Hose Assembly, Air Suspension: Removal
Place the vehicle in "Tire Jack Mode" before proceeding with any service procedure.
All pressurized air suspension components contain high pressure air (up to 220 psig). Use extreme caution when inspecting for leaks. Wear safety goggles and adequate protective clothing when inspecting or servicing the air suspension system. A sudden release of air under this amount of pressure can cause possible serious or fatal injury.
Before performing any service on the air suspension system, the system must be disabled to prevent the system from changing ride height. Before any given component is to be serviced it must be deflated. Servicing the air suspension system without the system disabled, or with pressure in any specific component, can cause possible serious or fatal injury.
If the filter has any sign of water, or the suction hose to the back of the compressor has a leak, the air supply unit (ASU) must be replaced.
