Hi,

My 98 Mark VIII has started completely deflating it's airbag suspension
overnight. The compressor is able to reinflate them when I start the
car, but I'd like to get it fixed. I have checked for leaks in the
bags using soapy water and don't seem to have any. Also, they just
recently stayed inflated for 3 days before the problem resumed. My dad
hooked a scanner up to the car, but it didn't return any codes. Could
this be a problem with a computer, sensor, or relay? Or maybe a valve
somewhere?

Any help would be appreciated.

Thanks,
Jim Walsh

The air suspension test is separate from the OBD-II drivetrain one. The
test port is in front of the RH strut tower in the engine compartment.

Hi Jim,

I had to replace two bags on my '95 Crown Vic - I found Arnott Industries
very helpful.
