2010 Cadillac Truck Escalade AWD V8-6.2L Page 993
The electronic suspension control (ESC) module provides a common regulated reference voltage of approximately 5 volts to all of the position
sensors. The ESC module monitors this power supply for a malfunction that could prevent it from correctly regulating the supply voltage.
Conditions for Running the DTC
* Battery voltage is between 9-16 volts
* Ignition is ON
Conditions for Setting the DTC
* The ESC module senses suspension position sensor supply voltage under 4.75 volts or over 5.25 volts.
* The condition is detected for 1 second in 4 consecutive ignition cycles.
Action Taken When the DTC Sets
* Commands speed dependent damping system and normal force signals to the default state.
* The ESC sends a message to the instrument panel cluster (IPC) to display SERVICE SUSPENSION SYSTEM message.
Conditions for Clearing the DTC
* A history DTC will clear after 100 consecutive ignition cycles if the condition for the malfunction is no longer present.
* The ESC module senses the correct sensor supply voltage.
* The IPC clearing DTC feature.

Circuit/System Verification
Ignition ON, observe the scan tool Position Sensor Data parameters. The readings should vary between 0.35-4.75 volts while the vehicle is jounced.
Circuit/System Testing
1. Ignition OFF, disconnect the harness connector at all 4 suspension position sensors.
2. Ignition ON, test for 4.75-5.25 volts between the 5 volt reference circuit terminal A and ground at each sensor connector.
锟斤拷If less than the specified range, test the 5 volt reference circuit for a short to ground or an open/high resistance. If all circuits test normal,
replace the ESC module.
锟斤拷If greater than the specified range, test the 5 volt reference circuit for a short to voltage. If the circuit tests normal, replace the ESC
module.
3. Reinstall each sensor, one at a time, while verifying for 4.75-5.25 volts between the 5 volt reference circuit terminal A and ground of the last
sensor connector to be connected.
锟斤拷If the voltage is out of the range when one of the 3 sensors are connected, test or replace the suspect suspension position sensor.
