Circuit Description
The right air suspension sensor arm is attached to an armature that rotates inside a coil. The air suspension compressor assembly determines the angle of the sensor arm by measuring the voltage of the right air suspension sensor signal at 50 ms intervals via the right air suspension sensor signal circuit.
DTC Descriptor
This diagnostic procedure supports the following DTC:
DTC 003 Right Rear Position Sensor Circuit
Conditions for Running the DTC
The ignition is ON.
Conditions for Setting the DTC
The air suspension compressor assembly detects an invalid air suspension sensor signal.
Action Taken When the DTC Sets
The air suspension compressor assembly shall disregard the right air suspension sensor input and use the left air suspension sensor to determine the vehicle height.
If both air suspension sensor DTCs are set, the air suspension compressor assembly shall deactivate the compressor, corner solenoids, and exhaust solenoids. All leveling functions will be disabled. Inflator functions will not be disabled.
Conditions for Clearing the DTC
The DTC will automatically clear when the condition for setting the DTC is removed.
Diagnostic Aids
Resistance of the air suspension sensor at room temperature and normal vehicle height is approximately 87 ohms. The resistance range of the sensor is 75-100 ohms.
