Diagnostic Steps

1

Step 1: Inspect the rear low-range height sensor and verify the linkage arm is intact and moves with suspension travel.

2

Step 2: Check the sensor connector for corrosion, water intrusion, and proper pin engagement.

3

Step 3: Verify 5V reference and ground at the sensor connector.

4

Step 4: Manually move the sensor arm while monitoring the signal voltage — expect a smooth, linear sweep.

5

Step 5: Replace the sensor if the signal is absent or erratic, clear codes, and calibrate the system.
