In this video I'm showing how to fix failed air suspension on Tesla Model S.

I think that is a brilliant diagnosis! Great thinking on your part.

You should also do the AC condensation tube. Right now it is dripping onto the battery pack, That has caused moisture getting inside the pack.

If you have that much water in the system it would be a good idea to look @ the gel crystals in the pump ( dry them out ) as it will “ wash”the grease from the pump bigend bearing ( very noisy before it gives up) 😖. The bearing can be replaced but it’s not easy

So what was the estimate they told you to fix it? It seems like alot of work and i for that icon message and i don't feel the AC anymore working.... but my air suspension is working normal tho.

Hey Paul. Love the video. Can you post the 'parts' that you used to fix your S? Looking for links to order similar parts. :) Thanks.

Well, you can go to Tesla and give them that relay number, it's like $6. For a air line fix it's a 1/4" brass coupling for air lines, you can buy at places like fleet pride, it's like $4

I'm in a similar situation, I have a 2012 Telsa Model S P85 lowrider. I swapped the relays, and I'm about to see if I'm getting electricity to the pump. Before you replaced the top fitting, do you have any idea of a "normal" pressure in the top reservoir?

@pablopicasso8502 8 ай бұрын

Don't remember. Don't have that fitting there anymore, so can't check the pressure. Can anyone that still has the Schrader fitting check on the pressure? I think I read somewhere that it was at 75psi, but I could be wrong

@rootkitxx 5 ай бұрын

Pressure really don't matter, as long as it's raising up and suspension works good and no error logo, you are fine.

Where did you get the little fitting you replaced the original with?

@rootkitxx Ай бұрын

Actually you can get one from Tesla, but this is brass airline fitting that is used on trucks

Hello. Maybe you can help. I have a Tesla S P85 from 2013. A few days ago, when I get to the car the front suspension is all down. The car hits on every bump, so it's stop till that day. I already change the compressor, because I few days earlier, I ear the compressor working non stop for a almost a hour. I thougt it's bronken. How ever, after change it, no sound I get from the compressor. I receive the solenoid yesterday to change, but I do not now if it's gone work. Now after two weeks, I have all the suspensions down. Do you have any clue? Change the tubes to the suspension? When it hapens, only the from suspension is down. The yellow light first apears, then a red one comes.

Sounds like you have a leak somewhere if compressor works non stop

Hello, my P85D gets the red light “active air suspension automatic self leveling disable” mostly when it becomes freezing outside. I don’t know how to fix it, I think it’s ice somewhere in the system but is there anyway solution to this?

@upinderjitsidhu9066 8 ай бұрын

supposed to be 200psi using nitrogen to represurize it

Rewatch the video. Water would be in the distribution block

@rootkitxx 5 ай бұрын

You will need to warm it up to the point that water in suspension control block thaws. You can take the block off too and make sure to blow all the water out of it, preferably with 100% alcohol flush after (alcohol absorbs water and dries up quick) There is a practice of using alcohol in air lines on big trucks. You may drop some alcohol down the line to the distribution block so it goes through it, once it's unfrozen. Don't add too much, it will collect at the air tank, absorb water and slush around there - you don't want that. Just enough to clear all that water out of there and "dry the lines"

Hi, Great video, thanks for sharing. I hope you don’t mind me asking for advice. I have a Tesla Model S 2017 Electric Motor 100D AWD. The suspension system is flat. There is an error showing up, as follows: Air suspension compressor disabled - your vehicle will not rise. There is a 40A fuse that controls the air compressor (it's in a slightly different position than the one in your video). This has blown and when I replace it with a new 40A fuse, it blows immediately. Am I right in concluding that the air compressor itself is faulty? If this is the case, and I purchase a second-hand one, how compatible are these compressors or will I have to purchase from a 2017 model? Thanks in advance, and I look forward to hearing back from you With kind regards, Seamus

Hi, did you find the solution? I have the same symptoms on Model X

@seamusrispin1967 14 күн бұрын

@@Mitrofanovalex Hi, Sorry about the delay in replying to you. There is a 40A fuse on the fuse-box and if it's blown, replace it. If it blows again, there is a 95% chance it's your Air Compressor Unit for your suspensions. In my case, I purchased a second-hand one and changed it in about 1 hour. If you are doing it yourself, remove the compression unit and only buy the same part number as there are a few different types. I hope this helps, Seamus

@@seamusrispin1967 Thanks for your reply. Yes, in my case the problem was in the compressor, but I was able to fix it myself. The magnet in the engine came off, I glued it on and everything works fine. Removing and installing the compressor is not at all difficult. The main problem is moisture; you need to change the granules in the dehumidifier often.

They should sell the s without the air suspension. I wouldn't want to deal with all that lol.

I have seen some with coil suspension

Do you know if X has about same system. Tesla wants to charge $5800 to fix. Completely out of their minds)

Tesla didn’t even offer me to try calibrating it to see if air nitrogen would hold!!!!!

@rootkitxx 5 ай бұрын

That's what I would do to refill it with nitrogen. - Lower the suspension down all the way - Enable "jack mode" (suspension leveling disabled) - Put a vacuum pump on the system to get slight vacuum in there (connect to Schrader valve I showed you removed) - Turn off pump. - Then, while under vacuum, connect your nitrogen tank to vacuum pump (purge the hose prior) and fillthe tank up to pressure you need. Similar to refilling a/c system.
