Solenoid Valve - Functional: Removal
WARNING:
Do not remove an air spring under any circumstances when there is pressure in the air spring. Do not remove any components supporting an air spring without either exhausting the air or providing support for the air spring to prevent vehicle damage or personal injury.
WARNING:
Disconnecting an air line that is connected to the air compressor can cause personal injury or damage to components as high pressure air is vented uncontrolled.
- Remove the air spring. For additional information, refer to AIR SPRING .
- Release the air pressure.
- Rotate the air spring solenoid valve counterclockwise to the first stop.
- Pull the air spring solenoid valve out to the stop.
- Rotate the air spring solenoid valve counterclockwise to the second stop and remove from the solenoid valve housing.
CAUTION:
Remove any dirt or other debris from the air spring assembly before removing the air spring solenoid.
NOTE:
The air spring solenoid valve has a two stage solenoid valve pressure relief fitting similar to a radiator cap.
WARNING:
Do not fully release solenoid air valve until air is completely bled from the air spring to prevent injury.
