Check Air Ride System -

I've been getting the check air ride warning.

I've pumped up the bags and bags don't go down.

Compressor seems to run a lot. I was thinking that some moisture was freezing in the compressor durring the very cold temps. I've been running with the air ride off for most of the winter.

But yesterday when I got home I noticed the car was down. I pumped them up and turned off the system and they have been up since.

Any thoughts? I don't think its the bags right now!

Probably the same problem I had, water in the dryer is freezing and not passing air through it. I bought another dryer from Arnott (the compressor is only a few months old from American Air Suspension) and it's been fine since.

Now that I think about it, it could be the stock vent (I'm assuming you have the stocker and not the Spyder valve) is clogged and won't let the car vent. I'd check that, too.

Good luck.

This is what I was thinking! The compressor not being able to vent itself.

Same thing with me, you'll find my thread if you search my name... it was 3 degrees out and I came into Manhattan looking like an SUV then in the garage it warmed up and the car came down...

Hasn't done it since.
