yea, for the hell of it, I took the 20ft lng cable and tried to fill one of my "slightly" low tires. tried with the car running, and off in the "on" position. Nothin. I put two of my bowlin balls in the back, sat on the edge and the Load lvlin cam on when the car started, but compressor line or wires for the lil air thing was not workin.

Alright, so the Automatic Leveling Control is operating properly when called on to do so. The problem lies with the Inflator function of the air compressor then. Let me look into some schematics to tell whether I can help out.
Okay, it'* a fairly simple system. A quick check of the air inflator switch: remove connector from switch, then jumper A to B and check if compressor starts. Ignition must be on, engine may be off. This ALC is all controlled by the Rear Integration Module (RIM).

I had the exact same problem!!! I had a nail in my tire and was losing air. I first became aware when the DIC showed check tire pressure. I hooked up the hose and hit the button with the key to acc with no luck. I tried with the engine running, etc. Still it didnt work. I just got the car this June so I took it in and it turns out it was the Rear Intergration Module (N4859). It didnt cost me anything because it was under warranty. I saw the dealerships copy and the RIM was $285 CND. I am guessing yours is still under warranty too.

Yes the auto level always worked. The dealer was able to determine the problem very quickly but it took a few days to get the module in. Once they had it, it only took about an hour to install the new part. Now it works fine. The key has to be in the acc position. markwb had it right!
