The position sensors are 0 to 5 volt DC output devices that are used to measure wheel-to-body movement/position. There are four position sensors on the vehicle, one per corner. Each position sensor is mounted between a suspension control arm and the body.

The Electronic Suspension Control module receives two (2) vehicle speed inputs. One input is received via a wire from the Powertrain Control Module (PCM). The other input is obtained over the CLASS 2 serial communication buss. Vehicle speed is used to determine the amount of damper control necessary.

Lift/Dive input is received from the PCM. When the Electronic Suspension Control module receives an active lift/dive input, it will command a firm damping level on all four corners. The lift signal is calculated in the PCM based on throttle position, transmission gear, vehicle speed, and brake switch status. The dive signal, also calculated in the PCM, is based upon the rate of change with the vehicle speed.
