Trailblazer Air Suspension Failure
Summary of the thread
The 2021 Chevrolet Trailblazer experienced air suspension failure, causing the vehicle to lean and display error messages. Initial diagnostics pointed to the air suspension compressor as the potential issue. A common cause for such problems is a defective cable or plug connection. Upon further inspection, a corroded connector on the compressor was identified and replaced, resolving the issue.

Thanks for the quick response! I did a quick visual inspection, but didn't dive too deep. Where exactly should I be looking for these connections? Any specific plugs or areas prone to corrosion?

Given that you are seeing multiple symptoms including error messages and the vehicle leaning, I would advise against attempting to diagnose the problem yourself if you are not comfortable with automotive electrical systems. A faulty connection is the most probable cause, but it could also be a defective level sensor or the air compressor itself. I'd take it to a reputable workshop before you potentially cause further damage to the suspension system.

Appreciate the advice! You were spot on. Turns out it was a corroded connector on the compressor. Workshop cleaned it up and replaced the connector. Cost me 95€ and I'm back on the road!

I had a similar issue with my Trailblazer. Symptoms sound identical: the leaning, the error messages. Air suspension malfunction can cause the load leveling system to fail, which uses air struts to maintain the vehicle's height. A defective cable or plug connection of the component is a common cause. Have you checked the wiring and connections to the compressor itself?
