Ok guys, he bought a reader. Here’s the results, But I see nothing in those results that would shut off the air compressor for the ride system after 15 to 20 seconds



any further thoughts?

 

Apparently he wasn’t done sending me screenshots. There are two more coats and 1 have to do with power to the rear sensors.

 

Is that from a $30 generic code reader from Autozone? Not to be a dick, but that isn't going to be helpful at all. You need the actual codes and fault descriptions.

 

He bought this one: The Autel AP200 is supposed to be a good option per the Disco3.co.uk forums.

 

He’s going to bring the car over tomorrow with his code reader, and I’m gonna go through his computer system via Bluetooth and see if I can get them live data off of it. He’s kind of electronically retarded so I have to give him a little extra helping hand now and then.

 

The Autel seems to be generic. Maybe the forum provided it as a "cheap alternative" or something...but in the end, there really only a few viable tools.

 

I’ll be using it tomorrow and see how I’m depth it this scanner will go.

 

The AP200 will read the codes just fine. But again, you may have to read the air suspension codes when you have an actual fault. You haven't shown any suspension fault codes so far. And codes are just one part of a diagnostic.
Review LRTime's recent video on YouTube where they go over diagnosing a suspension leak. Also, just because something was replaced recently, don't assume it's still good. You need to follow a logical diagnostic process - throwing parts at this system will likely lead to frustration, not necessarily a fix.

 

I’m only his hands and replace what he asks because he’s got back issues.

im going to use that scanner and get into monitors while running and the like.

there isn’t a leak, there’s something shutting off the new pump after fifteen or so seconds.

 

The air suspension system is relatively simple. There are only a few comments to consider when going through the process of elimination.

- hoses
- hose connections
- valve blocks
- suspension
- reservoir
- pump
- sensors
- electrical
- ECU

Most of these can be tested for malfunction with soapy water. The others will most likely need to be replaced or an ECU update or suspension calibration.

A good code reader like the Gap tool would help you diagnose this in depth.
