A couple of days ago I noticed the rear end of my 06 Expo Limited seemed rather high. Turns out the air suspension bags are fully inflated and will not deflate.

I can hear the compressor run to lift the front (new bags but for some reason they don't hold air when the vehicle is shut off - as seen in the pic) when Expo is running.

How do I vent the rear bags? Do I need to reset the system? If yes, how do I reset the system? The ride is borderline dangerous with the back end bouncing like a p_ssed off mule on a bad day over even small pavement imperfections.

Hoping there is a simple short-term temporary solution. Clearly, the entire system needs to be reviewed but I just don't have the time at the moment.

Thx Guys.

There will be a rear lift sensor that you can cycle basically. Undo one end, bottom being easier, and gently extend it then compress it. Then reattach. To manually vent you can start the vehicle and do as I noted above and when you are pulling down it should open the solenoids. Be slow and it should work. May need to adjust the pivot and lower it a little. A little can go a long way.
By the way the location is near the rear axle on the right if I remember correctly.
