C1767

Moderate

Air Suspension Rear Height Sensor Low Signal Circuit Short To Battery

What Does C1767 Mean?

The rear air suspension height sensor low-range signal circuit is shorted to battery voltage. The module sees a constant high voltage instead of a variable height signal on this circuit. Rear fine-level height control is disabled.

Common Causes

35%

Signal wire chafed against a positive power wire in the harness

Wiring Harness
Wire Loom

25%

Connector corrosion bridging signal pin to power pin

Height Sensor Connector
Connector Pins

25%

Internal sensor failure causing high signal output

Rear Height Sensor (Low Range)

15%

Aftermarket wiring splice creating a short to power

Wiring Harness

Diagnostic Steps

1

Step 1: Disconnect the sensor and check if battery voltage is present on the signal wire at the harness side.

2

Step 2: Disconnect at the module end and check the harness for a signal-to-power short.

3

Step 3: Trace the harness for physical damage, especially where it runs alongside power feeds.

4

Step 4: Test the sensor for an internal short between signal and power pins.

5

Step 5: Repair the short or replace the sensor, clear codes, and calibrate.

Estimated Repair Cost

$150 - $500
