DTC C0713

Diagnostic Instructions

* Perform the Diagnostic System Check - Vehicle (Initial Inspection and Diagnostic Overview) prior to using this diagnostic procedure.
* Review Strategy Based Diagnosis (Initial Inspection and Diagnostic Overview) for an overview of the diagnostic approach.
* Diagnostic Procedure Instructions (Initial Inspection and Diagnostic Overview) provides an overview of each diagnostic category.



DTC Descriptor
DTC C0713 00
- Level Control Compressor Over Temperature




Circuit Description

The air suspension control module monitors the run time and temperature of the compressor. If the compressor has run excessively and/or the operating temperature increases above the normal limits, the air suspension control module switches OFF the compressor relay.


Conditions for Running the DTC

Battery voltage is between 9-16 volts.


Conditions for Setting the DTC

The air suspension control module detects a compressor overheating condition during air suspension compressor operation.


Action Taken When the DTC Sets

* The air suspension system will be inoperative.
* The SERVICE SUSPENSION SYSTEM message will be displayed.



Conditions for Clearing the MIL/DTC

* When the fault is no longer present, DTC C0713 will change from a current DTC to a history DTC on the next ignition cycle.
* DTC C0713 will be cleared from history after 50 ignition cycles.

Circuit/System Verification

1. Verify that there are no air leaks in the system.

• If a leak is found, repair or replace the leaking component as necessary.

2. Ignition ON, verify that the air suspension compressor is not mechanically binding.

• If a mechanical condition is found, replace the air suspension compressor.

3. Observe the scan tool Compressor Temperature parameter, the parameter should display OK.

• If not the specified value, test or replace the air suspension compressor.

4. Clear the DTC with the scan tool and run the air suspension compressor with the scan tool output control. The DTC should not reset.

• If DTC C0713 resets, replace the air suspension control module.
