Anyone replaced one of these and can tell me where it is located and what it looks like. I've got an active code for a R Rear Position Sensor Malfunction. TIA

 

Post the code for more complete info. And year of car.

 

You mean you don't know what the right rear position sensor is?

 

Yea Lucky, I know what the right rear is, and I know a position or two!

 

 

2001. code is C0630

 

Suspension Position Sensor-LF
LH front wheelhouse forward of the shock absorber

Suspension Position Sensor - LR
LH rear wheelhouse front of the control arm

DTC C0615, C0620, C0625 or C0630
Circuit Description
The ESC module supplies 8 volts to the position sensors. The position sensors use the supplied 8 volts to produce an analog output range of 0 - 5 volts. The ESC module calculates vehicle suspension settings based upon the voltage levels received back from the position sensors. The ESC model monitors for an out of range condition.

Conditions for Running the DTC
The ignition ON.
The RTD function enabled.
Conditions for Setting the DTC
The ESC module senses position sensor output voltage under 0.35 or over 4.75 volts.
The condition must be detected for 1 second in 4 consecutive ignition cycles.
Action Taken When the DTC Sets
Stores a DTC C0615, C0620, C0625 or C0630 in the ESC memory.
Provides shock absorber solenoid control based on the vehicle speed only.
Sends a message to the IPC to display the SERVICE RIDE CONTROL message.
Conditions for Clearing the DTC
The ESC module senses the correct position sensor output voltage between 0.35 - 4.75 volts.
A history DTC will clear after 100 consecutive ignition cycles if the condition for the malfunction is no longer present.
Use the IPC clearing DTC feature.
Using a scan tool.
Diagnostic Aids
The following conditions may cause an intermittent malfunction to occur:
There is an intermittent open or short in the position sensor circuit.
Bent, disconnected, or damaged position sensor linkage.
When using a scan tool in order to read position sensor voltage, always make sure the vehicle is sitting with the full vehicle weight on its wheels. Measuring position sensor voltage with the vehicle raised and the wheels hanging may lead to incorrect diagnosis.
An intermittent DTC C0615, C0620, C0625 or C0630 may produce a random firm/soft ride condition.
The ESC module uses an ignition cycle counter diagnosis approach to set this DTC. This requires the ESC module to detect a malfunction 4 times before setting the DTC. To disable this feature, use a scan tool to clear all DTCs before performing diagnosis procedures.
If the DTC is a history DTC, the problem may be intermittent. Using a scan tool, monitor the position sensor voltage while test driving the vehicle or moving the wiring and connectors. This can often cause the malfunction to occur.

 

Tks. Now I just need to find the damn thing.

 

Gotta LOVE active handling.

 

that's what I was trying to tell Lucky.

 

Anyone got a diagram that shows this sensor?

 

 

#3 is the sensor

 

Doesn't have anything to do with Active Handling. AH is a feature of the ABS brakes and is not suspension related.

We knew that Bill! Sometimes there is a little joking going on. A big grin is good for your health.
