Diagnostic Fault Information

Perform the Diagnostic System Check - Vehicle prior to using this diagnostic procedure. Initial Inspection and Diagnostic Overview

Circuit/System Description

The electronic suspension control module (ESC) module commands variable levels of pulse width modulated current to each damper in response to rough road, or abrupt steering maneuver driving conditions. The ESC module continuously compares each dampers command state with the state of their feedback circuits to ensure they agree.

Conditions for Running the DTC

Ignition ON for 30 seconds.

Conditions for Setting the DTC

The damper coil or the circuits to the coil are shorted to ground, shorted to voltage, or open for 3 consecutive ignition ON cycles.

Action Taken When the DTC Sets

* The driver information center displays the SERVICE SUSPENSION SYSTEM message.
* If the DTC symptom 01 is stored, the electronic suspension control (ESC) system is disabled.
* If the DTC symptom 02 or 04 is stored, the suspect damper is disabled.

Conditions for Clearing the DTC

* A current DTC will clear on the next consecutive malfunction-free ignition cycle.
* A history DTC will clear after 50 consecutive malfunction-free ignition cycles.

Circuit/System Verification

Ignition ON, command the damper actuator ON and OFF while jouncing the vehicle in the front and rear. Suspension should change stiffness when commanded between the ON and OFF state.

Circuit/System Testing

1. Ignition OFF, disconnect the harness connector at the applicable suspension damper.
2. Test for less than 1.0 ohm of resistance between the low reference circuit terminal and ground.

^ If greater than 1.0 ohm, test the low reference circuit for an open/high resistance.

3. Connect a test lamp between the control circuit terminal and the ground circuit terminal.
4. Command the applicable damper ON and OFF with a scan tool. The test lamp should turn ON and OFF when changing between the commanded states.

^ If the test lamp is always ON, test the control circuit for a short to voltage. If the circuit tests normal, replace the ESC module.
^ If the test lamp is always OFF, test for a short to ground or an open/high resistance on the control circuit. If the circuit tests normal, replace the ESC module.

5. If all circuits test normal, test or replace the applicable suspension damper.

Component Testing

1. Ignition OFF, disconnect the harness connector at the applicable suspension damper.
2. Test for less than 2 ohms of resistance between the control circuit terminal and the low reference circuit terminal of the applicable suspension damper.

^ If not within the specified range, replace the applicable suspension damper.

Repair Instructions

Perform the Diagnostic Repair Verification after completing the diagnostic procedure. Verification Tests

* Shock Absorber Replacement (FE1, FE3) Shock Absorber Replacement (FE7)
* Control Module References for ESC replacement, setup, and programming.
