C0696

Circuit Description
The Electronic Suspension Control Module provides power (a regulated 5 volts) to each of the Electronic Suspension Control position sensors. The control module also monitors this voltage supply for a fault condition which prevents proper regulation.

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 measures a position sensor supply voltage is outside the valid range of 3.75 to 5.625 volts.

Action Taken When the DTC Sets
^ The Electronic Suspension Control system will enter the Speed Dependent damping mode.
^ Both Left and Right Normal Force Signal outputs will be set to the default output states.
^ The SERVICE RIDE CONTROL message will be displayed.

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 position sensor supply voltage outside the valid range of 3.75 to 5.625 volts. The DTC will clear if the fault does not return after 50 consecutive ignition cycles.

Diagnostic Aids
Refer to Testing for Intermittent and Poor Connections in Wiring Systems.

Test Description
The number(s) below refer to the step number(s) on the diagnostic table.
2. Determines if the fault is due to a short to ground.
3. Determines if the fault is due to a short to voltage.
4. Tests for a short to ground in the position sensor supply circuits.
5. Tests for a short between the position sensor supply and ground circuits.
6. Tests for a short to voltage in the position sensor supply circuits.
