ISSUE:
Some vehicles may exhibit full power assisted steering at all speeds and a stiff suspension at highway speeds. This may be caused by a Vehicle Speed
Sensor (VSS) circuit missing from the semi-active suspension on vehicles with manual air conditioning.
ACTION:
Add the VSS circuit to the wiring harness. The semi-active ride control will operate properly with the addition of the VSS circuit. Refer to the following
Service Procedure for details.
