I have been troubleshooting a right front problem on my 91. I had a right front out of position fault originally. I found a broken adjuster on the right front shock.
I recently had all the shocks replaced and the light went out initially. On the drive home I was trying out the different switch settings. No problem on touring or sport modes but when I went to performance mode the light came back on. *&^%$#@! This time it was code 14, right front time out.
I discovered that the actuator on the right front was only cycling intermittently so I swapped it with the left front actuator. The problem remained in the right front so it is not the actuator. I made the following checks per the manual.
Voltage:
"E" to GND = 5.03V
"E" to "A" = 4.97V
"D" to "A" = 4.97V
these measurements were good according to the book.
Resistance on right front:
"B" to GND = 3.4M ohm
"C" to GND = 3.4M ohm
I also checked the resistance on the left front for comparison since there was no value given in the book:
"B" to GND = 2.7M ohm
"C" to GND = 2.7M ohm
There were no open lines or shorts to ground.
Has anyone had intermittent operating conditions? The dealer want $1700 for a new ride control computer. I'm hoping I have a wiring problem instead.
Thanks,
Kurt
