Circuit Description

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

DTC Descriptor

This diagnostic procedure supports the following DTC:

DTC C0717 Right Rear Solenoid 2 Circuit

Conditions for Running the DTC

The ignition is ON.

Conditions for Setting the DTC

Air suspension module senses inlet valve voltage does not agree with command state.

Action Taken When the DTC Sets
    • Air suspension functionality is suspended.
    • SERVICE AIR SUSPENSION message is displayed.

Conditions for Clearing the DTC

The DTC will clear when the condition for setting the DTC is removed.

Diagnostic Aids

This DTC is set when the inlet 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 right air solenoid operation, listen for an audible click. Command the ON and the OFF states. Repeat the commands as necessary.

    2.

  2. Verifies that the air suspension module is providing voltage to the right air solenoid.

    3.

  3. Tests for an open in the ground circuit to the right air solenoid.

    4.

  4. Tests for constant voltage to the right air solenoid.
