Date: July 22, 2003
 
TECHNICAL
Subject:
Service Ride Control Message Displayed, DTC C0580 Set (Replace Right Front Shock Absorber Solenoid Connector and Install New A/C Suction Hose and Auxiliary A/C Evaporator Hose)
 
Models:
2002-2003 Cadillac Escalade
2003 Cadillac Escalade ESV
2001-2003 Chevrolet Suburban, Tahoe
2001-2003 GMC Yukon, Yukon XL
with Rear Air Conditioning System (RPO C69) and Real Time Damping Chassis Package (RPO Z55)
 
Condition
 
Some customers may comment on the Service Ride Control message being displayed. Upon investigation, the technician may find DTC C0580 set.
 
Cause
 
Poor clearance between the auxiliary A/C evaporator hose and the right front shock absorber damper solenoid connector may be the cause of this condition. Contact may occur damaging the connector and causing a poor connection at the damper solenoid.
 
Correction
 
Replace the right front shock absorber solenoid connector and install a new A/C suction hose and auxiliary A/C evaporator hose. These new A/C hoses will provide proper routing to prevent contact between the auxiliary A/C evaporator hose and the right front shock absorber damper solenoid connector. Use the procedure listed below.
 
1. Recover the refrigerant. Refer to Refrigerant Recovery and Recharging in the HVAC sub-section of the Service Manual.
 
2. Raise the vehicle. Refer to Lifting and Jacking the Vehicle in the General Information sub-section of the Service Manual.
 
3. Remove the right front wheel assembly.
 
4. Remove the right front wheelhouse panel.
 
5. Remove the nut and the auxiliary evaporator hose from the accumulator line block.
 
6. Remove the nut and the suction hose from the accumulator.
 
7. Remove the bolt and the suction hose from the compressor.
 
8. Install the new suction hose and bolt to the compressor.
 
Tighten
 
Tighten the bolt to 16 N.m (12 lb ft).
9. Install the new suction hose and nut to the accumulator.
 
Tighten
 
Tighten the nut to 16 N.m (12 lb ft).
10. Release 4 line retaining clamps, starting at the wheelhouse and along the underbody towards the rear of vehicle.
 
11. From under the vehicle, mark the location on the auxiliary evaporator line where the line will be cut. Using the forward running board bracket as a reference, mark the location inline with the bracket-to-body bolt (1). If the vehicle is not equipped with running boards, mark the location inline with the bolt hole.
 
12. Using a tubing cutter, cut the marked section of the auxiliary evaporator line.
 
13. Remove the front section of the auxiliary evaporator hose from the vehicle and discard.
 
14. Install the new front section of the auxiliary evaporator hose into the vehicle.
 
15. On both sections of the auxiliary evaporator line, cut back the plastic coating approximately 76 mm (3 in).
 
16. Splice in the new front section of the auxiliary evaporator hose using J 41425 A/C Line Repair Kit and J 41425-750 splice. Refer to the Heater and A/C Pipe Repair-Auxiliary procedure in the Service Manual.
 
17. Install the auxiliary evaporator hose to the accumulator line block and nut.
 
Tighten
 
Tighten the nut to 16 N.m (12 lb ft).
18. Secure the line retaining clamps.
 
19. Install the wheelhouse panel.
 
20. Install the wheel assembly.
 
21. Lower the vehicle.
 
22. Inject the oil into the A/C system that was removed during the recovery process using J 45037 A/C Oil Injection Kit.
 
23. Evacuate and recharge the refrigerant. Refer to Refrigerant Recovery and Recharging in the HVAC sub-section of the Service Manual.
 
24. Leak test the fitting and splice using J 39400-A Halogen Leak Detector.
 
25. Replace the right front shock absorber solenoid connector using service connector, P/N 88986417. Refer to Wiring Repairs in the Wiring Systems sub-section of the Service Manual.

HELLO, I HAVE A 2003 ESCALADE AND IN THE LAST 2 DAYS I HAVE 2 MESSAGES ON THE DASH DISPLAY. THE FIRST WAS SERVICE RIDE CONTROL, THE SECOND WAS SERVICE STABILITY ALONG WITH ABS LIGHT AND TRACTION LIGHT WITH A SLASH THROUGH IT ALSO CAME ON. I WOULD LIKE TO KNOW IF ANYONE KNOWS WHAT THESE THINGS MEAN, AND HOW EXPENSIVE THEY ARE TO REPAIR, AND IF I HAVE TO TAKE THE TRUCK IN TO THE DEALER, OR IS IT SOMETHING ANOTHER MECHANIC CAN FIX. THANKS FOR ANY HELP IN ADVANCED

Well this is information from Cadillac itself on a known problem, so it's a good first bet.

#209 of 298 2006 Escalade Transmission blew 3-4 gears by kris34

Apr 09, 2009 (11:31 pm)

The Tranny on my 06 Escalade just blew.No warning lights just lost power and said Transmission hot. I took it to the dealer all the time with the same clunking noise and lunging feel. It felt like the brake was being pushed back at you. And it would grab and pull one way. Bad hesitation when pressing on gas. Clunked when put in reverse. Dealer always said it's just the way AWD is and customer concern not duplicated. According to the service manager they never checked the tranny because no codes were set off. Now, blown, it still hasn't set off any. I have had the steering gear replaced at 48k, the front differential R&R at 48k, the power steering pump replaced at 49k, navigation and stereo both replaced twice, back glass replaced 3 times. Now with 68k on it I'm out of warranty and probably won't get any help from GM. They say I never had problems with the tranny before. But reading all the stories from others it seems like it is a major GM problem. Any suggestions? Also, does anyones roof leak? Have problems with the rear defroster cord breaking off? Lights on steering wheel not working?

I realize this post is 3 years old, but what did you find out about your differential on your 2002 Escalade? Mine is doing the exact same thing and I've just had the front differential replaced. Still not fixed. Suggestions????? It's gotten beyond frustrating!!

We too have the service stability light turn on. That does not bother us. What is really frustrating is only when we accelerate, we get this rub, rub, rub feel on the drivers side of the truck. 02 Escalade. We changed the drivers wheel bearings, new rotor for brakes, rotated tires. We have taken a few places. I hear idler arm. pitman arm.. Most want to" expirement" . That would be costly for us. Any ideas? It only happens when we accerlate, not when is is coasting.
