AFFECTED VEHICLES:

DESCRIPTION:
Battery drainage can occur on vehicles equipped with Active Suspension and subwoofer prep if the connectors for the SUM (SUspension Module) and the prewired SUB (SUBwoofer) are swapped. The SUM will remain active and the current draw will be approximately 80 - 400 mA. The vehicle will not go into sleep mode as there will be activity on HS CAN (High Speed
CAN network).





The connectors for SUM and SUB are in close proximity to one another and are interchangeable.

SERVICE:

^ The connector for SUM has a green-white cable for 12 volt power and a green-black cable for a ground connection. The SUM is powered via a relay (RB1, 2/88), and there shall be no power on this cable when the key is out.





^ The connector for SUB has a red-grey cable for 12 volt power and a black cable for the ground connection. The SUB is powered directly via 30-feed, and there is constant power to this cable
