The air suspension control module (ASCM) controls the compressor relay and exhaust valve ground to maintain the height of the vehicle based on voltage signals from the rear height sensors. The ASCM raises and lowers the vehicle in order to keep the vehicle level.
Battery voltage is between 9-16 volts.
• | The exhaust valve control circuit is shorted to voltage, ground, or open when solenoid activation is commanded ON for 2.5 seconds. |
• | The exhaust valve B+ circuit is shorted to ground or open when solenoid activation is commanded ON for 5 seconds. |
• | Any component voltage supply circuit from the air suspension control module that is shorted to ground. |
• | Any suspension position sensor low reference circuit that is shorted to voltage. |
• | The air suspension system will be inoperative. |
• | The DIC will display SERVICE SUSPENSION SYS. |
• | DTC C0660 will change from a current DTC to a history DTC on the next ignition cycle. |
• | DTC C0660 will be cleared from history after 50 ignition cycles. |
Air Suspension Description and Operation
Control Module References for scan tool information
Ignition ON, command the air suspension exhaust solenoid valve ON and OFF with the scan tool. The exhaust solenoid valve should turn ON and OFF with each command.
⇒ | If the test lamp does not illuminate, test for the following conditions listed below. If all circuits test normal, replace the air suspension compressor assembly. |
• | An open, short to ground, or short to voltage in the air suspension exhaust valve solenoid control circuit |
• | A short to ground in one of the B+ or 5-volt reference circuits from the air suspension control module |
• | A short to voltage in one of the position sensor low reference circuits |
⇒ | If the test lamp is always ON, test the control circuit for a short to ground. If the circuit tests normal, replace the air suspension control module. |
⇒ | If the test lamp is always OFF, test the control circuit for a short to voltage or an open/high resistance. If the circuit tests normal, replace the air suspension control module. |
Perform the Diagnostic Repair Verification after completing the diagnostic procedure.
