    Does anyone know what this means? it all started after I had to stop before the RR tracks (hazmat load) on a sheet of ice. I was not gaining any traction afterwards given it all happened on 3” of ice covered road just outside Olivia, Minnesota US-71.
    I have a Volvo 680 and the company shop told me I can’t drive nor get the problem fixed soon. Glad there’s a couple trucks stops I was able to crawl to.
    In other words: Am I screwed?

    looks like the tractor air bags have a problem.

    are they inflating?

    I don’t have any leaks, pressure shows 120 psi on the dash which is normal. I’m trying to look what the problem is but nothing visible.
    Given Volvo’s reputation: is this an electrical problem?

    so, your air bags aren't flat and are fully inflated?

    I'm thinking maybe airline froze to bags or the inflation valve froze.

    If the air bags look OK I would shut it off ,turn the master switch off,then back on.See if the fault would clear.Maybe dump the suspension and air it up again.
