This last Saturday I had the air suspension system fail with a warning alert on the dash to contact the service center. The SC took the vehicle pretty quickly on the following Tuesday (I had been given a 2 month scheduling wait time for a FWD issue I reported a few weeks earlier, so I know they are pretty backlogged in general). I'm hoping they will be able to look at the problem by tomorrow, but I'm wondering if someone else might have already experienced this issue.
In a way, I'm not surprised it had failed as I had reported weeks before that while the car is off and a few feet away from my office, I can often hear the air compressor cycling for perhaps 1 second every minute or two in the worst cases. I had told them I thought there there was perhaps an air leak in the system and that the compressor was trying to maintain either constant pressure or ride position (although one would think this in an energy-wasting strategy when the car is off and parked). It makes me wonder if the high power consumption (237W) while the vehicle was off that I had reported in this thread:
Vampire Drain - normal losses ?
might be at least in part due to this.
