DTC | Description | Fault Trigger Conditions |
|---|---|---|
Sensor: Circuit Short to Ground or Open | ||
C1A03:2A C1A04:2A C1A05:2A C1A06:2A | Left Front Damper Solenoid: Signal Stuck In Range Right Front Damper Solenoid: Signal Stuck In Range Left Rear Damper Solenoid: Signal Stuck In Range Right Rear Damper Solenoid: Signal Stuck In Range | This DTC sets in continuous memory when the VDM does not detect sufficient movement in the height sensor. This could be due to a mechanical failure or excessive resistance in the circuit. |
C1A03:64 C1A04:64 C1A05:64 C1A06:64 | Left Front Damper Solenoid: Signal Plausibility Failure Right Front Damper Solenoid: Signal Plausibility Failure Left Rear Damper Solenoid: Signal Plausibility Failure Right Rear Damper Solenoid: Signal Plausibility Failure | This DTC sets in continuous memory when one of the height sensors does not agree with the other sensors. |
Possible Sources
Wiring, terminals or connectors Height sensor VDM
Visual Inspection and Diagnostic Pre-checks
Make sure the height sensor harness is routed correctly and is undamaged. Make sure the height sensor electrical connector is free from any corrosion or other contaminants. Make sure the height sensor and linkage are installed and connected correctly.
PINPOINT TEST D : HEIGHT SENSOR ELECTRICAL FAULT DIAGNOSTIC TROUBLE CODES (DTCS)
D1 CHECK THE VDM (VEHICLE DYNAMICS CONTROL MODULE) DIAGNOSTIC TROUBLE CODES (DTCS)
Ignition ON. Using a diagnostic scan tool, carry out the VDM self-test.
Is DTC C1A0X:14, C1A0X:2A or C1A0X:64 present?
Yes | GO to D2 | |
|---|---|---|
No | If DTC C1A03:12, C1A04:12, C1A05:12 or C1A06:12 is present, GO to D4 For all other VDM Diagnostic Trouble Codes (DTCs), GO to the DTC Chart: Vehicle Dynamics Control Module (VDM) | |
