REPAIR INSTRUCTIONS 

TRIM HEIGHT CALIBRATION PROCEDURE 

1. Depressurize the air suspension system to lower rear of vehicle. Refer to Air Suspension 

Depressurization Procedure .  

2. Raise and support rear of vehicle at D height. 132 mm (5.2 in).

3. The D height is obtained by measuring the distance between the edge of the jounce cup along the jounce 

bumper center line and the jounce pad on the rear axle.  

4. With the scan tool perform the calibrate trim height procedure in air suspension special functions.  

5. Check scan tool data list for trim height learned. Typical data value will be YES.  

6. If trim height was not accepted the typical data value will be NO and DTC C0569 will set.
