WARNING: This page is about a different car, the 2011 Cadillac DTS. However, it is still accessible from the selected car via links, so may be relevant.
- Ignition OFF, disconnect the harness connector at the appropriate suspension damper.
- Perform this setup step in the following order:
- Connect a test lamp between the damper connector control circuit terminal A and control circuit terminal B.
- Ignition ON, with a scan tool, clear all ESC module DTCs.
- Command the 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 terminal A for a short to voltage. If the circuit tests normal, replace the ESC module.
- If the test lamp is always OFF, test the control circuits listed below. If all circuits test normal, replace the ESC module.
- Control circuit terminal A for a short to ground or open/high resistance.
- Control circuit terminal B for an open/high resistance or short to voltage.
- If all circuits test normal, test or replace the suspension damper.
IMPORTANT:
Whenever repairing and/or replacing ALC system components, perform the Suspension Position Calibration procedure.
