Air Compressor
REMOVAL1. Raise the vehicle and suitably support.
IMPORTANT: Before disconnecting any air hose or air tube, clean the components and the surrounding area to prevent dirt and other foreign material from entering the Electronic Level Control (ELC) system.
2. Disconnect the air tube from the pressure limiter valve.
3. Remove the air tube from the air compressor bracket.
4. Remove the intake air filter from the vehicle.
5. Remove the height sensor harness from the air compressor bracket.
6. Disconnect the vehicle harness connector from the air compressor connector.
7. Remove the four nuts and the air compressor assembly from the vehicle.
8. Disconnect the pressure limiter valve air tube from the air dryer.
9. Remove the pressure limiter valve from the clip.
10. Remove the air compressor harness from the air compressor bracket.
11. Remove three bolts and the air compressor assembly from the bracket.
12. Remove the air dryer from the air compressor.
13. Remove the air hose from the air compressor at two places.
14. Remove the two screws and the two brackets from the air compressor.
INSTALLATION
NOTICE: Use the correct fastener in the correct location. Replacement fasteners must be the correct part number for that application. Fasteners requiring the use of thread locking compound or sealant are identified in the service procedure. Do not use paints, lubricants, or corrosion inhibitors on fasteners or fastener joint surfaces unless specified. These coatings affect fastener torque and joint clamping force and may damage the fastener. Use the correct tightening sequence and specifications when installing fasteners in order to avoid damage to parts and systems.
1. Install the two brackets on the air compressor with two screws.
^ Tighten two screws to 7 Nm (62 inch lbs).
2. Connect the air hose to the air compressor at two places.
3. Install the air dryer on the air compressor.

These coatings affect fastener torque and joint clamping force and may damage the fastener. Use the correct tightening sequence and specifications when installing fasteners in order to avoid damage to parts and systems.
4. Install the air compressor assembly onto the bracket with three bolts.
^ Tighten three bolts to 4 Nm (36 inch lbs).
5. Connect the pressure limiter valve air tube to the air dryer.
6. Install the pressure limiter valve in the clip.
7. Install the air compressor harness onto the air compressor bracket.

8. Install the air compressor assembly on the vehicle with four nuts.
^ Tighten four nuts to 10 Nm (88 inch lbs).
9. Connect the vehicle harness connector to the air compressor connector.
10. Install the height sensor harness on the air compressor bracket.
11. Install the intake air filter on the vehicle.
12. Connect the air tube to the pressure limiter valve.
13. Install the air tube on the air compressor bracket.
IMPORTANT: Before driving the vehicle, turn the ignition on and wait approximately 45 seconds. This will permit the ELC system to execute the ARC, ensuring that the air adjustable struts are filled with residual pressure.
14. Lower the vehicle.
