Circuit/System Testing
WARNING: This page is about a different car, the 2008 Cadillac DTS. However, it is still accessible from the selected car via links, so may be relevant.
- Verify that there are no air leaks in the system.
- If a leak is found, repair or replace the leaking component as necessary.
- Ignition OFF, remove the ELC MDL fuse in the rear fuse block and disconnect the harness connector at the air pressure sensor.
- Test for less than 2.0 ohms between the low reference terminal at the harness connector and ground.
- If greater than specified, test the low reference circuit for open/high resistance. If the circuit tests normal, replace the air suspension control module.
- Ignition ON, verify that 4.8-5.2 volts exists between the 5-volt reference circuit terminal of the harness connector and ground.
- If less than the specified range, test the 5-volt reference circuit for open/high resistance or a short to ground. If the circuit tests normal, replace the air suspension control module.
- If greater than the specified range, test the 5-volt reference circuit for a short to voltage. If the circuit tests normal, replace the air suspension control module.
- Verify the scan tool Air Pressure Sensor parameter is less than 0.5 volt.
- If greater than the specified range, test the signal circuit terminal for a short to voltage. If the circuit tests normal, replace the air suspension control module.
- Install a 3A fused jumper wire between the signal circuit terminal and the 5-volt reference circuit terminal. Verify the scan tool Air Pressure Sensor parameter is greater than 4.8 volts.
- If less than the specified range, test the signal circuit for a short to ground or an open/high resistance. If the circuit tests normal, replace the air suspension control module.
- If all circuits test normal, test or replace the air pressure sensor.
