Circuit/System Description |
The suspension control module supplies a 5 V reference voltage and a low reference to each body acceleration sensor and wheel acceleration sensor. The body acceleration sensors and wheel 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 |
C0870 03
The suspension control module detected a short to ground on the 5 V reference circuit for 1.5 s.C0870 07
The suspension control module detected a short to voltage on the 5 V reference circuit for 1.5 s.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 Suspension Position Sensor 5 V Reference parameter. The reading should be 5 V.
Circuit/System Testing |
1. |
Ignition OFF, disconnect the harness connectors at all 5 vertical body and wheel acceleration sensors.
|
2. |
Ignition ON, test for 4.8-5.2 V between one of the 5 V reference circuits terminal 1 and ground.
|
3. |
If less than the specified range, test the 5 V reference circuit for a short to ground. If the circuit tests normal, replace the K19 Suspension Control Module.
|
4. |
If greater than the specified value, test the 5 V reference circuit for a short to voltage. If the circuit tests normal, replace the K19 Suspension Control Module.
|
5. |
Test for 4.8-5.2 V between all 5 vertical body and wheel acceleration sensor signal circuit terminals 2 and ground.
|
6. |
If less than the specified value, test the signal circuit for a short to ground or an open/high resistance. If the circuit tests normal, replace the K19 Suspension Control Module.
|
7. |
If greater than the specified value, test the signal circuit for a short to voltage. If the circuit tests normal, replace the K19 Suspension Control Module.
|
8. |
Ignition OFF, connect each component associated with the 5 V reference circuit one at a time while observing the scan tool Suspension Position Sensor 5 V Reference parameter. Verify the reading is 5 V.
|
9. |
If not the specified value when a component is connected, replace the component.
