Default C5-Tech Can the F45 shock be tested?

So can the F45 shock be tested to see if it is functioning within spec?

If a shock is faulty,a RTD (real time dampning) fault code should be set and can be acessed through the DIC...You can also disconnect the shock electrical terminal and measure the resistance across the 2 terminals...Should be 9.5-15.5 ohms :yesnod:

I guess I had a similar question -- does a code get set if the shock is just simply worn out? Or does it have to be defective?

Thanks.
