Eliminate Autoride Message light

[warrlac]

Can someone help me defeat the Autoride warning message on my 2001 Tahoe LT? I ditched the Autoride system for regular shocks.

Arnott Industries sells a Coil Spring and Shock Conversion kit that includes something called a "Spoofer" that gets wired into the Autoride controller. Does anyone have any experience with it?

Someone just said to pull the RTD fuse. I've heard conflicting reports on whether this works. Is there a sequence to it? I also heard about putting resistors on the Autoride sensor inputs???

Thanks!

If you just wanna disable it, pull the Neg on the battery and then pull the RTD fuse under the hood. Hook the Neg back up and you wont have any more error message.

Thanks for the info

What else does pulling the RTD fuse do?

Thanks for the quick feedback!!

I can't help but wonder what else is being disabled when the RTD fuse is pulled?

Put another way, why would someone go to the trouble to "spoof" the Autoride controller even when the autoride shocks and sensors are removed?

Maybe I can download an OEM repair manual on-line?

Pulling the rtd fuse has no ill-effects other than disabling the autoride system.

And it will say "Service Ride Control" in the DIC when you pull that fuse out.

Not when properly power cycled. Mine has been off forever.

When I pulled my RTD fuse the service ride control message stopped coming up but my A/C would only blow hot air. Then as soon as I put the fuse back in the A/C started blowing cold again?

 

[Alex33]

Interesting. The two should not be connected. I know myself, Max and others have pulled the fuse and eliminated the autoride completely with no adverse effects.

Yea I can't imagine why the A/C would have anything to do with the same thing as the autoride and suspension. I will have to try it again and see what happens. It is just the green 30 amp fuse located in the front of the fuse box under the hood labeled RTD correct?

Well I tried it again this evening and it worked out perfect this time. Just pulled the fuse and when I hooked the battery back up the message was gone and the A/C was still blowing cold this time. Thanks guys.

Glad you got it right

RTD fuse

Just so everyone knows this fuse is also for the speed sensitive steering.

 

[05whitenali]

What does the speed sensitive steering do? Also, I have been searching a little and can't seem to find it yet, but is there any way to get the tire pressure monitor message to stop coming up?

 

[Alex33]

In general, a speed sensitive steering system will adjust the power assist with speed, e.g. at slow speeds you'll get more assistance than at higher speeds. I did not notice a difference in steering when I removed mine.

great i cant wait to try this on my burban! thanks for the info and i also would love to know how to do away with the tire pressure message

 

[BTRStang]

Thanks for the info will do it to mine in the morning! Also any info on the tire pressure warning.... Would like to turn it off also....

i just removed the fuse today and had a similar problem. my front a/c stopped working all together while my rear a/c was just fine! i removed and replaced the fuse a few times then finally my front a/c blew HOT air then went to cold air and is now blowing cold. after a mission trying out all the fuses

Worked like a charm for me, even seem to help some other memory functions like the seat exit function, Prior to doing this my seat would buckle about, now it pulls right back with out a problem......
