Vanette Air Suspension Fault

My 2001 Nissan Vanette (gasoline engine) with 98807 km won't lift and is leaning. Air suspension error triggers a warning light and speedometer message, misaligning the low beams. I suspect a faulty cable or plug to the compressor. Any insights?

A 2001 Nissan Vanette with air suspension issues is experiencing a failure to lift and leaning, accompanied by a warning light and speedometer message. The suspected cause is a faulty cable or plug to the compressor. After ruling out air leaks and considering wiring faults, the problem was identified as a corroded connector to the compressor, which was cleaned to restore functionality.

Sounds familiar. Air suspension, right? Did you check for air leaks around the compressor or lines? Suspension malfunction can cause load leveling and compressor failure. Is the error code specific?

I visually inspected the lines, but no obvious leaks. The error isn't descriptive, just indicates a general compressor malfunction. I'm leaning toward a wiring fault, or perhaps the compressor itself. Was your issue also intermittent, and can you elaborate?

Mine wasn't intermittent; the compressor eventually gave up entirely. If the error is vague and you've ruled out leaks, a defective cable is likely. Given parts costs, visit a workshop and check your wiring before condemning the compressor. It's almost certain the compressor is broken though.

Thanks. It was a corroded connector to the compressor, as suspected. Cleaned it, and the system works again. Total cost was 95€ for the mechanic to take a look.
