Diagnostic Fault Information

Electronic Suspension Control

Electronic Suspension Control

Circuit/System Description

The suspension control module supplies a 5 V reference voltage and a low reference to each body acceleration sensor. The body acceleration sensors supply a signal of 0.5 - 4.5 V to the suspension control module.

Conditions for Running the DTC

System voltage is between 9 - 16 V

Conditions for Setting the DTC

The signal voltage is less than 0.5 V for 1.5 s

C0595 01, C0600 01, and C0605 01

The signal voltage is greater than 4.5 V for 1.5 s

C0595 02, C0600 02, and C0605 02

  • The number of signal changes is less than specified value for 2.5 s.
  • Vehicle speed is greater than 30 km/h (19 MPH)

Action Taken When the DTC Sets

  • The electronic suspension control is disabled for the duration of the ignition cycle.
  • The driver information center displays the SERVICE SUSPENSION SYSTEM message.

Conditions for Clearing the DTC

  • A present DTC will clear on the next consecutive malfunction-free ignition cycle.
  • A history DTC will clear after 41 consecutive malfunction-free ignition cycles.

Circuit/System Testing

1. Ignition ON, verify that DTC C0870 is not present.

  • If the DTC C0870 is present, refer to DTC C0870
  • Go to next step: If the DTC C0870 is not present

2. Vehicle OFF and all vehicle systems OFF. Disconnect the harness connector at the appropriate B152 Suspension Position Sensor. It may take up to 2 min for all vehicle systems to power down.

3. Test for less than 10 Ω between the low reference circuit terminal 2 and ground.

  • If 10 Ω or greater
  1. Vehicle OFF, disconnect the harness connector at the K19 Suspension Control Module.
  2. Test for less than 2 Ω in the low reference circuit end to end.
    • If 2 Ω or greater, repair the open/high resistance in the circuit.
    • If less than 2 Ω, replace the K19 Suspension Control Module.
  • Go to next step: If less than 10 Ω

4. Vehicle in Service Mode.

5. Test for 4.8 - 5.2 V between the 5 V reference circuit terminal 1 and ground.

  • If less than 4.8 V
  1. Vehicle OFF, disconnect the harness connector at the K19 Suspension Control Module.
  2. Test for infinite resistance between the 5 V reference circuit and ground.
    • If less than infinite resistance, repair the short to ground on the circuit.
    • Go to next step: If infinite resistance
  3. Test for less than 2 Ω in the 5 V reference circuit end to end.
    • If 2 Ω or greater, repair the open/high resistance in the circuit.
    • If less than 2 Ω, replace the K19 Suspension Control Module.
  • If greater than 5.2 V
  1. Vehicle OFF, disconnect the harness connector at the K19 Suspension Control Module, vehicle in Service Mode.
  2. Test for less than 1 V between the 5 V reference circuit and ground.
    • If 1 V or greater, repair the short to voltage on the circuit.
    • If less than 1 V, replace the K19 Suspension Control Module.
  • Go to next step: If within 4.8 - 5.2 V

6. Vehicle OFF, disconnect the harness connector at the K19 Suspension Control Module, vehicle in Service Mode.

7. Test for less than 1 V between the appropriate B152 Suspension Position Sensor signal circuit terminal 3 and ground.

  • If greater than 1 V

Repair the short to voltage on the circuit.

  • Go to next step: If less than 1 V

8. Vehicle OFF.

9. Test for infinite resistance between the appropriate B152 Suspension Position Sensor signal circuit terminal 3 and ground.

  • If less than infinite resistance

Repair the short to ground on the circuit.

  • Go to next step: If infinite resistance

10. Test for less than 2 Ω between the appropriate B152 Suspension Position Sensor signal circuit terminal 3 and the K19 Suspension Control Module signal circuit listed below.

  • Terminal 9
  • Terminal 10
  • Terminal 11
  • If 2 Ω or greater

Repair the open/high resistance in the circuit.

  • Go to next step: If less than 2 Ω

11. Replace the appropriate B152 Suspension Position Sensor.

12. Verify the DTC does not set while operating the vehicle under Conditions for Running the DTC.

  • If the DTC sets

Replace the K19 Suspension Control Module.

  • Go to next step: If the DTC does not set

13. All OK.

Repair Instructions

Perform the Diagnostic Repair Verification after completing the diagnostic procedure.
