Circuit Description
The air suspension control module (ASCM) controls the compressor relay and exhaust valve ground to maintain the height of the vehicle based on voltage signals from the rear height sensors. The ASCM raises and lowers the vehicle in order to keep the vehicle level.
Conditions for Running the DTC
| • | Battery voltage is between 9-16 volts. |
| • | The exhaust valve is commanded ON. |
Conditions for Setting the DTC
| • | The exhaust valve control circuit is shorted to voltage, ground, or open when solenoid activation is commanded ON for 2.5 seconds. |
| • | The exhaust valve B+ circuit is shorted to ground when solenoid activation is commanded ON for 5 seconds. |
Action Taken When the DTC Sets
| • | The air suspension system will be inoperative. |
| • | The SERVICE SUSPENSION SYSTEM message will be displayed. |
Conditions for Clearing the MIL/DTC
| • | DTC C0660 will change from a current DTC to a history DTC on the next ignition cycle. |
| • | DTC C0660 will be cleared from history after 50 ignition cycles. |

Circuit/System Verification
Ignition ON, command the air suspension exhaust solenoid valve ON and OFF with the scan tool output control. The exhaust solenoid valve should turn ON and OFF with each command.
Circuit/System Testing
- Ignition OFF, disconnect the air suspension compressor exhaust solenoid.
- Ignition ON, verify that a test lamp illuminates between the B+ circuit terminal and ground.
- Connect a test lamp between the B+ circuit terminal and the control circuit terminal.
- Command the exhaust solenoid ON and OFF with a scan tool. The test lamp should turn ON and OFF when changing between the commanded states.
- If all circuits test normal, test or replace the air suspension compressor assembly.
| ⇒ | If the test lamp does not illuminate, test for the following conditions listed below. If all circuits test normal, replace the air suspension compressor assembly. |
| • | An open, short to ground, or short to voltage in the air suspension exhaust valve solenoid control circuit. |
| • | A short to ground in one of the B+ or 5-volt reference circuits from the air suspension control module. |
| • | A short to voltage in one of the position sensor low reference circuits. |
| ⇒ | If the test lamp is always ON, test the control circuit for a short to ground. If the circuit tests normal, replace the air suspension control module. |
| ⇒ | If the test lamp is always OFF, test the control circuit for a short to voltage or an open/high resistance. If the circuit tests normal, replace the air suspension control module. |
