09 ls460 awd air shock compressor reset?

Hi. I replaced my front driverside air shock and now the suspension is not leveling I beleive because the compressor is not turning on. Is there a way to reset the compressor? Thank you.

You probably disturbed the height sensor.In the same time, make sure that you connected the strut wire harness properly.

@Anfanger Thank you for the reply. I have checked the connection of the strut wire harness. Can I reset the height sensor? Would disconnecting the battery help?

When, I replaced my struts, I did not need to reset anything. But yes, you can reset all ECUs and sensors by disconnecting the battery for a while.

Did you check the sensor for any damage or misalignment? Check the sensor harness. Compare it to the right side if there is any difference aside from being a different side.

Were you able to verify the air compressor is cycling on, or if any of the shocks are raising/lowering? You may want to try turning the Height High switch on and listening at the front passenger side for the compressor. Also wait a few minutes to see if the car raises. If there is no issue with the actuator/connection, it might be necessary to do this a few times and observe the results. Good luck!
