Circuit/System Description

The suspension control module commands variable levels of current to each shock absorber/damper actuator in response to rough road, braking or abrupt steering maneuver driving conditions. The current variation is performed by pulse width modulation (PWM) of the system voltage. The suspension control module continuously measures the actual current of each actuator. When a deviation between commanded and actual current is detected, a DTC is set.

Conditions for Running the DTC

System voltage is between 9-16 V

Conditions for Setting the DTC

C0575 02, C0580 02, C0585 02, and C0590 02

•  A short to voltage or short to ground on the control high circuit is detected.
•  A short to ground on the control low circuit is detected.

C0575 04, C0580 04, C0585 04, and C0590 04

•  An open circuit on the control high or control low circuit is detected.
•  A short to voltage on the control low circuit is detected.

C0575 0F, C0580 0F, C0585 0F, and C0590 0F

An erratic current on the actuator circuit is detected.

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, command the Damper Actuator Increase and Decrease with a scan tool while observing the Damper Actuator Command parameter. The reading should vary between 0-1 000 mA. Listen/feel the damper actuator. The component should activate when changing between the commanded states.

Circuit/System Testing

1. Ignition OFF, disconnect the harness connector at the appropriate damper actuator.
2. Ignition ON, test for 2.5-3.5 V between the circuit terminal listed below and ground:
  •  Front left damper actuator control circuit terminal 5
  •  Front right damper actuator control circuit terminal 5
  •  Rear left damper actuator control circuit terminal B
  •  Rear right damper actuator control circuit terminal B
If greater than the specified value, test the control circuit for a short to voltage. If the circuit tests normal, replace the K19 Suspension Control Module.
If less than the specified value, test the control circuit for a short to ground or an open/high resistance. If the circuit tests normal, replace the K19 Suspension Control Module.
3. Ignition ON, test for 9.5-10.5 V between the circuit terminal listed below and ground:
  •  Front left damper actuator control circuit terminal 6
  •  Front right damper actuator control circuit terminal 6
  •  Rear left damper actuator control circuit terminal A
  •  Rear right damper actuator control circuit terminal A
If greater than the specified value, test the control circuit for a short to voltage. If the circuit tests normal, replace the K19 Suspension Control Module.
If less than the specified value, test the control circuit for a short to ground or an open/high resistance. If the circuit tests normal, replace the K19 Suspension Control Module.
4. If all circuits test normal, test or replace the damper actuator and verify the DTC does not reset.
If the DTC resets, replace the K19 Suspension Control Module.

Component Testing

Static Test

1. Ignition OFF, disconnect the harness connector at the appropriate damper actuator.
2. Test for 2-3 Ω between the control terminals 1 and 2 at the rear damper actuators.
3. Test for 2-3 Ω between the control terminals 5 and 6 at the front damper actuators.
If not within the specified range, replace the damper actuator.

Repair Instructions

Perform the Diagnostic Repair Verification after completing the diagnostic procedure.
