Circuit Description

The compress accumulator will detect conditions of excessive rear suspension leveling air compressor activity. Usually this condition is generally due to the presence of pneumatic leaks or vehicle overload conditions. An accumulator timer will keep track of the compressor run time. The timer resets at each ignition cycle or if an exhaust sequence has occurred.

Conditions for Setting the DTC

If the compressor is active for more than 3 minutes before the rear of the vehicle reaches a trim position.

Action Taken When the DTC Sets

    • All compressor activity is disabled.
    • The LEVELING indicator lamp flashes.
    • DTC 10 is stored as a history code at the end of the ignition cycle.

Conditions for Clearing the DTC

    • Using a scan tool.
