Air Suspension Sensors

WARNING: This page is about a different car, the 2003 Oldsmobile Bravada, 2003 GMC Envoy XL, 2003 GMC Envoy, and 2003 Chevrolet TrailBlazer. However, it is still accessible from the selected car via links, so may be relevant.

The air suspension sensor arm is attached to an armature that rotates inside a coil. The inductance of the coil, not the resistance, changes dependent on the position of the armature in the coil. The air suspension module determines the angle of the sensor arm by sending a pulse width modulated supply voltage through the coil and measuring the response time. The sensors must be calibrated to the correct D height and are not adjustable.
