Pilot air suspension failure
Summary of the thread
The 2008 Honda Pilot is experiencing air suspension failure, indicated by the vehicle not lifting and leaning to one side, accompanied by a dashboard error message and warning light. The issue may be related to a faulty suspension compressor, potentially due to a bad connection. It is suggested to first inspect and possibly replace the connector, as a similar issue in another vehicle was resolved this way temporarily. If the problem persists, the compressor itself might need replacement, and professional workshop assistance is recommended.

Interesting! So, on your Volvo, was it a pain to get to the connector? And did replacing the connector fix everything, or were there other issues?

Yeah, getting to it was a bit awkward, had to wiggle around some stuff, but not too bad. Replacing the connector fixed it… for a while! Then the compressor itself gave out. If you're getting electrical errors, check those connections first, but don't be surprised if the compressor is on its way out. I would go to the workshop!

Thanks! I appreciate the insight. I'll check the connections first, and if that doesn't do the trick, I guess it's off to the workshop I go. At least a new connector will only be about 95€.

Whoa, that sounds rough! My old Volvo XC70 had a similar problem a while back. The back end just sagged, like it was super tired. Turned out to be a corroded connector on the air compressor. It's like when your phone charger gets loose and stops working properly!
