C0658 - Level Control Compressor Circuit High

Circuit Description
The compressor is switched ON and OFF via an Automatic Level Control compressor relay which is controlled by the Electronic Suspension Control Module. The control module circuitry provides a switched path to ground whenever compressor activity is required. This circuit is also continually monitored to determine if the voltage level agrees with the commanded state.

Conditions for Running the DTC
^ The ignition is on.
^ The fault is detected during three consecutive ignition cycles, or during the same ignition cycle after clearing the DTC using the scan tool.

Conditions for Setting the DTC
The DTC is set when the Electronic Suspension Control Module sees a high voltage condition at the Compressor Control circuit during a compressor ON state.

Action Taken When the DTC Sets
The compressor relay output drive is disabled for the remainder of the ignition cycle.

Conditions for Clearing the MIL/DTC
^ The scan tool can be used to clear the DTC.
^ The On-Board diagnostics CLEAR RSS CODES feature can be used to clear the DTC.
^ The DTC is saved as history when the Electronic Suspension Control Module no longer sees a high voltage in the Compressor Control circuit while the ELC compressor relay output drive is in an ON state. The DTC will clear if the fault does not return after 50 consecutive ignition cycles.

Diagnostic Aids
This fault condition is detectable only when the compressor relay output is commanded to the ON state, which occurs during the Air Replenishment Cycle (ARC) and whenever an upward correction is necessary. The control module expects to see a low voltage condition during the ON state.
Only electrical problems with the compressor relay coil circuit are flagged. The compressor motor problems and air leakage problems do not set a DTC, but the Electronic Suspension Control Module shuts the compressor relay off if there is no progress, or if excessive run times occur. Recovery is not attempted until the ignition is cycled OFF, then ON.

Test Description
The number(s) below refer to the step number(s) on the diagnostic table.
2. Listen for an audible click when the ELC Relay operates. Command both the ON and OFF states. Repeat the commands as necessary.
3. Tests for voltage at the coil side of the ELC Relay. The ELC Fuse fuse supplies power to the coil side of the ELC Fuse.
4. Verifies that the Electronic Suspension Control Module is providing ground to the ELC Relay.
5. Tests if ground is constantly being applied to the ELC Relay.
