Hello,

Actually all you need is a #20 torx screwdriver, a flat screwdriver and maybe a pair of needle nose pliers, but it can be done without the pliers if need be. The level of difficulty is hard to say since everyone has different and unique skills, but generally on a scale of 1 to 10 I`d say is likely a 2 - 3 depending on ones skills.

May I also inquire as to why you`re replacing the control ? Are you aware that typically the only thing which causes an error is the heater relay solder joint or the plastic tabs breaking off the casing which houses the control ? Did you know both are repairable ?

Anyway, just curiosity on my part, I digress.

**SAFETY FIRST - turn off the circuit breaker to the dishwasher before attempting any repairs or service to the unit**

I have a complete training manual I can send you if you`d like it, but you`d need to provide your email address, I can`t post it here it is adobe "pdf".

1) Remove the screws along both sides of the door panel until it is able to be removed, there will be either 2 plastic blocks which will fall out or molded styrofoam inside the panel, set the blocks and panel aside out of your way.

2) remove the screws around the perimeter of the control leaving the 2 ( one on each side ) facing away from the panel for the last.

3) once all the screws are removed the control fascia will be ready to pull away from the inner stainless steel door skin.

4) the fascia ( plastic cover with buttons/control face ) can now be separated from the inner control panel frame. If you observe closely you`ll notice it is only held together with tabs which need to be gently pulled away from the metal frame and then the fascia should pull off.

You should now be left with just a metal frame with the latch, power switch & rod and control board held in it.

5) All the wires in the bottom of the control will typically only go in one place, but it`s best to take a photo or mark them anyway...better sure than sorry right ? Remove the wires.

5) the plastic control casing is held into this metal frame only be tabs as well, push them inwards on one side and tilt the entire control back ( like it where hinged) and it will come right out.

6) This step should be much easier now that you`ve gained experience during the dis-assembly, reverse the steps to re-assemble it.

**if your door panel had the plastic blocks, they can be a pain to put back for one not experienced. The easiest way is to leave the two side screws out of the control panel to give it room to move into place at the top first and then down over the blocks.**

If you need help we`ll cross that bridge when we get there, get the control issue looked after first.

Let me know how you make out and if you want that service manual I can send you via email, it`s not very big...maybe 6MB or so.

Good luck

    Hello again,



    Just was wondering about how you made out with your control replacement, so I thought I'd try to do a follow-up. Did you get the control replaced, or repaired ?



    Please let me know here at "fixya" so I can stop wondering, ha ha !



    Hope you where successful in any event.

    I'm having trouble with my Bosch SHX46B02UC/14 dishwasher. Original problem was 3.5 hour cycle time due to a solder joint burned out on the pc board. Repaired that and the dw wouldn't do anything more than hum intermittently and leave some water standing in the basin. Replaced the control module. Still doing the same thing. I was wondering if you could offer some insight and send the service manual you mentioned. If so, my email is [email protected]. Thanks for any guidance you might give me.

2005 yukon denali Air ride compressor not working

Anonymous wrote the right answer.

Anonymous Jan 02, 2022

What kind of scan tool ? Will it scan all the modules on the vehicle or is it just OBD2 type ? Did you check wiring diagrams an test electrical circuits for air ride an test with a DVOM - digital volt ohmmeter ? Do you know how to test ALC relay circuits . You replaced a bunch of parts that probably were not needed (,air ride compressor, fuses and ALC relay and the compressor still won't work ) ?

Which of these does your vehicle have

Automatic Level Control
Electronic Suspension Control (ESC)
The vehicles rear leveling compressor motor is switched on and off via a compressor motor relay which is controlled by the suspension control module. The suspension control module provides a switched path to ground whenever compressor activity is required. The suspension control module continually monitors the compressor motor relay circuitry to determine if the voltage level agrees with the commanded state.

DTC C0655 Level Control Compressor Circuit

DTC C0660 Level Control Exhaust Valve Circuit

The exhaust solenoid valve is switched on and off via the suspension control module. The suspension control module provides a switched path to ground whenever exhaust activity is required and during a compressor "head-relief" sequence which occurs at compressor start-up if system pressure is lower than 68.95 kPa (10 psi). The suspension control module continually monitors the exhaust solenoid valve circuitry to determine if the voltage level agrees with the commanded state.

DTC C0711 Level Control Air Pressure Sensor Circuit

Circuit Description
The suspension control module uses a 5-volt analog air pressure sensor to determine the amount of air pressure in the automatic level control (ALC ) system. The valid signal voltage range of the sensor is 0.15-4.85 volts. The sensor signal voltage will increase and decrease within the valid voltage range as system pressure increases and decreases.


Your best bet ,take it to a qualified repair shop that knows what they are doing .

Front seat heated seats won't turn off on 2006 Cadillac Escalade

Heated Seat System Operation
The driver and passenger heated seats have 2 heat zone operating modes with 3 heat level modes and will operate only while the engine is running. The heat zones are determined by which of the 2 heated seat buttons are pressed, while the heat level is determined by the number of times they are pressed. Pressing the seat cushion button 1 time will activate the seat back and cushion heater elements in the high mode. Each time the seat cushion button is pressed the seat back and cushion heat level is reduced from high to medium, low, and off. Pressing the heated seat back button 1 time will activate only the seat back heater element in the high mode. Each time the seat back button is pressed the seat back heat level is reduced from high to medium, low, and off. During heated seat operation the heat zone operating mode may be changed without affecting the current heat level mode.
The heated seat switches are momentary contact switches and are inputs to the driver and passenger door modules. Battery voltage is supplied to the switch assembly from the door module, and when a heated seat switch is pressed and released a brief switch signal voltage is supplied to the door module. Whenever the door module receives an active heated seat switch input, the next heated seat operating mode is determined by whatever the current mode may be. The seat heater elements are controlled by the driver seat module using inputs from the door modules through Class 2 serial data circuit messages. The driver seat module controls the voltage supply and the ground circuits to the seat heater elements. When a heated seat function is commanded active, the seat module will switch battery voltage to the heater element supply circuits, and ground is provided through low side drive control circuits. During heated seat operation both the seat back and cushion heater elements are supplied battery voltage. The seat module grounds the appropriate control circuits for back only or back and cushion heating modes, and opens or closes the active control circuits as necessary in order to maintain the desired seat temperature. The seat module relies on inputs from thermistors located in the driver and passenger seat backs to control heated seat temperatures. The thermistors are 2 wire sensors supplied with a 5-volt referenced signal circuit and a low reference circuit from the seat module. Resistance through the thermistors varies with temperature causing the heated seat sensor signal circuit voltage levels to decrease as the seat back temperatures rise. The seat modules allow heated seat operation only while the engine is running which is determined by a Class 2 serial data circuit message from the powertrain control module.

Heated Seat Components
The heated seat system consists of the following components:
• Driver and passenger heated seat switches
• Driver and passenger seat back heater elements
• Driver and passenger seat cushion heater elements
• Driver and passenger seat back temperature sensors
• Driver seat module
• Driver door module
• Passenger door module

2003 Cadillac coupe DeVille . Diagnostic code RIM C0655. Where do I start?

DTC C0655
Level Control Compressor Relay Malfunction .
You start by doing the diagnostic tests for that code .
Circuit Description
The automatic level control adjusts the vehicle suspension ride height. The RIM determines the height of the vehicle based on the voltage from the automatic level control sensor. The RIM grounds the compressor relay and the exhaust control solenoid to raise and lower the vehicle in order to keep the vehicle level.

Diagnostic Aids
• Inspect all wiring harnesses carefully for chaffs and proper routing. Refer to Testing for Intermittent Conditions and Poor Connections in Wiring Systems.
• This circuit is monitored before every functional operation of the compressor relay output. If a compressor relay fault is detected, the RIM retries the output every 15 seconds to try to recover from the fault.

Your probably not going to be able to do the factory diagnostics unless you have a factory scan tool to turn on an off the relay . You can test with a volt meter at the relay for B+ voltage and control from the RIM - Rear Integration Body Control Module. Do you know what a relay is and how it works ?

How to turn off unwanted dash lights and have gas gauge work on 2003 Saturn L200 ?

What unwanted dash light's ? Gas gauge sending unit in the fuel tank could be bad or the gauge it self could be bad . Installing a scan tool first off an checking for DTC'S - diagnostic trouble codes is the place to start . GM had bad step motors inside the instrument cluster . Year's 2003 to 2006 . Videos on youtube show how to replace. can buy at amazon.com .

Low Fuel
The low fuel telltale is turned ON by the cluster when it receives a command from the body control module (BCM) (L81) engine or the powertrain control module (PCM) (L61) engine. The cluster will turn the LED ON when the fuel level in the tank reaches approximately 1.5 gallons.
The low fuel telltale will be turned ON by the cluster for 2-3 seconds, when the ignition is turned to RUN, for a visual system check.

Fuel Gage
The input information for the fuel gauge is sent over the Class 2 serial data link by the body control module (BCM) on V6 (L81) engine appications. Information is sent by the PCM on the 4 cylinder (L61) engine applications to the BCM. The cluster will position the needle on the gauge based on the fuel level information sent by the BCM.

Install a scan tool.
Turn ON the ignition, with the engine OFF.
With a scan tool, observe the Fuel Level parameter in the Powertrain Fuel and Emissions list.
Does the scan tool indicate that the Fuel Level parameter is greater than the specified value?
If you do not have a professional scan tool your best bet , take your vehicle to a qualified repair shop .

Machine says "I need service"

66. (01000001) Pressure Transducer Error [Ptx Frequency > 90 kHz]
Note: this supersedes Fault code 65 from V41 Motor controller code onwards.
The Motor Control module has received signals from the water level sensor (Ptx)
above normal frequency values.
Primary Source: Motor Control module
Action: Replace Motor Control module

I took this from the service repair manual. Hope it helps.

HI error code 66 means you have a pressure transducer out of range error.This means that the control module is faulty and needs replacing.please confirm that the error code is numbered 66. On some machines the pressure switch is seperated and sometimes the plastic tub for the switch gets clogged up and blowing through it will sometims clear this fault. Not sure about this particular machine, but you can try adjusting water level to see if it will work at a different level of water.
