Circuit/System Testing

  1. Vehicle OFF, disconnect the harness connectors at all 5 vertical body and suspension acceleration sensors.
  2. Disconnect the harness connector at the K19 Suspension Control Module. Vehicle in Service Mode.
  3. Test for less than 1 V between the K19 Suspension Control Module 5 V reference circuit terminal 12 and ground.
    • If greater than 1 V 

      Repair the short to voltage on the circuit.

    • Go to next step: If less than 1 V 
  4. Vehicle OFF.
  5. Test for infinite resistance between the K19 Suspension Control Module 5 V reference circuit terminal 12 and ground.
    • If less than infinite resistance 

      Repair the short to ground on the circuit.

    • Go to next step: If infinite resistance 
  6. Vehicle OFF, connect the harness connector at the K19 Suspension Control Module. Vehicle in Service Mode.
  7. Verify the scan tool Suspension Position 5 V Reference parameter is greater than 4.75 V.
    • If 4.75 V or less 

      Replace the K19 Suspension Control Module.

    • Go to next step: If greater than 4.75 V 
  8. Clear the DTCs.
  9. Connect each vertical body and suspension acceleration sensors one at a time. Verify DTC C0870 is not set after each vertical body or suspension acceleration sensor is connected.
    • If DTC C0870 is set 

      Replace the vertical body or suspension acceleration sensor that set DTC.

    • Go to next step: If DTC C0870 is not set
