Circuit Description

The CVRSS control module estimates the road surface and communicates that information to the Electronic Brake and Traction Control Module (EBTCM) using the ICCS2 Datalink Left and Right Outputs. The EBTCM uses this information to provide improved rough-road braking performance.

Conditions for Setting the DTC

The DTC is set when the CVRSS control module measures a feedback voltage greater than a preset threshold during an ICCS2 Datalink Left Output ON state.

The DTC turns HISTORY when the CVRSS control module no longer senses a high feedback voltage during five (5) consecutive ICCS2 Datalink Left Output ON states.

Action Taken When the DTC Sets

    • Both of the ICCS2 Datalink Outputs are set to default output states.
    • The SERVICE RIDE CONTROL message will be displayed.

Conditions for Clearing the MIL/DTC

    • Use the scan tool.
    • Use the On-Board diagnostic CLEAR RSS CODES feature.

Test Description

Important: 

   • Do not backprobe the sensors, actuators, or any sealed connectors.
   • When all the diagnostics and repairs are complete, clear the DTCs and verify the operation.

The number(s) below refer to the step number(s) on the diagnostic table.

  1. Turn the ignition OFF.
  2. Replace the CVRSS control module. Refer to Electronic Suspension Control Module Replacement .
  3. Install all of the connectors and components that were removed.
  4. Install the scan tool.
  5. Turn the ignition ON with the engine off.
  6. Important: The controller must be calibrated.

  7. Calibrate the CVRSS service controller using the scan tool. Refer to Electronic Suspension Control Module Calibration .
