REMOVAL

NOTE:

The air suspension system can be disabled and enabled by using the Display Screen Module (DSM) in the vehicle under Tire Jack Mode, which is the preferred method. If the disable level control routine in the diagnostic scan tool is used, it will only disable the level control (automatic and manual) for that ignition cycle. The air suspension system can also be enabled by driving the vehicle above 19 km/h (12 mph). The air suspension must be disabled prior to lifting the vehicle or performing any work.

If equipped with air suspension, disable the air suspension system.
Raise and support the vehicle. Refer to HOISTING, STANDARD PROCEDURE .
