Air suspension service required

Sphinx2000 · Mar 17th, 2019, 15:13

Hi.

I hand washed the car today, not used a pressure washer or anything. A short while later i started the car and started to drive off. I heard a noise from the compressor and it came up suspension service required on the dash not long after.

Is there anyway to reset this without going to the dealer?

Air suspension is not working when I select different drive modes either.

Thanks

Can't seem to find the fuse box. Apparently it's in the boot but I can't seem to find it for the air compressor.

It’s a known fault, if fuse has blown it means a new compressor, happened to mine. It also needs a special fuse. The car will also need recovering to dealer, do not drive it.

You have to dissaembly half a car to reach it. Changing that fuse in my case took almost half an hour to an expert technician with proper tools.

Incredible how Volvo may locate a fuse box in a so much intrincate position.

I don't find the location of the fuse box in the boot problematic, it's easy to reach.
But that is in the XC90, perhaps different in the XC60? (although the manual of both
models show the same picture of the fuse boxes in the boot).
If the car has a tow bar, it is possible to take the fuse of the tow bar control module (fuse 11) and
replace the blown fuse of the air compressor (fuse 3). Of course you may end up with 2 blown fuses...

Thanks to all that have responded so far. The fuse box must be behind the trim panel in the rear quarter, which looks like a faf to remove. It's a shame it not easy to get to check a fuse.

I can hear the click when I press the up/down button in the boot (relay maybe) but no response from the compressor.

Car is booked in for Wednesday to have a look at the dealer will report back here once fixed.

Car required new compressor and fuse. All replaced under warranty.

Although dealer was unable to explain why it failed.

Exactly the same thing happened to my V90 2018 T8:
I did drive it carefully to the Volvo dealer after a Volvo technician had been out to look at it. Compressor and fuse all replaced under warranty:
The Technician did try a reset before i took it to the dealer, which basically involved disconnecting the Battery for 10 minutes and then reconnecting again. I didn't see whether he needed to do anything special after reconnecting the Battery (enter codes etc).
Volvo dealer did say they have done a few recently so maybe a batch issue or might be a design error.

What happens when it blows again out of warranty, sounds expensive?

A traditional setup is absolutely fine for me.
