Have you checked all four ride height sensors and sensor arms? If one is broken, the car will drop to the bump stops.

Tesla S 2019 Air suspension is not available

Did unplugged one or both front sensors, but nothing happened. Car got hit on the front left side and had to order a salvage upper wishbone arm and that came with the height sensor as well. So if old was would have been damaged, I'd didn't looked like, the other one should had made a difference, but nothing.
Still believe it's a can tool box reset thing.
Will keep looking

K0s0vo, I would love to get the pin out on the pump as my ride is looking like a 64 impala with switches and no air. It is slammed. Love the look, but terrible to drive around knowing your batteries are an inch or two above the pavement. Thanks in advance. If someone else has the pin out for the valves on the pump, post it up. It seems like there are several of us who could use it.
I’d be very interested in how this was resolved, must be answers out there somewhere
Mine ended up being a faulty hose to the motor. One of the copper compression sleaves was bad. Once that was replaced it started working right.

That process isn't really all that fishy. Teslas are basically a big Linux PC with wheels - so the guy would likely ask you to buy a cheap laptop, install Linux Ubuntu, and then SSH into your car from there. He could also do it through a VM, which would be free.
The fishy part would be - does he actually know linux command line to the point where he can navigate the brain of your car effectively.

So, just to clear up some information --
1) Currently, your compressor does not activate unless you jumper it with 12V from an outside source. Correct?
2) Does your reserve tank have pressure in it? If not, have you tried connecting an air compressor to the schraeder valve on the tank and airing it up to 150 psi? That will help determine if the 'roadblock' is the compressor, or the entire system.
3) Tesla Approved Bodyshops have Tesla Toolbox, the tool which has the 'calibrate air susension' function. Have you contacted them about trying to just run a calibration and see if that 'resets' the system?

Part three is not completely true. Tesla is paranoid about anyone having access that is not them. So, most body shops do not have toolbox (I found out by going to them and asking them to connect). They said they do the body work, and then the service tech comes out and makes the final tweaks with the computer. Toolbox is now available by subscription on the service.tesla.com page. They provide no support and they will not tell you how to connect. No matter what number you call, nobody will help you and it ends up not working as it is the web-based toolbox 3 that you get and it is limited and buggy.

Fair enough - all of the approved body shops *in my area* have toolbox. But to your point, their competency with it varies widely. And like you said, many still rely on mobile service to come out and do software related items.
For example - the body shop near me has toolbox, was able to connect to the car, and run the calibration command - however they almost boffed it when they tried to lower it using the software instead of lowering links, and the values it was getting from the sensors was outside of the expected range.
I have a new 2022 MXP, picked up in August 2022. The dreaded TAS2_a285 error!
It has been in for service 3 times for the same issue with air suspension (see attached). Tesla has had it for a total of 11 days and have been unable to resolve.

You're mistaken
Mine has this morning thrown the TAS_a218 Air suspension adjustment unavailable error. It is still under warranty.
While this thread may not be the ideal place for it, it is the first result on Google and seems as a good placeholder as any for related issues. Will keep everyone posted.

There is another thread here on the TAS_a218 problem specifically, which from the OP's update looks to have been solved by a replacement compressor.

This was the detail of the fix for my 2022 MXP Air Suspension errors (from the Tesla invoice):
“Splayed pin found at connector to ride height sensor that was causing intermittent loss of power
when driving. New terminal was installed and verified power and ground at sensor.”
It took 3 SC visits for a total of 12 days in service. It seems to be fixed now.

I had the same TAS_a218 Air Suspension adjustment not available error. I put the car into Service Mode and from there it was pretty easy to see the detailed error. There is a customer view and a service view of errors. Mine (on a 2018 Model S 100D) was a a grounded left rear height position sensor. I took off the left rear wheel and removed the 10mm bolts holding it to the car and to the suspension and found the wire to be damaged and corroded. I cut out the bad part and soldered it all back together. I then covered with silicone and heat shrink tubing and the error is GONE! Very happy with a free fix.
