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

C0595 02, C0600 02, and C0605 02

The signal voltage is less than 0.5 V for 1.5 s

C0595 05, C0600 05, and C0605 05

The signal voltage is greater than 4.5 V for 1.5 s


C0595 0A, C0600 0A, and C0605 0A

• 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 Verification

Ignition ON, observe the scan tool Vertical Body Acceleration parameters. The parameters should be 0 m/s 2 .

Circuit/System Testing


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

2. If the DTC is present, refer to DTC C0870 to diagnose that DTC prior to this diagnostic.

3. Ignition OFF, disconnect the harness connector at the appropriate B162 vertical body acceleration sensor.

4. Ignition OFF, open/close doors, and wait 60 seconds. Test for less than 5 Ω between the low reference circuit terminal 3 and ground.

5. If greater than the specified value, test the low reference circuit for short to voltage or an open/high resistance. If the circuit tests normal, replace the K19 suspension control module.

6. Ignition ON, test for 4.8-5.2 V between the 5 V reference circuit terminal 1 and ground.

7. If less than the specified range, test the 5 V reference circuit for a short to ground or an open/high resistance. If the circuit tests normal, replace the K19 suspension control module.

8. If the parameter is higher than the specified reading, check whether there is a short circuit to voltage in the 5 V reference circuit. If the circuit tests normal, replace the K19 suspension control module.

9. Verify the scan tool Vertical Body Acceleration parameter is less than -3 m/s 2 .

10. If greater than the specified value, test the signal circuit for a short to ground. If the circuit tests normal, replace the K19 suspension control module.

11. Install a fused jumper wire between the signal circuit terminal 2 and the low reference circuit terminal 3.

12. Verify the scan tool Vertical Body Acceleration parameter is greater than 3 m/s 2 .

13. If less than the specified value, test the signal circuit for a short to voltage or an open/high resistance. If the circuit tests normal, replace the K19 suspension control module.

14. If all circuits test normal, replace the B162 vertical body acceleration sensor.
