Compressor/Pump Relay: Description and Operation

- A relay is needed because the control module cannot directly provide the high current needed to run the compress
- The control module grounds Circuit 420 (DB/Y) to energize the relay coil.
- When energized, the coil creates a magnetic field which closes the relay contacts, connecting Circuit 1053 (LB/P
- High current then flows from battery to the compressor motor.

Suspension Control Module: Description and Operation

DESCRIPTION
The control module has the following features:
- Power is provided by Circuit 1053 (LB/PK).
- The air suspension switch is powered through Circuit 429 (PK/LG).
- Control module ground is provided through control module wire harness Pin 6, to the RH front passenger sheet m
- (EVO)The rear air suspension control module also controls the electronic variable orifice power steering.
- The wiring harness connects to the control module using two separate push button release connectors.
- The connectors are keyed so that they cannot be installed incorrectly.

OPERATION
Control module operates as follows:
- In general the control module uses a 40.5-second averaging interval to determine when compress and vent operat
-
However, door lamp switch inputs can override the 40.5-second averaging interval so compress and vent operatio
- The 40.5-second averaging interval is used to keep the control module from making unneeded corrections.
-
When a vehicle at the correct rear trim height hits a bump, the air suspension height sensor output will read low a
- If the control module was to correct for these "bump induced readings", system duty cycle would increase unnece
-

The 40.5-second averaging interval not only eliminates corrections due to bumps, but also eliminates unneeded c
-
Vent operations are more restricted with the ignition switch in RUN. Compress operations are more restricted aft
-

- The control module does not allow any vent operations for the first 45 seconds after the ignition switch has been
- Even if a vehicle is extremely high in the rear, DO NOT expect it to vent until the ignition switch has been turned
To eliminate the chance of catching a door on a curb as the vehicle vents down, the control module will not allow

at follows:-
the LH rear suspension arm and bushing at the other end
- The air suspension height sensor gets shorter when the rear of the vehicle lowers and longer when the rear of the
- Magnets mounted in the lower slide portion of the air suspension height sensor move relative to the air suspensio
-
This movement generates a signal that is sent to the control module through two small Hall effect switches attach
- he signal generated by movement of the magnets determines switch opening and closing as follows:
- At trim height, the switches remain closed and the control module receives a trim signal.
- Upward movement of the magnets will open one switch to indicate a high condition.
- Downward movement of the magnets will open the other switch to indicate a low condition.

Diagnostic Theory
The shortest route to an accurate diagnosis results from:

^ system knowledge, including comparison with a known good system.

^ system history, including repair history and usage patterns.

^ condition history, especially any relationship to repairs or sudden change.

^ knowledge of probable causes

^ using a systematic diagnostic method that divides the system into related areas.

The diagnosis and correction of noise, vibration and harshness concerns requires:

^ a road or system test to determine the exact nature of the concern.

^ an analysis of the possible causes.


^ testing to verify the cause.
^ repairing any concerns found.

^ a road test or system test to make sure the concern has been corrected or brought back to within a acceptable range.
Diagnostic Process

A good diagnostic process is a logical sequence of steps that lead to the identification of a causal system. The following

^ Choose the appropriate flowchart.

^ Identify the operating condition that the vehicle is exhibiting.

Diagnostic Theory
The shortest route to an accurate diagnosis results from:

^ system knowledge, including comparison with a known good system.

^ system history, including repair history and usage patterns.

^ condition history, especially any relationship to repairs or sudden change.

^ knowledge of probable causes

^ using a systematic diagnostic method that divides the system into related areas.

The diagnosis and correction of noise, vibration and harshness concerns requires:

^ a road or system test to determine the exact nature of the concern.

^ an analysis of the possible causes.


^ testing to verify the cause.
^ repairing any concerns found.

^ a road test or system test to make sure the concern has been corrected or brought back to within a acceptable range.
Diagnostic Process

A good diagnostic process is a logical sequence of steps that lead to the identification of a causal system. The following

^ Choose the appropriate flowchart.

^ Identify the operating condition that the vehicle is exhibiting.

All internal combustion engines and drivelines produce some noise and vibration; operating in a real world environmen
Diagnostic Theory
The shortest route to an accurate diagnosis results from:

^ system knowledge, including comparison with a known good system.

^ system history, including repair history and usage patterns.

^ condition history, especially any relationship to repairs or sudden change.

^ knowledge of probable causes

^ using a systematic diagnostic method that divides the system into related areas.

The diagnosis and correction of noise, vibration and harshness concerns requires:

^ a road or system test to determine the exact nature of the concern.

^ an analysis of the possible causes.


^ testing to verify the cause.
^ repairing any concerns found.

^ a road test or system test to make sure the concern has been corrected or brought back to within a acceptable range.
Diagnostic Process

A good diagnostic process is a logical sequence of steps that lead to the identification of a causal system. The following

^ Choose the appropriate flowchart.

^ Identify the operating condition that the vehicle is exhibiting.

Diagnostic Theory
The shortest route to an accurate diagnosis results from:

^ system knowledge, including comparison with a known good system.

^ system history, including repair history and usage patterns.

^ condition history, especially any relationship to repairs or sudden change.

^ knowledge of probable causes

^ using a systematic diagnostic method that divides the system into related areas.

The diagnosis and correction of noise, vibration and harshness concerns requires:

^ a road or system test to determine the exact nature of the concern.

^ an analysis of the possible causes.


^ testing to verify the cause.
^ repairing any concerns found.

^ a road test or system test to make sure the concern has been corrected or brought back to within a acceptable range.
Diagnostic Process

A good diagnostic process is a logical sequence of steps that lead to the identification of a causal system. The following

^ Choose the appropriate flowchart.

^ Identify the operating condition that the vehicle is exhibiting.

Diagnostic Theory
The shortest route to an accurate diagnosis results from:

^ system knowledge, including comparison with a known good system.

^ system history, including repair history and usage patterns.

^ condition history, especially any relationship to repairs or sudden change.

^ knowledge of probable causes

^ using a systematic diagnostic method that divides the system into related areas.

The diagnosis and correction of noise, vibration and harshness concerns requires:

^ a road or system test to determine the exact nature of the concern.

^ an analysis of the possible causes.


^ testing to verify the cause.
^ repairing any concerns found.

^ a road test or system test to make sure the concern has been corrected or brought back to within a acceptable range.
Diagnostic Process

A good diagnostic process is a logical sequence of steps that lead to the identification of a causal system. The following

^ Choose the appropriate flowchart.

^ Identify the operating condition that the vehicle is exhibiting.

Diagnostic Theory
The shortest route to an accurate diagnosis results from:

^ system knowledge, including comparison with a known good system.

^ system history, including repair history and usage patterns.

^ condition history, especially any relationship to repairs or sudden change.

^ knowledge of probable causes

^ using a systematic diagnostic method that divides the system into related areas.

The diagnosis and correction of noise, vibration and harshness concerns requires:

^ a road or system test to determine the exact nature of the concern.

^ an analysis of the possible causes.

Diagnostic Theory
The shortest route to an accurate diagnosis results from:

^ system knowledge, including comparison with a known good system.

^ system history, including repair history and usage patterns.

^ condition history, especially any relationship to repairs or sudden change.

^ knowledge of probable causes

^ using a systematic diagnostic method that divides the system into related areas.

The diagnosis and correction of noise, vibration and harshness concerns requires:

^ a road or system test to determine the exact nature of the concern.

^ an analysis of the possible causes.


^ testing to verify the cause.
^ repairing any concerns found.

^ a road test or system test to make sure the concern has been corrected or brought back to within a acceptable range.
Diagnostic Process

A good diagnostic process is a logical sequence of steps that lead to the identification of a causal system. The following

^ Choose the appropriate flowchart.

^ Identify the operating condition that the vehicle is exhibiting.

Idle Speed Air Control Valve (ISACV)
1. Open the hood.

2. Note:
Key symptom is elevated idle speed while noise is occurring.

Note:
"Snapping" the throttle can induce the noise.

Verify the condition by operating the vehicle for a short time.

3. Inspect the ISACV. If physical evidence of contamination exists, install a new ISACV.
4.
While the noise is occurring, either place an EngineEAR probe near the ISACV and the inlet tube, or create a 6.3
5. Test the vehicle for normal operation.

All internal combustion engines and drivelines produce some noise and vibration; operating in a real world environmen
Diagnostic Theory
The shortest route to an accurate diagnosis results from:

^ system knowledge, including comparison with a known good system.

^ system history, including repair history and usage patterns.

^ condition history, especially any relationship to repairs or sudden change.

^ knowledge of probable causes

^ using a systematic diagnostic method that divides the system into related areas.

The diagnosis and correction of noise, vibration and harshness concerns requires:

^ a road or system test to determine the exact nature of the concern.

^ an analysis of the possible causes.


^ testing to verify the cause.
^ repairing any concerns found.

^ a road test or system test to make sure the concern has been corrected or brought back to within a acceptable range.
Diagnostic Process

A good diagnostic process is a logical sequence of steps that lead to the identification of a causal system. The following

^ Choose the appropriate flowchart.

^ Identify the operating condition that the vehicle is exhibiting.

Suspension Control Module: Description and Operation

DESCRIPTION
The control module has the following features:
- Power is provided by Circuit 1053 (LB/PK).
- The air suspension switch is powered through Circuit 429 (PK/LG).
- Control module ground is provided through control module wire harness Pin 6, to the RH front passenger sheet m
- (EVO)The rear air suspension control module also controls the electronic variable orifice power steering.
- The wiring harness connects to the control module using two separate push button release connectors.
- The connectors are keyed so that they cannot be installed incorrectly.

OPERATION
Control module operates as follows:
- In general the control module uses a 40.5-second averaging interval to determine when compress and vent operat
-
However, door lamp switch inputs can override the 40.5-second averaging interval so compress and vent operatio
- The 40.5-second averaging interval is used to keep the control module from making unneeded corrections.
-
When a vehicle at the correct rear trim height hits a bump, the air suspension height sensor output will read low a
- If the control module was to correct for these "bump induced readings", system duty cycle would increase unnece
-

The 40.5-second averaging interval not only eliminates corrections due to bumps, but also eliminates unneeded c
-
Vent operations are more restricted with the ignition switch in RUN. Compress operations are more restricted aft
-

- The control module does not allow any vent operations for the first 45 seconds after the ignition switch has been
- Even if a vehicle is extremely high in the rear, DO NOT expect it to vent until the ignition switch has been turned
To eliminate the chance of catching a door on a curb as the vehicle vents down, the control module will not allow

- The air suspension height sensor gets shorter when the rear of the vehicle lowers and longer when the rear of the
- Magnets mounted in the lower slide portion of the air suspension height sensor move relative to the air suspensio
-
This movement generates a signal that is sent to the control module through two small Hall effect switches attach
- he signal generated by movement of the magnets determines switch opening and closing as follows:
- At trim height, the switches remain closed and the control module receives a trim signal.
- Upward movement of the magnets will open one switch to indicate a high condition.
- Downward movement of the magnets will open the other switch to indicate a low condition.

Suspension Control Module: Description and Operation

DESCRIPTION
The control module has the following features:
- Power is provided by Circuit 1053 (LB/PK).
- The air suspension switch is powered through Circuit 429 (PK/LG).
- Control module ground is provided through control module wire harness Pin 6, to the RH front passenger sheet m
- (EVO)The rear air suspension control module also controls the electronic variable orifice power steering.
- The wiring harness connects to the control module using two separate push button release connectors.
- The connectors are keyed so that they cannot be installed incorrectly.

OPERATION
Control module operates as follows:
- In general the control module uses a 40.5-second averaging interval to determine when compress and vent operat
-
However, door lamp switch inputs can override the 40.5-second averaging interval so compress and vent operatio
- The 40.5-second averaging interval is used to keep the control module from making unneeded corrections.
-
When a vehicle at the correct rear trim height hits a bump, the air suspension height sensor output will read low a
- If the control module was to correct for these "bump induced readings", system duty cycle would increase unnece
-

The 40.5-second averaging interval not only eliminates corrections due to bumps, but also eliminates unneeded c
-
Vent operations are more restricted with the ignition switch in RUN. Compress operations are more restricted aft
-

- The control module does not allow any vent operations for the first 45 seconds after the ignition switch has been
- Even if a vehicle is extremely high in the rear, DO NOT expect it to vent until the ignition switch has been turned
To eliminate the chance of catching a door on a curb as the vehicle vents down, the control module will not allow

This movement generates a signal that is sent to the control module through two small Hall effect switches attach
- he signal generated by movement of the magnets determines switch opening and closing as follows:
- At trim height, the switches remain closed and the control module receives a trim signal.
- Upward movement of the magnets will open one switch to indicate a high condition.
- Downward movement of the magnets will open the other switch to indicate a low condition.

DESCRIPTION
The control module has the following features:
- Power is provided by Circuit 1053 (LB/PK).
- The air suspension switch is powered through Circuit 429 (PK/LG).
- Control module ground is provided through control module wire harness Pin 6, to the RH front passenger sheet m
- (EVO)The rear air suspension control module also controls the electronic variable orifice power steering.
- The wiring harness connects to the control module using two separate push button release connectors.
- The connectors are keyed so that they cannot be installed incorrectly.

OPERATION
Control module operates as follows:
- In general the control module uses a 40.5-second averaging interval to determine when compress and vent operat

However, door lamp switch inputs can override the 40.5-second averaging interval so compress and vent operatio
- The 40.5-second averaging interval is used to keep the control module from making unneeded corrections.

Diagnostic Theory
The shortest route to an accurate diagnosis results from:

^ system knowledge, including comparison with a known good system.

^ system history, including repair history and usage patterns.

^ condition history, especially any relationship to repairs or sudden change.

^ knowledge of probable causes

^ using a systematic diagnostic method that divides the system into related areas.

The diagnosis and correction of noise, vibration and harshness concerns requires:

^ a road or system test to determine the exact nature of the concern.

^ an analysis of the possible causes.


^ testing to verify the cause.
^ repairing any concerns found.

^ a road test or system test to make sure the concern has been corrected or brought back to within a acceptable range.
Diagnostic Process

A good diagnostic process is a logical sequence of steps that lead to the identification of a causal system. The following

^ Choose the appropriate flowchart.

^ Identify the operating condition that the vehicle is exhibiting.

Diagnostic Theory
The shortest route to an accurate diagnosis results from:

^ system knowledge, including comparison with a known good system.

^ system history, including repair history and usage patterns.

^ condition history, especially any relationship to repairs or sudden change.

^ knowledge of probable causes

^ using a systematic diagnostic method that divides the system into related areas.

The diagnosis and correction of noise, vibration and harshness concerns requires:

^ a road or system test to determine the exact nature of the concern.

^ an analysis of the possible causes.


^ testing to verify the cause.
^ repairing any concerns found.

^ a road test or system test to make sure the concern has been corrected or brought back to within a acceptable range.
Diagnostic Process

A good diagnostic process is a logical sequence of steps that lead to the identification of a causal system. The following

^ Choose the appropriate flowchart.

^ Identify the operating condition that the vehicle is exhibiting.

Diagnostic Theory
The shortest route to an accurate diagnosis results from:

^ system knowledge, including comparison with a known good system.

^ system history, including repair history and usage patterns.

^ condition history, especially any relationship to repairs or sudden change.

^ knowledge of probable causes

^ using a systematic diagnostic method that divides the system into related areas.

The diagnosis and correction of noise, vibration and harshness concerns requires:

^ a road or system test to determine the exact nature of the concern.

^ an analysis of the possible causes.


^ testing to verify the cause.
^ repairing any concerns found.

^ a road test or system test to make sure the concern has been corrected or brought back to within a acceptable range.
Diagnostic Process

A good diagnostic process is a logical sequence of steps that lead to the identification of a causal system. The following

^ Choose the appropriate flowchart.

^ Identify the operating condition that the vehicle is exhibiting.
