Level Control Systems
Air Supply System (LVA)
The air supply system is identified as the LVA in the diagnosis program and in the repair
manual. It is mounted in the spare tire well compartment. The components are housed in
a sound deadening carrier, through rubber bushings, to prevent operating noises from
being transmitted through the vehicle’s interior.
With the exception of the compressor relay, individual replacement parts for the air supply
system are not available. If diagnosis determines a defect in any of the other air system
components, complete replacement is necessary.
The air supply system consists of the following components:
 Compressor assembly with;
- Piston compressor
- Electric motor
- Air dryer (desiccator)
- Pressure relief solenoid valve
- Pressure maintenance valve
- Check valves
 Compressor Relay (Replaceable)
 Solenoid Valve Block (2 - two way
valves)
 Lines - including distributor

System components
The X5 Two Axle Air Suspension System (EHC2) utilizes the air supply unit from EHC
mounted in the luggage compartment, with the following components added or modified:
 Air Supply Unit (with redesigned compressor and drier)
 Pressure Accumulator
 Valve Unit
 Ride Height Sensor
 Air Suspension Strut
 Control Unit
 Switch Assembly
Air Supply Unit
As on vehicles with single axle air suspension, the air supply unit is located in the luggage
compartment under the spare wheel. As with the single axle air suspension, the auxiliary
tanks for the rear air spring bellows are located in the luggage compartment.
The air supply unit is configured similarly to the single axle air supply unit for the ride-height
control system of the E39, which is currently in production.
The functions are implemented by activating a compressor and various valves in the air
supply unit and on the air accumulator valve unit.
The maximum pressure of the air supply unit is 21 bar.
