. save big$

I have the same problem. I can jump mine so I know it works. I am so sick over this issue because now I'm finding out water leaks in the inner fender or windshield goes through the junction box and it needs to be replaced.

[@richardtabloff1773]

Why won’t my rear air ride system pump turn off on my 2004 Cadillac DtS rear suspension system? Help please

[@JustinSmith0]

Here are some common causes and solutions: Leaking Air Bladders or Lines: If there’s a leak in the air bladders or the air lines, the pump will keep running to try and maintain the correct pressure. You can check for leaks by spraying soapy water on the air lines and bladders and looking for bubbles. Faulty Height Sensors: The height sensors might be malfunctioning, causing the pump to run continuously. These sensors detect the vehicle’s height and adjust the air pressure accordingly. Compressor Relay or Fuse Issues: There might be an issue with the relay or fuse for the compressor. The fuse for the Electronic Level Control (ELC) is located in the rear fuse block under the rear seat cushion next to the battery. Worn-Out Compressor: If the compressor itself is failing, it might run continuously. Compressors are not designed for continuous operation and can burn out if they run too long. To troubleshoot, you can start by checking for leaks and inspecting the height sensors. If those seem fine, you might want to check the relay and fuse. If the problem persists, it could be time to replace the compressor. Thumbs up and Subscribe please..

Hey I know this is an old video but here goes. After taking my 2006 navigator to les shwabb for new tires and machining rotors, the vehicle sways quite a bit and no longer deflates after the vehicle is off for a while. i noticed the difference while driving immediately but chocked it up to new tires or maybe alignment. but then i noticed it's never any lower even after sitting all night when i would shut the vehicle off and feel it lower after a few minutes. I'm pretty sure they didn't switch the air ride system off before lifting the vehicle. could pulling the battery help with this issue? Thanks in advance

[@JustinSmith0]

Yes try to disconnect the positive cable and then touch it to the chassis frame or negative side

[@TimZ007]

Make sure don't mess with your climate control knobs when you reset the battery. Those get relearn too if you touch the temperature stuff while it's relearning it'll mess it up and you'll have to do it again or you will have heat stuck on instead of cold or something funny.

Try to by taking your positive cable off the battery and touching it to something metal on the car. That'll do a quick power drain. After grounding (clearing it) your air ride will either never come up again or it will again but after multiple resets it will RE-calibrate the air ride and start working. So dont give up. If that clears the error light and your PUMP goes back to working but then stops again after some time and multiple resets wont keep it at bay then you have another issue that needs a service shop.
