REAR LEVELING DIAGNOSTIC PROCEDURES
SELF-DIAGNOSTICS
A self-diagnostic procedure is available for the ser-
vice technician to use to detect system malfunctions.
BEFORE DIAGNOSTICS TEST
Check the 20 amp fuse (position W40) and the 30
amp circuit breaker (position W5) to be assured they
are functional components. Check all connectors that link the system into the
main body wiring harness. These include compressor,
height sensor, control module, (Fig. 7) and relay.
Also check the underbody to in trunk and leveling
harness to main body harness connectors. Also, check
all air lines, connectors, and other components for
correct installation.
TEST LAMP PIN OPERATION
The monitor lamp pin output will be activated (test
lamp on) if the detection of abnormal system opera-
tion is determined by the CM.
AFTER COMPLETION OF REPAIRS
To initiate diagnostics, disconnect the test ground
wire then reconnect for repair verification.
TERMINATION OF SELF-DIAGNOSTICS
The self-diagnostic operation is terminated when
any of the following takes place:
² Disconnecting the diagnostic input from the
ground circuit.
² Turn the ignition switch to the off position.
When the self-diagnostic operation is terminated.
The control module resumes normal operation unless
it ceases operation. Due to it detecting a system mal-
function.
TEST WEIGHT
Weight between 275-300 lbs. must be added to rear
of vehicle before diagnostic testing begins.
DIAGNOSTICS (TO START PROCESS)
(1) Remove protective connector cover from diag-
nostic connector. (2) Insert wire into diagnostic ground pin. Then at-
tach to compressor ground pin, or as an alternate, in-
sert wire into diagnostic ground pin. Then ground
other end of test wire to body structure or a control
module fastener.
IGNITION
The following self diagnostic operation is initiated
by connecting the diagnostic ground pin to ground af-
ter ignition switch is turned ON. A monitor lamp
must be connected between the Test Lamp Ground
Pin and the Test Lamp Feed Pin to display the con-
trol module diagnostics status. See (Fig. 8) for diag-
nostic test pin locations.
OPERATION
(1) The compressor relay output. From the control
module (CM), is activated until the vehicle is in the
high position. The maximum relay output operation
time is 150 610 seconds. If the expected position is
not obtained, the CM ceases self-diagnostics and any
further operation. (I.e. neither operates the compres-
sor relay or exhaust outputs). The monitor lamp out-
put is continuously activated until ignition is cycled
from OFF to ON or 60 61 minutes has elapsed after
ignition was turned off. See Diagnostics Chart 1. (2) The monitor lamp output should flash to indi-
cate the position of the height sensor. The sensor
should be in the high position. A continuously
lighted monitor lamp will indicate a system failure.
Such as the compressor relay output has operated for
150 610 seconds but the height sensor did not move
to the high position within the right shock absorber).
See Diagnostic Chart 1. (3) Next the exhaust solenoid output is activated
until the vehicle is in the low position. The maxi-
mum exhaust solenoid operation time is 120 610 sec-
onds. If the expected position is not obtained, the
module ceases self-diagnostics and any further oper-
ation. The monitor lamp output is lighted continu-
ously until ignition is cycled from OFF to ON or 60
6 1 minutes has elapsed after ignition is turned off.
See Diagnostic Chart 4. (4) The monitor lamp should flash to indicate the
height sensor is in the low position. A continuouslyFig. 7 Control Module Connector
