IntelliSYNC® – Frequently Asked Questions
What do the indicator lights on the IntelliSYNC® dashboard panel mean?
Green Light (Wheels Aligned) – Illuminates when the front wheels are positioned straight (i.e. the steering wheel is within 3/4-1 turn from center position). This indicates to the driver that the vehicle is safe to kneel. When not illuminated, vehicle kneeling is prohibited. Also, if the vehicle is currently kneeled, and the driver turns the wheels out of alignment, the vehicle will automatically raise (regardless of the switch input condition). However, if the switch is still active to kneel, once the wheels are re-aligned, the vehicle will kneel once again.
Yellow Light – (Compressor Check) – Illuminates when the following occurs: the compressor pressure switch is closed (telling the system to engage the compressor clutch and fill the system with air) but one of two factors is preventing that. 1) The engine RPM is greater than 2500. 2) The internal timer on the InPower module has determined that the compressor has been consistently running for 6 minutes which initiated a 4 minute dwell time before the compressor will engage again. Therefore, the yellow light will only illuminate when the compressor is supposed to be running but there is a system safety interlock preventing it. The Yellow Light also flashes briefly when the compressor initially activates at each cycle.
Red Light (Low Air) – Illuminates when one of the following occurs: the system pressure switch (located on the dry air tank) indicates that the system pressure is below 80 psig, the front passenger side proximity switch on the associated leveling valve indicates that vehicle is not yet at drive away/ride height, or the front driver side proximity switch on the associated leveling valve indicates that vehicle is not yet at
drive away/ride height. When any one of these instances occur, the red Light will illuminate and the vehicle will be interlocked to not disengage from park. Red light may also flash briefly when driving over bumpy road conditions or uneven terrain. This is due to instantaneous/abrupt lowering of the suspension in those conditions. This will not have an impact on any vehicle interlocks, so long as the light does not remain ON. Audible Buzzer – Sounds an audible alarm whenever the system pressure switch (located on the dry air tank) indicates that system pressure is below 80 psig.
Note pertaining to all lights – All lights will flash ON when the ignition is initially turned ON.
Is it normal for the engine driven compressor to run intermittently?
Yes, this is perfectly normal. The compressor only runs when needed and will shut itself off when the air tanks reach their optimum pressure.
What is the recommended ride height for an IntelliSYNC® equipped, Ford E-Series vehicle and how is it measured?
Ride height is measured approximately 4” from the bottom of the frame rail to the top, center of the rear axle, and approximately 5” from front suspension top mount plate to front suspension bottom mount plate. Refer to the suspension manufacturer?s manual for proper ride height measurement and setting procedures.
What is the best method for searching out a leak in a damaged air line?
Should something happen to the vehicle and a leak is suspected, the traditional Soap Spray Test is best. Spray all air line connections and inspect for bubbling. Also verify that all air fasteners are properly tightened.
