Re: Service ride control (myscx)
My light comes on sometimes like when I hit the brakes hard or when I take a corner hard and sometimes for no reason at all. Anyone have any ideas? Last year it was doing it more and as the year went on it did it less . Sometimes it happens if someone is sitting on the passenger seat. This year when I took it out it didn't do it at all but now its doing it again.(I put my car away in the winter.) :confused: :banghead: :crazy:

12 = Start of sequence
13 = Left rear time out
14 = Right Front time out
21 = Left Front time out
22 = Right Rear time out
31 = Left Front out of position
32 = Right Front out of position
33 = Left Rear out of position
34 = Right Rear out of position
Out of position codes are triggered if the computer senses that the actuator has not found the end stop position on the shock. Remove actuator at the indicated shock. Turn the valve gear on the shock stops after about 3 / 4 of turn, then you have a bad actuator. If it spins around continuously then it is a bad shock.
Let us know what it turns out to be. It also helps to have a second person around to watch the actual actuator itself when it's removed to see if it spins when you turn the key to the "on" position.
Last question, have the shocks been removed and reinstalled recently?

Re: Service ride control (Jeffvette)
I'm with jeff on this......however one simple check first is to see if the NUT that hold the shock down is torqued down far enough. This can cause the actuator not to seat properly. TRY THIS FIRST and while doing this look to see if any of jeff's responses also apply

Re: Service ride control (Jeffvette)
I know this is probaly a dumb question, but how do you get the actuator off? The shocks have never been removed to my knowledge. Thanks for your help I need all I can get!!!!!! :banghead:

To remove, look for a silver clip that is around the base of the actuator. it's a C clip (or jesus clip cause you yell "Jesus!" when it flies off) just find one of the ends and pull back on it. Once you have removed it, you can lift the actuator off. You can wiggle it a little to help as well.

Re: Service ride control (kittmaster)
I haven't had time to check it yet. If I were having trouble with an actuator or a shock wouldn't the light be on all the time? There are lots of times that the system works fine,I turn the control switch and can feel it stiffen up or soften up without the light coming on. And then something happens like I brake hard or take a corner quick and then the light comes on. :confused:
