Circuit Description
The electronic suspension control (ESC) system calibrations are stored in the
EEPROM. When the ignition switch is first turned to the ON position, the ESC module
performs internal tests on the EEPROM and can determine the integrity of the EEPROMs
non-volatile memory. The ESC module compares the previously stored checksum with
the checksum calculated when the ignition switch is first turned ON. If the two checksums
do not match, the ESC module will indicate that a calibration malfunction, which
is a checksum error is current.
Conditions for Running the DTC
The ignition ON.
Conditions for Setting the DTC
| • | The stored checksum does not match the calculated checksum. |
| • | The ESC module detects an internal memory malfunction, which is a checksum
error. |
| • | The malfunction must be detected when the ignition switch is first turned
to the ON position. The ignition switch must be OFF first for 10 seconds. |
Action Taken When the DTC Sets
| • | Stores a DTC C0563 in the ESC memory. |
| • | Depending on which internal circuitry was affected by this malfunction,
the ESC module will command one of the following actions: |
| - | Command 0% PWM duty cycle in order to disable all four shock absorber
solenoids. |
| - | Ignore the steering position input. |
| - | Provide shock absorber solenoid control based on the vehicle speed only. |
| - | Sends a message to the IPC to display the SERVICE RIDE CONTROL message. |
| - | Sends a message to the IPC to display the SHOCKS INOPERATIVE message. |
| • | If the disable all 4 shock absorber solenoids action was taken,
the ESC module sends a message to the powertrain control module (PCM) to limit the
speed. The PCM then sends a message to the instrument panel cluster (IPC) to display
the MAXIMUM SPEED 129 km/h (80 mph) message. |
Conditions for Clearing the DTC
| • | Under all fault conditions, the ignition must be cycled before this DTC
can change from current to history. |
| • | The ESC module no longer detects an internal memory malfunction, which
is a checksum error condition when the ignition is cycled from OFF to ON. |
| • | A history DTC will clear after 100 consecutive ignition cycles
if the condition for the malfunction is no longer present. |
| • | Use the IPC clearing DTC feature. |
Diagnostic Aids
| • | Since DTC C0563 is an internal malfunction to the ESC module, there
is no repair procedure, and the module must be replaced. |
| • | The ESC module tests for multiple internal malfunctions, and will store
a DTC C0563 if one or more internal malfunctions are detected. Therefore,
depending on which malfunction was detected, and what internal circuitry was affected,
this DTC may cause various symptoms. |
