Diagnostic trouble code (DTC) information

Condition




The Suspension Module (SUM) receives information about the vertical position of the rear wheels from the position sensors mounted on a bracket in the body. Diagnostic trouble code (DTC) SUM-0031 or SUM-0041 is stored if the control module registers that the signal from one of the position sensors is too low when the ignition is switched on.
- SUM-0031: Left rear position sensor
- SUM-0041: Right rear position sensor.

Note! The test is carried out every other operating cycle. The Suspension module (SUM) defines an operating cycle as ignition on and ignition off.
