CMAX Air Suspension Problem
Summary of the thread
A 2010 Ford CMAX is experiencing issues with its air suspension, causing it not to lift and lean to one side, accompanied by an error message and a bumpy ride. The problem may be linked to a faulty air suspension bellows valve, which controls airflow into the air springs. A similar issue was resolved by replacing the defective valve, and it is recommended to have a mechanic inspect the system to prevent further damage.

Thanks! Could you tell me what caused the issue in your case? Was it the air suspension bellows valve, and how did you fix it?

Yeah, in my case, it was the air suspension airbag valve, or 'air spring'. I tried looking myself, but without the right tools, it was hard to diagnose. I had to take it to a workshop. They confirmed the defective valve and replaced it. If you aren't familiar with the pneumatic suspension system, I'd recommend having a mechanic take a look. It could prevent further damage.

Thanks for the help. I'll have a workshop inspect the air suspension system. I got a quote of 590€ to replace the valve. Thanks again!

Hey! I had a similar problem with my CMAX. What you're describing sounds like a suspension issue. Air suspension can be tricky. An 'air suspension bellows valve' controls the airflow into the air springs, which act like shock absorbers and keep your ride smooth. If the valve is faulty, it could explain why your car can't lift and is leaning. I would check the air spring, since yours might be leaking.
