The air suspension compressor is a crucial component of the air suspension system. It takes in and compresses outside air and utilizes the air to inflate the springs that raise the chassis.

A relay that is controlled by the ECU can turn it on and off. The compressed air goes through the valve block which is then sent to the airlines and into the air springs.
