I changed my oil today, and now I get:
Service ride control
Shocks inoperative
Maximum Speed 80 mph

I did lift the car for the oil change. Could I have damaged something to cause this problem?

When the car was lifted, the shocks were fully extended (I guess). Could this have done something? I have approx 35,000 miles.
I checked the connectors on the shocks as another member suggested. I even removed the battery, hoping to reset the computer. Any other suggestions?
This is driving me nuts, because the error appears every 10 minutes!!

One more piece of info, I washed the car after the oil change. Could I have gotten water somewhere it shouldn't go???

 

Does anyone know what the service manual says about this issue? Thanks,

 

Have you checked the DTC for codes? If not, check to see if it set a code. If you have a code, post it here and I'll look it up in my manual.

 

Thank you for the help! I'm kinda new to the forum, so I'm not sure how to check for the DTC code, but I'll keep searching

ok, I figured out how to get the codes
38-RTD NO COMM.
B2282H
B2284H
U1064H
U1096H
B2283H
U1016H
B2285H

Thank you for the help!

 

Ok, this is what the Service Manual says about each one of your codes:

B2282 - Battery #1 Fault DCM-Left (LH Door Control Module)

B2283 - Battery #1 Fault DCM-Right (RH Door Control Module)

B2284 - Battery #2 Fault DCM-Left (LH Door Control Module)

B2285 - Battery #2 Fault DCM-Right (RH Door Control Module)

ACTION: 1. Disconnect the left DCM. Measure the voltage from the DCM connector C3 terminal A to ground. Is the voltage within specified range? 10.0V - 14.0V If not, then it recommends replacing the DCM.

As far as the other codes:

U1016 - Loss of Communications with PCM (PCM = Powertrain Control Module)

U1064 - Loss of Communications with BCM (BCM = Body Control Module)

U1096 - Loss of Communications with IPC (IPC = Instrument Panel Cluster)

I would highly recommend taking it to a shop (or Dealership) that has a Tech2 - Scan Tool. You're having certain electrical problems that are affecting other parts of the car. Unfortunately you're starting to experience the same kind of Electrical/Computer problems that I have lately. My Stall Converter wouldn't stay locked-up on the freeway,......I later found out it was a bad "Right Front Oxygen Sensor" that was causing it.

I'm sure this didn't help you much in understanding why it would say: SERVICE RIDE CONTROL, but as I mentioned...... if you're having a problem with something in particular, it's possible that it's being caused by something completely different within your car. I hope you're able to get it figured out soon!

 

Thanks for the advice. I'll keep you posted...
