Thread: SLS - Two Warnings in two Days.

This is usually the case when the SLS compressor has timed out. i.e a leaking airbag/s causes the compressor to operate for too long.

It will eventually lead to compressor failure.
Airbags should be tested at full inflation i.e. off road height and sprayed with soapy water, a squeeze/ trigger bottle is easiest.
Ensure a few minutes passes and carefully check the area around where the bag folds. Leaks will quickly show up as bubbles.

There is tonnes of info in the "good oil" onn the subject.
Replacing bags are easy to do in about 60 mins for the average DIY.
Easy to supply in Australia, yet suppliers in the UK are quick and cheap compared to Aust.
Do not buy Arnott brand bags.

cheers

Fix it now Paul,,

Compressor $$'s =

Thanks for the advice. I will be on it today.

Unless you are buying local,,
it will take a week from anywhere overseas.
buy some 4mm airline and two push-in connectors and two schrader valves and pull the SLS fuse.

I have a couple of good used bags to get you by till your new ones are avail if you need.

changing them does not take long

I,m in Coogee

I got a good new set from flea bay australia a few months back. Pretty reasonable price too I thought. He has got more on there at the moment.

And ditto to what others have said, changing the airbags is pretty easy and well worth saving your compressor from over use and possible failure!

Got straight on to it today and tried twice to detect a air leak and had no luck. That was after fully inflating the bags to off road height.

Went for another drive and no alarms. Bugger.

Could it be a sensor? electronic problem?

Ideas......

99 % of the time its a leak somewhere.

and 99% of the leaks are from the bags.
