I have a 2005 4x4 Expy that I purchased used this summer. I currently have aprox. 185K miles on it. This is the first winter I've owned it. Being in Houston, we don't get much freezing weather. However, whenever we would get freezing weather, the air suspension would not go to ride height despite the compressor running.
After reviewing the videos found on this page, I think I found the solution. I plan on first replacing the air dryer.
Last night, I had another issue pop up. The compressor would not turn on. I hooked it up to my OBDII scanner in an attempt to see if the enhanced ABS scan would pull anything. I couldn't get anything as I think I need a more advanced scan tool. I decided to turn the vehicle off, and on again, then it worked and it raised up to standard height. Also, having previously watched the video has helped as I believe this was one of the classic symptoms for a compressor solenoid failure. I'll replace the solenoid and the connector with the associated pigtail.

I am also considering the age of the vehicle and that air strut replacements or a conversion are in my future. Being the ride is so great with the current setup, and that I don't want to deal with a continual computer suspension warning, I'll most likely keep the air system.
