Great video. Currently experiencing same problem, car is not as low as yours. But checked fuses, air bags are okay. No dash warning, can’t hear compressor but when diagnostics are plugged in, it said air control module fault. So ordered a second hand one but checked the current one, can’t see no damage like yours, or water damage..hopefully this is the fix?
@@estevansalazar2418 thank you for the positive comment I really appreciate it. When you say paperwork are you talking about the fuse diagram. If so if you go to my descriptions of this video all the way at the bottom it says helpful download you should see fuse diagram there and you can download it
Hey great video. I’m having problems with the rear driver side air bag deflated and the air compressor is not turning on. Checked all the fuse and none were blown, although I have 00D704 code through Carly app which is EHC, K-CAN: line fault. Do you happen to have any idea what could it be? Also tried unplugging the 107 fuse but air compressor is not turning on. Thanks in advance
I might do a video on this, currently got an F02 sagging at the back but I'll add some info on how the system works and what to do depending on your particular problem. You need to know your situation before getting the spanners out... If it's only one side sagging then that suggests the compressor is good because at least one side is inflated correctly - to test it use INPA/ISTA to lower/raise each corner or if you don't have it, load the car with the engine off ie get as many people in as you can, you'll see the back squat down on both sides. When you start the engine, the compressor should kick in and you should see it rise. If nothing happens then the compressor is where to start looking, does it get power, any leaks from it, does it produce enough pressure etc...? If only one side rises then your problem is on one side - airbag, airline or sensor would need checking. Under normal conditions, your sensor on the low side might be telling the computer it's at the correct height when it isn't so doesn't call for any air from the compressor. The load test above will help establish that. The sensors are mounted on a fairly flimsy bracket and could be bent or the link arms are flipped over and it's misreading or it could just be bad and sending duff data. If it's just a leaky bag, the low side should be calling for air and the compressor should be buzzing away trying to pump it up, usually a leaky bag will inflate ok and deflate overnight. If both sides are low suddenly then that suggests compressor fault, lack of power (fuses, relays etc) or it's got a leak at the relief valve or the piston is just worn. Hope you got it sorted, will be interesting to know if one of my theories covered it !
I really appreciate this video after I watch a few videos this one right here; have everything I need to know
No problem, I'm glad that my video could help you.

thanks for the info.
No problem, I'm glad that my video could help you
Any video for the f15 x5 please.. same issue...
I have an X5 F15 2017. How many fuses power the air compressor on this vehicle?
I subscribed immediately after watching your incredibly well explained troubleshooting procedure. Thank you
Thank you I appreciate the subscriptions. I'm glad that my video could help you.
@JOATD Thank you so much for this amazing video. You're a life🎉 saver. Do you know where I can get that paperwork so I can print out?

I ordered the cable and a CD that states in INPA so we will see lol I hope I can get INPA.
It's a lot of places online where you can get it the problem is installing it correctly
@@JOATD Have you seen ProTool? It seems as good but I just found it and need to research it more.
