For approximately a year now, the EAS light would illuminate and message standard height only available after compressor cycling upon start up. Every start up. Every, every start up. One could start the vehicle, wait for compressor to cycle, turn vehicle off, immediately start it again and and the same thing would happen.
(I know you are thinking that after almost a year of this the compressor should be toast... I know, I cannot explain it either.)
Here's the twist: when it gets cold enough (low teens to single digits F degrees) it won't happen. Every thing back to normal. Off road height available, access height available, no EAS light, no worries, no kidding.
This all started after locking in access height to navigate an underground garage with a low clearance. It was intermitant at first, then became a part of the family after about 2 weeks.
The dealership pulled the codes and (wait for it)... wanted to replace the compressor. Shocking I know. I explained to them that the compressor seems to (over)work just fine. I suspect this is more likely loose and/or bad connection on a relay or sensor or somesuch.
Is it possible that 13 degrees and lower can constrict the metals in wiring and/or connections so as the "fault"signal does not get relayed the EAS control?
What do you guys (and gals I guess) think?
