2017 GLS63 Air Suspension Issue

I posted this in the non amg forum also but figured it would be better here.





Today I was setting up to do the rear brake pads. To do so it says to raise the truck via the suspension button on the center dash. I did that and everything seemed fine and then all of a sudden I heard a loud PSSHHHHH! Like a truck with air brakes just pulled up.

obviously something went wrong. Weird part, no codes, check engine light etc. it is sitting weird, particularly low at passenger rear and high on driver front. I drove it hoping it would settle but didn’t. Also when driving it didn’t seem like a corner lost an airbag.

As I was fiddling with the suspension raise button I would get a message on the dash that said “compressor cooling”. I suppose that’s the air compressor for the suspension. Is that the problem?

Probably leaking airbags and maybe a bad pump now too. Take it in and have it scanned.

interesting that my car never dropped in height before today even if sitting for a week or so.

Air is escaping. Need to find the reason and correct it.

Rear passenger bag blew. Doing both with oem parts. Hopefully the compressor survived.

No issues with the compressor.

Clarification

When you refer to airbags on the suspension what exactly is this part? Can someone post a link at rockauto or part number please?
