Vehicle Dynamic Suspension — 2016 workshop reference 2613

Ignition OFF. Disconnect and inspect VDM C4585A and related in-line electrical connectors. Using a good light source, inspect all disconnected electrical connectors for the following:

corrosion - install new connector or terminal and clean the module pins damaged or bent pins - install new terminals or pins pushed-out pins - install new pins as necessary spread terminals - install new terminals as necessary

Are the connectors free of corrosion, damaged pins, bent pins, pushed-out pins and spread terminals?

Yes	GO to B5
No	REPAIR the connector or terminals. Refer to Wiring Diagrams Cell 5 for schematic and connector information.

B5 CHECK FOR CORRECT VDM (VEHICLE DYNAMICS CONTROL MODULE) OPERATION

Connect VDM C4585A and all related in-line electrical connectors. Make sure they seat and latch correctly. Operate the system and determine if the concern is still present.

Is the concern still present?

Yes	CHECK OASIS for any applicable Technical Service Bulletins (TSBs). If a TSB exists for this concern, DISCONTINUE this test and FOLLOW the TSB instructions. If no Technical Service Bulletins (TSBs) address this concern, INSTALL a new VDM. REFER to: Vehicle Dynamics Control Module (VDM) (204-05 Vehicle Dynamic Suspension, Removal and Installation).
No	The system is operating correctly at this time. The concern may have been caused by a loose or corroded connector. ADDRESS the root cause of any connector or pin issues.

Damper Solenoid Electrical Fault Diagnostic Trouble Codes (DTCs)

Refer to Wiring Diagrams Cell 41 for schematic and connector information.

Normal Operation and Fault Conditions

The VDM sends a PWM voltage to the shock absorber solenoids based on sensor input and HS-CAN messages. The VDM continually monitors the shock absorber solenoid circuits and sets a DTC when a circuit fault is detected. A shorted or open shock absorber solenoid also causes the VDM to set a DTC.

DTC Fault Trigger Conditions

DTC	Description	Fault Trigger Conditions

C110C:11 Left Front Damper This DTC sets in continuous memory when the VDM C110D:11 Solenoid: Circuit Short to detects a short to ground on one or both of the shock C110E:11 Ground absorber solenoid circuits for longer than 3 seconds. C110F:11 Right Front Damper
