Suspension Will Not Lower - Repair Procedure
AFFECTED VEHICLE RANGE
CONDITION SUMMARY:
Situation:
A situation has been identified where corrosion or contamination may be blocking the air suspension compressor exhaust muffler causing the vehicle to not lower and possibly store Diagnostic Trouble Code (DTC) C1A13-64. A new dryer desiccant gives improved durability by keeping the system dry to prevent further corrosion. A new muffler with an additional hole will allow any residual corrosion debris to escape.
Action:
Should a customer complain of the symptoms above, install a new air suspension compressor dryer kit and compressor exhaust muffler. Follow the repair procedure outlined below.
