Battery Voltage Signal: The scan tool displays 0-26.0 volts. The battery voltage represents the system voltage measured at the controller battery input.

LF Damper Actuator Command: The scan tool displays 0-100%. This percentage represents the commanded state of the shock absorber solenoid. When the electronic suspension control (ESC) special functions is selected on the scan tool menu and the left front shock solenoid is commanded ON, the percentage will increase. When the left front shock solenoid is commanded OFF, the percentage will decrease.

LF Position Sensor: The scan tool displays 0-5.0 volts. The position sensor is a variable resistor which changes with vehicle trim height. The ESC system uses this voltage reading to determine different road and driving conditions. The ESC system adjusts the damping level in each shock absorber based upon the voltage level received back from all 4 position sensors.

LR Damper Actuator Command: The scan tool displays 0-100%. This percentage represents the commanded state of the shock absorbers. When the ESC system commands the shock absorbers ON, the percentage will increase. When the ESC system commands the shock absorbers OFF, the percentage will decrease.

LR Position Sensor: The scan tool displays 0-5.0 volts. The position sensor is a variable resistor which changes with vehicle trim height. The ESC system uses this voltage reading to determine different road and driving conditions. The ESC system adjusts the damping level in each shock absorber based upon the voltage level received back from all 4 position sensors.

RF Damper Actuator Command: The scan tool displays 0-100%. This percentage represents the commanded state of the shock absorber solenoid. When the ESC special functions is selected on the scan tool menu and the right front shock solenoid is commanded ON, the percentage will increase. When the right front shock solenoid is commanded OFF, the percentage will decrease.

RF Position Sensor: The scan tool displays 0-5.0 volts. The position sensor is a variable resistor which changes with vehicle trim height. The ESC system uses this voltage reading to determine different road and driving conditions. The ESC system adjusts the damping level in each shock absorber based upon the voltage level received back from all 4 position sensors.

RR Damper Actuator Command: The scan tool displays 0-100%. This percentage represents the commanded state of the shock absorber solenoid. When the ESC special functions is selected on the scan tool menu and the right rear shock solenoid is commanded ON, the percentage will increase. When the right rear shock solenoid is commanded OFF, the percentage will decrease.

RR Position Sensor: The scan tool displays 0-5.0 volts. The position sensor is a variable resistor which changes with vehicle trim height. The ESC system uses this voltage reading to determine different road and driving conditions. The ESC system adjusts the damping level in each shock absorber based upon the voltage level received back from all 4 position sensors.

Vehicle Speed: The scan tool displays 0-255 km/h (0-159 mph). The ESC system obtains vehicle speed data from the powertrain control module (PCM) on a dedicated input. The PCM is responsible for calculating correct vehicle speed data.
