Trailhunter Compressor issue

[Independence Overland]

It worked previously. I went to air up the tires and suddenly the deflate valve was stuck open. So as the compressor is trying to inflate my tires, a valve is apparently stuck open allowing air to dump at the same time.

Right before a weeklong trip of course.

I took out the compressor air filter out to check it even though I was pretty sure that wasn’t it, and it’s not.

This isn’t a known issue, Toyotas guys haven’t seen it before. I’ve got an appointment for the warranty fix but it will be several weeks, and then I’m sure the parts will take a while.

I will post the fix here, and if anyone else does happens to run into this and finds a fix, please post below!

Is it throwing any code/codes on the display? Also, you did indeed remove the compressor to inspect the filter,, all lines and fittings snug? No holes in any hoses ?
I busted out my compressor manual in hopes to help and not seeing much.. if it’s internal you could just get a lil old school on it and tap on it with a ball-peen hammer

Aren't they a twin ARB?

No the compressor is made by a company called NSV they have been making oem fitment style compressors for Toyotas for awhile.

It’s attached to the bedside in between the rear drivers side fender and the bedside.
