Which dryer do you have? Is it the tube with fins or the purest style? The purest ones you replace the cartridge it’s under a black metal cover on top held with 4 bolts. If it’s the tube with fins replace the whole thing with a purest style one.
You could take it off and make sure no gunk on the end. Blow it out with air. Make sure you have good air feed flow to the valve body. I dont know the measurements to take on it. I usually use the swap it out method.
Take it apart and investigate. If there is a short or bad connection somewhere you will get a fault. But it shouldn’t affect data communication with the diag.
Two different issues. You can jump the pressure switch on the side of the air tank with a paperclip. Could be a bad ecu. They go bad all the time. Easiest way to diag that is swap a known good one in.
You want to see around 125 at governed pressure. As the air is building, once you reach governed pressure, the governor sends an air signal to the unloader valve on the compressor to stop making pressure and also to the air dryer to purge built up moisture out the bottom expello valve. The...
The system won’t start till around 115 psi. Shouldn’t error for a certain time period from initial start. It knows to give time for the pressure to come up. You should still be able to communicate with it. Could be a bad ecu.
Adjust the air governor down to around 125 psi. If the pressure relief valve on the lower side of the air dryer keeps popping off then you are over pressure. The more you rev the engine the more the compressor makes pressure. I think the safety is set to around 160psi. If that wasnt there you...
I think you are over pressure on your air system. That may explain your other air issues. You can pull one of the tank drain cocks off and screw in a pressure gage see what’s going on.
