I just replaced the two front struts, two rear air shocks, and the air compressor on my 2012 Yukon Denali with all genuine GM parts, except for the pump, which is an Arnott.

Do I need to perform a suspension calibration now for my ride control to function properly?

I have a very basic code scanner from Harbor Freight. Will this do whatever might be needed? I have seen reference elsewhere to performing a Trimset Recalibration using a diagnostic scanner.

Note: My Yukon does NOT have the Z55 magnetic ride control option.

Thanks in advance!

Need is a very strong word. You don't have to, but it won't hurt anything to reset everything and let it start fresh.

I would seriously doubt your HF scanner will perform the required reset, unless it is by some chance a bidirectional scan tool.

So, your 2 front struts are passive shocks (no electrical wires connected to them)? If yes, then I don't know of any reset procedure, though it could very well be that I am not aware of such a procedure on non-Z55/Z95 suspensions.
