Servicing The Cadillac Escalade Autoride System
Autoride is an electronic suspension control system that independently controls each of the four shock absorbers in order to control the vehicle ride characteristics. The electronic suspension control (ESC) system is capable of making these changes within milliseconds.
Understanding System Operation Is Key To Diagnostics
Active dampening or suspension control systems can be found on luxury Asian and European vehicles.
Active Ride Control Diagnostics
In the 1990s, adjustable valve shocks and struts were all the rage. These systems had two or three comfort and sport settings that could be changed with buttons on the dash. These systems played the role of firming up the suspension if the driver wanted a sporty feel while driving. These systems have evolved to the point where they can actively change dampening characteristics in milliseconds.
