I took my car in for service yesterday to have any codes in the SAS ecu cleared. A service manager whom I’ve known for many years happened to come out and check out my car. He said that codes aren’t stored in SAS unless the air suspension failed and wouldn’t work anymore after the red icon on the dash, error codes in notifications, the necessity to replace or repair something in order for it to operate, that sort of thing. It prevents you from operating the vehicle until it’s fixed and the code removed.
So he said clearing codes won’t actually do anything for me.
He did sit in the car and mess with the screen, he got under the hood where everything is removed and he could see clearly. He told me there’s a leak somewhere without a doubt, and that having it up on an alignment rack is the ideal way to spray the lines with soapy water.
With that in mind, I ended up swapping one of my front struts to a rebuilt oem strut, and another one arrives tomorrow and I’ll do the same at that time.
After the new strut install the car actually aired up much closer to level on both sides, for the first time in several weeks. Maybe some coincidence there, but after installing the other strut tomorrow, I’m going to reconnect the rear fittings and try again. If still no luck, I’ll figure out how to spray down the lines while the compressor runs.
