Air Exhaust Vent Location

Air Exhaust Vent Location
Like the rest of you I'm dealing with suspension faults. The old "not venting" fault. I've just finished "rebuilding" the compressor. I didn't do it all because I definitely would have broken some bolts it was so corroded. Anyhow, I'm ready to put it back in but I'd like to check the location where the air actually vents out. It is proving to be an elusive location... Anyone know where air vents out? I've found in. I've found the exhaust valve on the compressor. Some compressors even have an attached exhaust filter. Not my Hitachi style... I'd love to know if there is a filter or something I can replace. Cheers.

There is no need to concern yourself with exhausting really. The exhaust is the larger diameter outlet on the rear of the compressor. It goes into a tube and up inside the vehicle where it doubles back and exist very close to the compressor (look for an open tube above the compressor when removed). That same plumbing is used for an inlet with filter for the compressor. The filter is well protected and unless the vehicle had flood damage, should never be an issue.
If you are getting a none-venting fault, it can be a number of issues including faulty exhaust pilot solenoid.

I actually looked through the whole diagram that you posted on another thread. Can't believe I missed that. Doh! Anyway, downloaded it for future use. It's a good detail of the whole EAS. Thanks. My exhaust solenoid didn't show much in terms of wear. It did have a bunch of white dust that I cleaned out so hopefully that helps. Also, the rebuild kit I bought didn't have a replacement for the very small filter that is in there. That was kind of a bummer.

Plate comes off. Then under that the spring, like you saw. Then you also slide out the piston. You also remove the solenoid and the small exhaust plunger under the "bolt" head. Under that bolt head is a small spring and a rubber plunger that hardens and fails. But down inside are 6 little holes, they can clog too. So all that need a look over and any debris can impact venting.
