Autoride bypass

Here’s an Amazon link but like @Scrappycrow said, just search your favorite shopping place for resistors with those specs with the aluminum fins to dissipate heat.

Thanks!

Swapped out all 4 autoride shocks for Bilstein 5100's over the weekend and soldered and sleeved 4 of these resistors onto the sensor wires:

Still getting "service suspension system" error but I don't think it's because of the shock sensors. Pretty sure it something to do with the compressor itself (compressor exhaust to be exact). Anyone know if it's possible to just completely delete this component from the ECU using a programmer?

Also would like to ask anyone who has experience with the Bilstein 5100 install - does the front "settle" at all over time? I adjusted them as tall as they would go and I'm riding slightly higher in the front than the back. It doesn't look terrible but I'd obviously like it to be even. If it doesn't even itself out after 1k miles or so I'll probably buy some spacers for the rear coils to level it out.

EDIT: Here's a pic for reference:

Ours looked the same with the nose, just a bit higher. We ended up pulling the 3/4” lift wedges out of the front suspension. But, we had to put airspring airbags in the back to level the car because we tow.

Hi guys, I’ve got some codes I’m not sure of. Can anyone help me decipher these codes?

Sorry, I should have given more details. Autoride is totally gone and I believe there are resistors all around. We put airbags in the rear springs for added support because we tow.

I was asking earlier about what resistors to get but upon further inspection, I believe the resistors are already in place. Perhaps they have failed? Should I replace the resistors or is there some other function that I need to address that still thinks it should be operational?

This weekend, I will look at the auto level sensors on all four wheels and make sure that they are plugged in correctly. I can also measure them to see if they’re in the correct range, but I’m not sure what range that should be.

We get “service suspension” on the console at every start, but other than that no problems that we can detect so just an aggravation, not really an issue!

If I'm reading correctly you're in a 2007?

According to this: when the ride height sensors are in their "all good here" range they should be sending 1.5v - 4v back to the ESCM (or allowing 1.5-4 to pass through?), with dead center being 2.5v. Any higher or lower and the command would be sent to activate compressor and raise or open the valves and release air to lower...

I've read this in at least one other place, however this is the only bookmark I have for it. The only reason I mention this is because this page refers to Z55 as MagneRide. To best of my knowledge this is incorrect. Z55 is AutoRide, Z95 is MagneRide. Also, this site recommends a different size resistor than is previously suggested in this thread.

Hope this helps?

Nice! Yes, 2007 Yukon Denali 6.2. All the autoride was already gone when we bought it. We did add manual airbags because we tow and those are working out great. Just the one error message on startup. Easy to cancel and it never comes back til we start up again. Just an annoyance. Thanks!

Yes, 2007 Denali with a 6.2. It’s at the shop now and I haven’t had a chance to look at the suspension. Too many things and not enough time. I will check things out hopefully this weekend. Thanks guys!

Actually, this really might be the answer I needed. Those little clips are just dangling around and not tied up at all. How sensitive is this suspension? Would it actually recognize that those are shifting and moving as we drive? Crazy stuff! I’ll zip tie them up somewhere so they are stable and see if that helps.

pretty sensitive.. I would secure them somewhere.. Glad someone got some use out of it lol
