Removal Procedure
- Raise and support the vehicle. Refer to Lifting and Jacking the Vehicle.
- Remove the rear wheels. Refer to Tire and Wheel Removal and Installation.
- Lower the vehicle with the rear axle supported by jack stands.
- Raise or lower the vehicle until the D-height measurement is 25 mm (1 in) above the published D-height specification 135 mm (5.33 in).
- Turn the ignition key to the ON position. This will partially deflate the air spring.
- After two minutes, turn the ignition key to the OFF position and remove the air suspension fuse. Refer to Electrical Center Identification Views.
- Raise or lower the vehicle so that the D-height is at published specification 110 mm (4.33 in).
- Disconnect the air spring level sensor link from the upper control arm.
- Disconnect the air spring level sensor electrical connector.
- Remove the air spring level sensor-to-frame mounting bolts.
- Remove the air spring level sensor from the vehicle.
Note: A D-height gage block (1) can be used to determine the D-height position. Create a D-height gage block using metal stock cut to 20 mm X 30 mm X the published D-height specification 110 mm (4.33 in). Use the block (1) as a measuring device only.
Installation Procedure
- Install the air spring level sensor link to the upper control arm.
- Loosely install sensor mounting bolts with the anti-rotation bolt in the right hand mounting hole.
- While holding the body of the sensor, tighten the anti-rotation bolt first. Tighten the air spring level sensor frame mounting bolts to 8 N·m (71 lb in).
- Connect the air spring level sensor electrical connector.
- Verify the pin can be removed and installed with ease to ensure the correct sensor installation.
- Remove the air spring level sensor locating pin.
- Raise the vehicle off the jackstands and remove the jackstands from under the vehicle.
- Install the rear wheels. Refer to Tire and Wheel Removal and Installation.
- Lower the vehicle.
- Install the air suspension fuse.
- Turn the ignition key to the ON position to inflate the rear air springs.
- After two minutes, turn the ignition key to the OFF position.
- Recycle the ignition, if needed.
- Verify and record the D-height. Refer to Trim Height Specifications.
Note: If not equipped, use a NEW anti-rotation bolt P/N 11569736.
Caution: Refer to Fastener Caution in the Preface section.
Note: Do not remove the air spring level sensor locating pin until the air spring level sensor has been properly mounted and aligned.
If the pin cannot be inserted with ease, loosen the sensor fasteners, adjust the sensor, and retighten the sensor fasteners so that the pin can be removed and installed with ease.
Caution: Failure to remove the air suspension auto level control sensor locating pin will cause damage to the air suspension auto level control sensor.
