## Air Compressor Leak Test Do Not Use

Step | Action | Value(s) | Yes | No
--- | --- | --- | --- | ---
DEFINITION: The objective of this check is to identify and repair potential leaks and/or blockages in the ALC system air path.

1. Disconnect the electrical connection to the auto level control air and the auto level control air compressor assembly and the inflated solenoid.
2. Disconnect the air line from the air dryer and connect the air line to the J 22124-B on the side opposite the toggle valve. Close the toggle valve (down position).
3. Apply service air pressure to J 22124-B service valve until the gauge reads 550 kPa (80 psi).
4. Monitor the J 22124-B gauge pressure for 1 minute.

Do the air sleeves on both shocks inflate and lift the van and does the system maintain pressure?
