Default TBSS rear airbag problem

The auto inflate doesn't seem to be working. I can turn the air pump on manually and the bags will inflate, but it wont turn on automatically. My girlfriend ran over a curb thanks to an ******* running a red light, but it came down pretty hard. Got under it today to find the pass side fully inflated and the driver side completely collapsed. Is there some type of reset procedure? could both sensors have gotten knocked of of whack?

So the one is filling up correctly and the other does nothing??

Did you check the ride height sensors to see if one is out of adjustment??

Check to see if the little suspension link came disconnected from the sensor.

The compressor is not starting automatically. I can air up the bags if I turn it on manually. But the driver side was completely deflated after the curb check, the passenger side still had air, but was low.

Hmmmm

When you use the switch do both fill up normal??

I guess check the fuse's for it first...Cant really think what would have caused the auto to stop working..

I'm sure that with a TechII you could look at the sensor data and see what they're reading, but it sounds like one of the sensors is giving incorrect information
