• Poor ride quality
• Uneven vehicle height
• Suspension warning light on dashboard
• Faulty suspension position sensor
• Damaged wiring or connectors
• Corroded electrical connections
Suspension: The system of springs, shock absorbers, and linkages that connects a vehicle to its wheels.
Sensor: A device that detects or measures a physical property and records, indicates, or otherwise responds to it.
• C0521
• C0522
This code means there's a problem with one of the car's sensors that helps control the suspension, which is like the car's legs that keep it balanced and smooth on the road.
The C0524 code indicates an issue with the suspension position sensor circuit, which affects the vehicle's ability to maintain proper ride height and comfort.
C0524 is a chassis code related to the suspension position sensor circuit. It typically indicates a malfunction or fault in the electrical circuit of the sensor, which is responsible for monitoring the position of the suspension system.
• Inspect the suspension position sensor for damage.
• Check wiring and connectors for signs of wear or corrosion.
• Use a multimeter to test the sensor's electrical circuit.
• Replace the faulty suspension position sensor.
• Repair or replace damaged wiring or connectors.
• Clean corroded connections and apply dielectric grease.
• Multimeter
• Socket set
• Wire stripper/crimper

Moderate
• Chevrolet Tahoe
• GMC Yukon
• Cadillac Escalade
• Regularly inspect suspension components.
• Keep electrical connections clean and dry.
• Avoid driving over rough terrain at high speeds.
Sensor Issue
• Have your vehicle inspected by a professional if you notice unusual ride behavior.
• Regular maintenance can prevent future issues.
Check your vehicle's warranty booklet; suspension components may be covered under certain conditions.
This code has been associated with vehicles equipped with electronically controlled suspension systems, particularly in models from the early 2000s onward.
Moderate – While the vehicle is still drivable, it may not handle optimally, especially on uneven surfaces.
Ignoring suspension issues can lead to decreased vehicle control and increased stopping distances.
• Vehicle parked on level ground
• Ignition in the 'ON' position
The suspension position sensor is typically located near the wheel well or on the suspension strut assembly.
Q: What happens if I ignore the C0524 code?
A: Ignoring this code can lead to poor ride quality and potentially unsafe driving conditions.
Q: Can I drive with a C0524 code?
A: Yes, but it's advisable to address the issue soon to ensure optimal vehicle handling and comfort.
