Troubleshooting Rivian R1T's Air Suspension Issues

Now that I've installed the SnapPlate front license plate holder, I finally filled out the EveryAmp review. Here it is. Hope it helps others: Shipped promptly, so the license plate holder arrived well before we picked up the car. Engineered and built VERY precisely to hold the plate very close to the front bumper without scraping. Installation instructions were clear, would have benefited from one more picture showing how to find the center slots in the grille. Grille Depth Adjustment instructions were also clear; with one half-turn adjustment of three screws, the license plate holder fit PERFECTLY in place. Check the EveryAmp web site for photographs of how much their product blocks the front camera image at every setting. After reviewing the photos, I chose the center setting. I find the camera interference at that setting is trivial for me. There's a lot of competition for the front-of-R1 real estate. My understanding is that Rivian's front plate holder requires drilling a hole in a perfectly good vehicle, and can also block a small part of the camera image. Tow hook mounts take a tow hook out of commission, and can block a sensor. EveryAmp's mount is designed to protect the grille by snapping off when attacked by a car-wash brush, so you have to dismount it (relatively easy to do) and remount it before washing. I'm still happy with the EveryAmp product, which we have installed in our R1S and now R1T. Very best wishes!

Rivian R1T air suspension is a feature that offers height adjustment for a more comfortable ride. Although some issues can occur, just like I've faced with mine in the past. With the help of the Rivian maintenance team and doing my own research, I was able to know the problem and have it fixed. So this article would be a guide for those who are facing the same issue on how to identify when there's a problem and have it sorted out too.

There are some common issues associated with the air suspension feature, such as uneven ride height, air leaks, system error messages, and higher sensor malfunctions. My own issue back then was system error messages and uneven ride height.

So reaching out to the maintenance team, they gave me some troubleshooting steps to follow, such as checking my system messages, telling me to inspect air lines and connections for any leaks, checking the height sensor (I had to take my R1T to their office to get this check done), system reset, and advanced troubleshooting.

Some FAQ's can include:
Q: What causes air suspension issues?
A: Air suspension issues can be caused by wear, corrosion of air lines or damage, compressor failure, or height sensor malfunction.

Q: How do I reset the air suspension system?
A: Restart the vehicle, consult the owner's manual, or reach out to the Rivian maintenance team.

Q: Can I repair air suspension issues myself?
A: Basic troubleshooting Yes, advanced repairs may require professional assistance.

This is just a basic guide on how to check and identify air suspension issues if you're experiencing any and how to get it fixed for a better experience.
