Thread: AMK Compressor and "Normal Height Only" fault, and fix!

The compressors have 2 temp sensors, 1 in the head and the other in the motor. The ecu will show a 'waiting to cool' message if overheating anywhere, not a 'normal height only' message.

While we're on the topic of the suspension compressor... is it just me, or does anyone else also think the mounting setup is a bit strange? I get the rubber buffer and spring - but why only a spring on one side? It would seem to me that the compressor has a hard life banging up - with no spring to slow down the acceleration until the bolt head hits the rubber buffer!

I know what you mean - the top sound deadening I think is going to be pretty good at reducing movement as it hugs the compressor in parts like the motor and dryer. It was a tight squeeze getting it out and in.

I ended up having to give the filter a good clean, as my problem resurfaced last night. I cleaned the filter out with my workshop air compressor and quite a bit of dust came out
It is pretty easy to get the filter out if you have a body clip removal tool, or, if the clip is half broken already. The filter comes apart just by pulling the top and bottom apart, so no need to pull the airline off.
After cleaning the sponge and felt, no more issues again.

Hey Glen, just wondering if you noticed a little vibration just before this fault comes up. I'm really surprised it's happening to mine because it's been raising and lowering much faster than my old D3 did. Started getting the fault intermittently 2 days ago then just noticed the little 5 secs shake before cut out then.

Deciding whether I want to give the cleaning a shot myself or drop it back and hope it's covered under warranty.


Cheers

Mine has developed a bit more of a tantrum than the Normal Height Only fault in the last week or so. I have ordered my IID Tool with express shipping, as it now thinks it is in extended height randomly and other seemingly random issues.

As for a vibration, I do not remember one when it first started.
Yesterday mine decided that it had a major fault and dropped to the bump stops. When restarted it faulted out too quickly to try and raise it. I now have it up at normal height, but as soon as we got it it, it thought it had to lower so pulled the EAS fuses until my IID Tool arrives and I can find the cause.

I will update here as progress with this.

Russ you need to stop running over chinamen,you can never win
That is a warranty fix issue,its a vital part of the vehicles dynamics,not a play thing like a dodgy cd player or heated hair curler
