Pinpoint Tests


PINPOINT TEST A: U3003:16

Refer to Wiring Diagrams Cell 41 for schematic and connector information.

Normal Operation and Fault Conditions

The VDM requires an operating voltage that is between 9 and 16 volts. The VDM receives this voltage from the BCMC which has an internal FET that is switched ON and OFF. The VDM has a single ground circuit. Excessive resistance or an open in one or more of these circuits, a discharged battery or an inoperative charging system results in the VDM setting a DTC . After setting the DTC the VDM deactivates the dynamic suspension system resulting in a firm/harsh suspension feel and send a message to the IPC to display a dynamic suspension system warning message.

PINPOINT TEST C: P1758:19

Refer to Wiring Diagrams Cell 41 for schematic and connector information.

Normal Operation and Fault Conditions

Using input from the height sensors and FD-CAN messages, the VDM provides a varying current to the damper solenoid valves. The VDM is programmed with an upper limit for this current. One or more of the height sensors failing internally and damage or modifications to the vehicle suspension may cause this DTC to set. After setting the DTC the VDM deactivates the dynamic suspension system resulting in a firm/harsh suspension feel and send a message to the IPC to display a dynamic suspension system warning message.

DTC Fault Trigger Conditions

DTC Description Fault Trigger Condition
VDM P1758:19 Pressure Solenoid Control System Incorrect Current: Circuit Current Above Threshold This DTC sets in continuous memory if one or more of the damper solenoids requests a current greater than or equal to a preset maximum current for a given duration, 3 or more times during the same ignition cycle. The maximum current threshold and duration is 1.9 amps for 2 minutes.

Possible Sources

  • Height sensor(s) incorrectly installed
  • Height sensor(s) faulted
  • Height sensor(s) damaged
  • VDM calibration

PINPOINT TEST D: LEFT FRONT DAMPER SOLENOID ELECTRICAL FAULTS

Refer to Wiring Diagrams Cell 41 for schematic and connector information.

Normal Operation and Fault Conditions

The VDM sends a variable voltage to the damper solenoids based on sensor input and FD-CAN messages. The VDM continually monitors the damper solenoid circuits and sets a DTC when a circuit fault is detected. A shorted or open damper solenoid also causes the VDM to set a DTC . After setting the DTC the VDM deactivates the dynamic suspension system resulting in a firm/harsh suspension feel and send a message to the IPC to display a dynamic suspension system warning message.

PINPOINT TEST E: RIGHT FRONT DAMPER SOLENOID ELECTRICAL FAULTS

Refer to Wiring Diagrams Cell 41 for schematic and connector information.

Normal Operation and Fault Conditions

The VDM sends a variable voltage to the damper solenoids based on sensor input and FD-CAN messages. The VDM continually monitors the damper solenoid circuits and sets a DTC when a circuit fault is detected. A shorted or open damper solenoid also causes the VDM to set a DTC . After setting the DTC the VDM deactivates the dynamic suspension system resulting in a firm/harsh suspension feel and send a message to the IPC to display a dynamic suspension system warning message.

PINPOINT TEST I: RIGHT FRONT HEIGHT SENSOR ELECTRICAL FAULTS

Refer to Wiring Diagrams Cell 41 for schematic and connector information.

Normal Operation and Fault Conditions

The VDM continually monitors the height sensor circuits and sets a DTC when a circuit fault is detected. A shorted height sensor also causes the VDM to set a DTC . After setting the DTC the VDM deactivates the dynamic suspension system resulting in a firm/harsh suspension feel and send a message to the IPC to display a dynamic suspension system warning message.

PINPOINT TEST AE: U0452:00

Normal Operation and Fault Conditions

With the ignition ON, the RCM module sends messages to the VDM over the HS-CAN2 . If the VDM does not receive valid data from these messages within a certain time frame, the module sets Diagnostic Trouble Codes (DTCs). The VDM will deactivate the dynamic suspension system but will NOT cause the IPC to display a warning message for the dynamic suspension system. REFER to: Vehicle Dynamic Suspension - System Operation and Component Description (204-05 Vehicle Dynamic Suspension, Description and Operation).

    Wheel to Hub Runout Minimization. General Procedures

    Check

    NOTE: Wheel-to-hub optimization is important. Clearance between the wheel and hub can be used to offset or neutralize the Road Force® or run-out of the wheel and tire assembly. For every 0.001 inch of wheel-to-hub clearance, the Road Force® can be affected between 1 and 3 pounds depending on the tire stiffness.

    NOTE: The example below illustrates how the clearance between the wheel and the hub can be used to offset the high spot of radial run-out or Road Force®. Following the procedure will make sure of the best optimization.

    Position the wheel and tire assembly on the vehicle so that the high spot location of radial run-out or Road Force® is at the 6 o'clock position and
