| Circuit/System Description |
The suspension control module supplies a 5 V reference voltage and a low reference to each body acceleration sensor and verticle suspension acceleration sensor. The body acceleration sensors and verticle suspension 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 parameter should be 4.8-5.2 V.
| Circuit/System Testing |
| 1. |
Ignition OFF, disconnect the harness connectors at all 5 vertical body and suspension acceleration sensors.
|
|
| 2. |
Ignition ON, test for 4.8-5.2 V between any one of the 5 V reference circuits terminal and ground.
|
|
| 3. |
If less than the specified range, test all of the 5 V reference circuits for a short to ground. If the circuits test normal, replace the K19 suspension control module.
|
|
| 4. |
If greater than the specified range, test all of the 5 V reference circuits for a short to voltage. If the circuits test normal, replace the K19 suspension control module.
|
|
| 5. |
Test for 4.8-5.2 V between all 5 vertical body and suspension acceleration sensor signal circuits terminals and ground.
|
|
| 6. |
If less than the specified range, 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 range, test the signal circuit for a short to voltage. If the circuit tests normal, replace the K19 suspension control module.
|
|
| 8. |
Reconnect each acceleration sensor, one at a time, cycling the ignition OFF and then ON between each connection while observing the scan tool Suspension Position Sensor 5 V Reference parameter. Verify the parameter is between 4.8-5.2 V.
|
|
| 9. |
If not within the specified range when a particular acceleration sensor is connected, replace that sensor.
