SOURCE: how do i reset the SERVICE RIDE CONTROL message

THIS LIGHT IS ON BECAUSE THERE IS A PROBLEM WITH THE AIR SUSPENSION RIDE CONTROL, IT WILL GO OFF AS SOON AS U REPAIR THAT PROBLEM WHICH IS MOST LIKELY A LEAKING AIR SUSPENSION AIR BAG, THERE IS NO RESET AS THE RIDE CONTROL DOESN''T HAVE A MEMORY AND CAN'T STORE CODES, IT ONLY COMES ON WHEN A PROBLEM IS PRESENT IN REAL TIME.

What does service ride control mean on 1995 cadillac deville?

The Cadillac's have an automatic leveling system using a small compressor and air adjustable "shocks" to provide that BEAUTIFUL ride quality that they are known for. The computer has detected a fault in the system and is letting you know. It could be a faulty air line, bad shock, or a blown fuse. I hope this will give you a starting point if you are considering a repair.

What does it mean to service ride control?

When this occurs you have an problem with your ride control.You need to replace your front struts on your car.Also it can be that your vehicle may have an problem with your air shocks located in the rear of the vehicle.Sometimes,these vehicles are prone to have an slow leak out of the rear air shocks that as an result cause the service ride control warning to accumulate.

What does it mean when the dashboard reads gear indicator fault, service ride control and change oil soon even after i just got it changed along with service vehicle thats what keeps popping up on my dash...

Off the top of my head the following may be the case for your 1995 Cadillac Deville based on my 1997 Cadillac Deville knowledge:

gear indicator fault- has to do with the shift lever sensor down on the column by the feet,

service ride control- has to do with the air ride shocks in the back or the compressor in the front or the ride control height,

change oil soon- has to do with not resetting the % oil life (just press reset button for a few seconds when the oil % life is displayed)

Hope this helps you out.

Service ride control dash lights and stays on

You have one or more Electronic Shocks going bad on your vehicle suspension. The shocks are pretty expensive, about $500-600 dollars apiece from the Cadillac Dealer. If you want to turn the light off you can disconnect the battery for about 15 min. , but the Trouble Code may come on again.

Lift sensor for rear of 1988 Deville

To begin with, check the "ride level" fuse and make sure that the ride level compressor does work, and you should be able to hear that the ride level compressor is working when the ride level system is leveling the vehicle.

The ride level system uses an air compressor and either an air type of shocks or a type of air billow to raise and lower the vehicle, there is an adjustment to set the ride height and it is located under the vehicle and there is a control lever or rod that should be connected between the rear axle and a switch that is mounted on the body of the vehicle, and there will be an adjustment slot in the control lever between the switch and the body, and that is how you would adjust the ride level height, but be sure that the vehicle can not drop any further down if someone is under the vehicle trying to adjust the ride height.

However, you might find that the control lever to the ride level has fallen off from the switch on the body or it has come loose from the rear axle, and it is just hanging there not operating the switch on the body that controls the the ride level compressor, or there might be a blown out air shock or billow, or you might find that an air line from the compressor is leaking and the ride level compressor will just run continuously until it blows out the fuse, and if that is the case you might also find out that the air compressor has burned out from running continuously.

I hope that this information will help you to solve your ride level problem.

Service ride control on it sounds like air is leaking out of the rear shocks

If it sounds like the air is leaking out of both rear shocks it is probably time for a new set of shocks. If yours are original from factory. They are most likely dry rotted and full of holes. If you continue to drive the car in this condition you can plan on replacing the air compressor too. The compressor isn't meant to run continuously and it will burn up while trying to keep up.

Level sensor if the car use air suspension.
Or electronic shocks. any of those are giving the message.
You need to do a computer diagnostic. On a repair shop.
