Pinpoint Test D : Damper Solenoid Electrical Faults: Notes
WARNING: This page is about a different car, the 2018 Lincoln Navigator. However, it is still accessible from the selected car via links, so may be relevant.
Damper Solenoid Electrical Faults
Refer to Wiring Diagram Vehicle Dynamic Suspension for schematic and connector information.
Normal Operation and Fault Conditions
The VDM sends a variable voltage to the damper solenoids based on sensor input and HS-CAN messages. The VDM continually monitors the damper solenoid circuits and sets a DTC when a circuit fault is detected. A shorted or open damper solenoid also causes the VDM to set a DTC.
DTC Fault Trigger Conditions
| DTC | Description | Fault Trigger Conditions |
|---|---|---|
| C110C:11 C110D:11 C110E:11 C110F:11 |
Left Front Damper Solenoid: Circuit Short to Ground Right Front Damper Solenoid: Circuit Short to Ground Left Rear Damper Solenoid: Circuit Short to Ground Right Rear Damper Solenoid: Circuit Short to Ground |
This DTC sets in continuous memory when the VDM detects a short to ground on one or both of the damper solenoid circuits for longer than 3 seconds. |
| C110C:12 C110D:12 C110E:12 C110F:12 |
Left Front Damper Solenoid: Circuit Short to Battery Right Front Damper Solenoid: Circuit Short to Battery Left Rear Damper Solenoid: Circuit Short to Battery Right Rear Damper Solenoid: Circuit Short to Battery |
This DTC sets in continuous memory when the VDM detects a short to battery voltage on one or both of the damper solenoid circuits for longer than 3 seconds. |
| C110C:13 C110D:13 C110E:13 C110F:13 |
Left Front Damper Solenoid: Circuit Open Right Front Damper Solenoid: Circuit Open Left Rear Damper Solenoid: Circuit Open Right Rear Damper Solenoid: Circuit Open |
This DTC sets in continuous memory when the VDM detects an open circuit on one or both of the damper solenoid circuits for longer than 3 seconds. |
Possible Sources
- Wiring, terminals or connectors
- Shock or Strut (valve solenoid is serviced as an assembly with the shock or strut)
- VDM
Visual Inspection and Diagnostic Pre-checks
- Make sure the valve solenoid harness is routed correctly and is undamaged.
- Make sure the valve solenoid electrical connector is free from any corrosion or other contaminants.
