C1910

Moderate

Ride Control RF Shock Actuator Circuit Open

What Does C1910 Mean?

The ride control module has detected an open circuit in the right front shock actuator control circuit. A complete break exists in the wiring or connector, preventing the module from controlling the RF damper solenoid.

Common Causes

35%

Broken wire in the RF shock actuator harness from engine bay heat degradation or vibration fatigue

RF Shock Actuator Harness
Harness Loom

30%

Disconnected or backed-out terminal at the actuator connector

Actuator Connector
Terminal Pins

25%

Open solenoid coil inside the RF shock actuator

RF Shock Actuator Solenoid

10%

Terminal corrosion creating high resistance at contact surfaces

Connector Terminals
Weather Seals

Diagnostic Steps

1

Step 1: Check the RF shock actuator connector for disconnection. Ensure full engagement and lock tab closure.

2

Step 2: Measure solenoid resistance at the connector. OL confirms internal actuator failure.

3

Step 3: Test wire continuity from actuator connector to ride control module connector.

4

Step 4: Inspect the harness near the shock tower, strut mount, and engine bay routing for heat damage or abrasion.

5

Step 5: Repair opens with proper sealed connections and verify actuator operation.

Estimated Repair Cost

$150 - $850
