Summary
This service bulletin provides a service procedure to correct a customer concern of a Service Front Suspension Lift System Message Displayed on Driver Information Center (DIC) with DTC C103C and/or C103E Symptom 64 Set.
Condition
Some customers may comment that they have seen a Service Front Lift System message displayed on the DIC.
Some customers may also comment on a pump noise.
Technicians may find one or more of the following DTCs set:
- C103C: Left Front Strut Position Sensor Signal
- C103E: Left Front Strut Position Sensor Signal
Symptom 64: Signal Plausibility Failure (This sub type is used for failures where the control module detects a single input parameter is operating outside the plausible range.)
Cause
Note: If there is low mileage on the vehicle or previous service work on this system has been identified, it is possible that air entrapment in the system may be causing this issue.
This condition may be caused by air entrapment in the lift system.
Correction
Attempt to operate the front lift system several times. Determine if the codes will reset or if the system will raise briefly and then sink back down. If this occurs, that may indicate that there is indeed air trapped within the front suspension lift system.
Follow the published information in SI for these DTCs, paying particularly close attention to “Test B” at the end of the flowchart:
Note: For Prime and Bleed procedures to operate correctly, system related DTCs, specifically C103C and C103E, must be moved to HISTORY.*
⇒ First perform the Prime Front Suspension Pump procedure with the scan tool two times in an attempt to purge any trapped air bubbles from the system.
⇒ Next, raise and lower the front suspension system through 5 complete cycles.
If the DTCs reset, perform the Front Hydraulic Suspension Bleed procedure within Service Information and perform an Automatic Level Control System Bleed.
Re-evaluate the concern.
The Automatic Level Control System Bleed procedure may be performed up to three times, as necessary.
As a way to double check the system, a technician can measure the distance between the floor and the lower portion of the vehicle’s front fascia.
A correctly operating vehicle should reach a front fascia height of at least 35 mm within 4 seconds of pump operation.
