What are the reasons for Mercedes-Benz air suspension failure?
1 Answers
Mercedes-Benz air suspension failures are generally caused by leaks in the air suspension system or its connecting components; various sensor failures such as body height sensors and acceleration sensors; damaged pneumatic shock absorbers; air compressor malfunctions; or faults in the air suspension control unit/system power circuit. Working principle of air suspension: The air suspension system mainly consists of a control computer, air compressor, pressure storage tank, pneumatic front and rear shock absorbers, and an air distributor. Functions of air suspension: Body level control, body level adjustment, and ADS function work by using the air compressor to generate compressed air, which is then delivered to the air chambers of the springs and shock absorbers. Height sensors are installed near both front and rear wheels. Based on the output signals from these height sensors, the vehicle's computer determines changes in body height and controls the compressor and exhaust valves to compress or extend the springs, thereby achieving shock absorption effects and altering the vehicle's height.
