Circuit Description

The air suspension exhaust valve is controlled by the air suspension control module. The air suspension control module provides a switched path to voltage whenever exhaust valve activity is required. The air suspension control module monitors the exhaust valve circuity to determine if the voltage level agrees with the command state.

DTC Descriptor

This diagnostic procedure supports the following DTC:

Diagnostic Aids

This DTC is set when the exhaust valve circuitry is shorted to ground, voltage, and open.

Test Description

The numbers below refer to the step numbers on the diagnostic table.

  1. During the air suspension exhaust valve operation, listen for an audible click. Command the ON and the OFF states. Repeat the commands as necessary.

    2.

  2. This step verifies that the air suspension control module is providing voltage to the air suspension exhaust valve.

    3.

  3. This step tests for an open in the ground circuit to the air suspension exhaust valve.

    4.

  4. This step tests for constant voltage to the air suspension exhaust valve.
