Operation of the 1984 -1987 Lincoln Continental Suspension
Air suspension operation is maintained by the addition or removal of air to or from the air spring, resulting in a predetermined front and rear air suspension ride height. This predetermined height is known as the vehicle trim height. The trim height is controlled by three height sensors, two of which are located at the front wheeels and a third at the rear air suspension. The height sensors are attached to the body and will lengthen or shorten, depending on the amount of air suspension travel.
As weight is added to the vehicle, the body settles, shortening the height sensors. The height sensors signal the control module, which then activates the air compressor through a relay and signals the air spring solenoids to open. As the body rises, the height sensor lengthens. When the trim height is reached, the air compressor and solenoid valves are de-activated by the control module. The control module then opens the air compressor vent solenoid and the air spring solenoid valves.
