Error while adjusting the suspension

The other day I noticed that when I try to set my air suspension I get an error message and nothing is happing with the compressor. This same message comes up if I am just using the up and down button or using one of the preset buttons. I have disconnected the battery for over an hour but that didn’t help. Anyone know what this might be? O6 Trike with a Champion kit.
No work has been done on it except a new battery but that was months and months ago.

suspension adjustment doesn't work anymore once it has been tricked, at least my Hannigan doesn't. The factory shock when it's 2 wheel is hydraulic.

It was Triked years ago and been working fine on this one up until this problem.
 
I am not familiar with the Champion kit but I would suggest a typical troubleshooting procedure. Start with any fuses in the system. If they are using the OEM hydraulic system then check relays. Also be sure the wiring hasn't come loose; connections, splices, etc. Hopefully you can isolate the problem quickly.

I have checked the 15A fuse and it is good.
 
This has come up on occasion where the Stock Honda Hydralic Electric cylinder will just quit working, the one occasion it happened to me I searched for three weeks a little bit at a time so I didn't miss something as I gradually started tearing my 2003 down til I got to the problem. When bikes are triked there are not many installers that check the fluid level in the shock, and re-installing an unchecked shock even with a super small leak will turn bad not far down the road. This is a difficult item to check as its under the body and is a main component to troubleshoot..... But it is in the Honda Shop Manuel as to the steps to take... also if you ever notice that your Hydralics are not stiffening your suspension like it did at on time or has quit moving altogether you will most likely end up at this point. It is surprising with the shock near full how well this works... just take your time..... if I was a true installer doing the best for my customer this would be a main check before reinstalling a possible wet shock that showed signs of a leak.... I don't think you can truely check this without the body off to gain access...

This video shows dis-assembly of the shock on my Roadsmith HT1800

[h=5]Adjustable Pre-Load[/h][h=5][/h]The other suspension option we now offer is an Adjustable Pre-Load system. We tie right into the GL1800's existing suspension adjustment system that's controllable right from the dash. By the push up or down of a button, this system hydraulically pre-loads the fixed springs for various loads, and allows the rider to manually adjust the ride as they see fit. We use high quality Progressive coil over shocks combined with the springs.






I would hope you find something else as I also thought electrical but I guess with very little fluid it won't activate...

I hope it's something other then having to remove the body.
