Vehicle Dynamic Suspension — 2016 workshop reference 2620

C8 CHECK FOR CORRECT VDM (VEHICLE DYNAMICS CONTROL MODULE) OPERATION

Connect VDM C4585A. Make sure it seats and latches correctly. Connect all VDM and shock absorber solenoid related in-line electrical connectors. Make sure they seat and latch correctly. Connect the suspect damper solenoid electrical connector. Make sure it seats and latches 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.

Height Sensor Electrical Fault Diagnostic Trouble Codes (DTCs)

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

Normal Operation and Fault Conditions

The VDM continually monitors the height sensor circuits and sets a DTC when a circuit fault is detected. A shorted height sensor also causes the VDM to set a DTC.

DTC Fault Trigger Conditions

DTC	Description	Fault Trigger Conditions
C1A03:12 C1A04:12 C1A05:12 C1A06:12	Left Front Height Sensor: Circuit Short to Battery Right Front Height Sensor: Circuit Short to Battery Left Rear Height Sensor: Circuit Short to Battery Right Rear Height Sensor: Circuit Short to Battery	This DTC sets in continuous memory when the VDM detects a short to battery on one or more of the height sensor circuits.

C1A03:14 Left Front Height This DTC sets in continuous memory when the VDM detects C1A04:14 Sensor: Circuit Short to a short to ground or an open on one or more of the height C1A05:14 Ground or Open sensor circuits. C1A06:14 Right Front Height

Sensor: Circuit Short to Ground or Open Left Rear Height Sensor: Circuit Short to Ground or Open Right Rear Height
