Abstract

A method of diagnosing component failure that may occur in a vehicular air suspension system utilizing height sensors and air springs mounted between sprung and unsprung components of the vehicle, as well as air flow control valves, and an air compressor. The method sequences the various components through their intended functional capabilities and provides a mechanism for indicating faults in individual components.
