This procedure addresses a non-existent component. The 2012-2017 Toyota Camry with the 2.5L I4 engine does not come equipped with air suspension and therefore has no air suspension compressor.

Warnings

⚠️The 2012-2017 Toyota Camry with 2.5L I4 engine uses conventional coil spring suspension, not air suspension. There is no air suspension compressor to replace on this vehicle.

⚠If you are experiencing suspension issues, diagnose the actual problem with the strut assemblies, springs, or shock absorbers that are actually installed on this vehicle.

ℹ️Air suspension was never offered as a factory option on any 2012-2017 Camry model. If air suspension components are present, they are aftermarket installations requiring manufacturer-specific service procedures.

Preparation

Verify that your vehicle actually has air suspension installed (it should not from factory)
If aftermarket air suspension is present, consult the aftermarket manufacturer's installation and service documentation
For factory suspension service, refer to strut replacement or shock absorber replacement procedures instead

Procedure

1
Verify Suspension Type
Inspect the vehicle's suspension system to confirm component type. Factory 2012-2017 Camry models use MacPherson strut front suspension with coil springs and a dual-link strut rear suspension with coil springs. No air suspension compressor, air lines, or air springs should be present unless aftermarket modifications have been made.
2
Identify Actual Service Need
If you are attempting to address a suspension concern, diagnose the actual issue. Common suspension repairs on this vehicle include strut assembly replacement, coil spring replacement, control arm bushing service, or sway bar link replacement. Refer to the appropriate repair procedure for the actual component requiring service.

Reassembly

This procedure does not apply to the specified vehicle configuration
For legitimate suspension repairs on this vehicle, consult the correct procedure for the actual components installed

Verification

Confirm vehicle identification and suspension type before ordering parts or beginning work
If aftermarket air suspension is installed, contact the aftermarket system manufacturer for proper service procedures and parts
