For 1990-2009 cars only
  1. Check condition of circuit breaker #9. If circuit breaker is open, locate and repair cause of overload. Replace circuit breaker if necessary.
  2. Check that G404 is clean and tight.
  3. The air brake dryer and moisture ejector heater are both thermostatically controlled. The thermostat will activate the heating element when the valve body reaches a temperature of approximately 7°C (45°F). The heating elements will deactivate when the valve body is warmed to approximately 26°C (85°F).
  4. If either the air brake dryer or the moisture ejector heater remain engaged above 26°C (85°F), replace the malfunctioning component.
  5. Check for a broken or partially broken wire inside the insulation which could cause system malfunction but prove good in a continuity/voltage check with the system disconnected. These circuits may be intermittent or resistive when loaded, and if possible, should be checked by monitoring for a voltage drop with the system operational (under load).
  6. Check for proper installation of aftermarket electronic equipment which may affect the integrity of other systems. Refer to Checking Aftermarket Accessories .
