PERMANENTLY DISABLING "SERVICE RIDE CONTROL" ON MY 2006 YUKON DENALI FOR FREE 

God kill me butchering up a vehicle cuz you're too cheap to make the proper repair here it is you have a luxury vehicle that is air ride suspension and you're going to cut off one of the main features of the vehicle which is a comfy ride makes no sense whatsoever the sadly enough I bought a vehicle from the auction Just for kicks and giggles I have spent so much money making repairs to this vehicle because people that don't like to spend the money to make It prepares that they should make why do you think the vehicle cost you all that money in the beginning if you bought a vehicle brand new can you drive with 150,000 MI and the parts begin to go bad you got your freaking money's worth so to keep getting your money's worth you make the proper repairs so now you have it paid off vehicle that still has a comfy ride because you repaired the systems they keep it comfortable what's my 99 Blazer I spent over $4,000 in repairs cheap lazy people all of the rotors pads and calipers fuel pump radiator water pump those are things I've already done net including the upper and lower radiator hose now I'm getting ready to do the transmission which needs to be rebuilt the shock absorbers in the upper control arms transmission was murdered by the radiator what is a singular that General Motors makes put your transmission on a cooler by itself radiators that cool your transmission fluid will eventually destroy a transmission what happened to me was the transmission cooler started leaking inside the radiator so transmission fluid was getting in the radiator radiator fluid was getting in the transmission which interns killed the transmission I've already replaced the radiator no I'm not complaining about spending some money cuz I don't mind funny thing is people continually ask me stupid butt questions my 94 pickup I ran it over $300,000 me because I kept replacing the parts with Quality Parts flick of the key starts the first time every time no my blazer toy I like the fact that's got the 4.3 V6 383 but I really don't think so because the 4.3 is it's just two cylinders cut off of a 350 but as far as all the repairs that I've made to it is shock absorbers upper control arms replace the transmission oil rebuild the transmission in the upper control arms in a complete set of tires and wheels has anybody that has one of those vehicles I employ you get rid of the 15-inch wheels that are on it nobody cares the tires on in stock get a flat you're in deep doo-doo cuz you have to wait for them to order your tires and your chances to go into a used tire shop to find one you'll be lucky if you can find one so I'm going to replace the wheels with six teams I'm going to finish making the repairs and Replacements that need to be happen but the fuel pump was 1000 bucks by itself and I think that's what the tears a lot of people from making certain repairs on keeping a vehicle but I mean if you actually think about it if you make the repairs as they come up my 94 is gone jackasses took that while I was in the hospital fighting for my life I was in the hospital for over a month State took my vehicle impounded it so it was all my freaking tools and everything in it word to the wise make sure you have someone that can go get your vehicle me I'm an only child and I have no relatives Denise jackasses I go down to the office I'm like well where is my tools at mind you I bought a replacement engine from Jasper that truck just about every part alternator air conditioning compressor water pump radiator transmission all of the brakes I replaced all that stuff in that truck put the best spark plugs I can find in all the wiring rubber cap and button truck ran for number for its age but you know what those engines get the little age on them they start to lose compression on certain cylinders so that's the reason why I bought a second engine for it 305 that was under the hood and drop in the new one and what's crazy is man I mean these these people are complete buddies man over $3,000 in tools almost $4,000 in a replacement engine and they were coming after me for parking tickets I didn't feel that I owed him a freaking dying all of my tools that you guys gave away while I was in the hospital fighting for my life my brand new engine that you guys gave away or sold or whatever case you did with it why should I pay you one Thin dime not including the truck itself they had over $7,000 worth of equipment engine and other things on that truck that had nothing to do with the truck other than the engine and I'm like I asked the judge to say how you think I'm going to let me get the money from I said you just put me out of work you took my livelihood and gave it away did I get any money for me I took away my ability to work

this generation of yukon was the most beautiful generation

I have a 2000 Yukon and there was no way I was going to replace the AutoRide shocks. Way too expensive. This saved me from having that warning light on. Great video!!

Worked on my 2003 Yukon denali 6.0 AWD!!! I had replaced the air suspension and active shocks with regular suspension but still had the aggravating "Service Ride Control" message every time the suv was started. Thank you for the helpful video!!! Much easier than trying to add resistors at all 4 wheels and adding a resistor/device at the air pump. Finished in 15 minutes. I love not getting the Service Ride Control Message. Also gives me an extra power wire at the rear of the vehicle if I every need to add additional equipment back there.

I have the exact same model, Black 2006 Yukon Denali, and just as rusty underneath, ha ha! but with only 2" rear lowering springs and the the front torsion bars turned down. I followed your directions exactly and it worked! Thank you! Took about 20 minutes tops, including vacuuming under where the rear sill plate is located.

Super helpful, our vehicle is too old to justify replacing the load control system, so going with traditional shocks is the way to go. Turning off the warning center light has been an issue ever since. Way to go!!

Perfect video perfect explanation!!! Thanks for your good work! God bless you

Thanks! This worked and got rid of that annoying chime and cluster notification.

Need more content on your page! Love your stuff.

Nice work dude. Doing this on my 07 suburban in the next week. 👍

Worked! I did the “resistor-thing” first. Pulled the entire air system and replaced shocks , struts and rear springs. Still had the occasional ride light and couldn’t figure out which resistor failed. Your fix worked! Thanks.

Going out to my rig right now!! Thanx for the info!!

Thanks! Removing RTD fuse and unplugging battery to clear message worked like a charm on 04 Escalade.

Great thanks for posting. Do you have a pic of the orange wire before it was cut? Also, what is the black connector that is unplugged with the organge wire for?

Awesome video I have been struggling with the light on since 2011. I'm pretty sure someone else has the answer already, but what can I use to replace the whole suspension front & back.? I drive a 2005 Denali XL.

So instead of pulling a fuse that can easily be replaced, you cut a difficult to get to wire - makes perfect sense...

Simple yet functional. Nice video mane

I wonder if this is the same process on my 2000 Tahoe? I am replacing air shocks with extended shocks and 3 inch level kit and was actually looking for a video for the resistors for each corner when I coke across this video

i am trying to figure out how to do this on a 2010 but cant find a wiring diagram to do it. if anyone knows what wire and where on a 2010 escalade esv z95 suspension i would appreciate it

Great video. Thanks!

On my 2005 Danali,I bought a delete kit for the rear air ride.Came with a resister that went in the wire harness.Well something went wrong and it activated the Anti-Theft system.Took over a week to deactivate that system.I took that resister out and pulled the fuse instead.

is that the suspension control module? i have a 2010 and it might be in a different location

Should be the same for my 03 Escalade. I wanna Delete air ride an lift a lil so now I know how to Delete any error codes first thing. Do all that an should be able to find lift kits for a Tahoe to work on my Escalade?

Can you please do a video showing what sub you used and how you wired it? I want to do the same in my 04 Suburban.

Is there any benefit to this? I have a service ride light but I can barely even feel bumps going down the road. Rides infinitely smoother than my 02 suburban Z71 I have an 05/06 Yukon xl.

Why did you service ride control came on? Mine came on after I replaced the 2 front shocks, with OEM, drove the car home, then took it back in the morning ""no lights on at all"" to replace the tight rods and align the front and now the service ride light is on. I reconnected the original front shocks for testing and same issue " the service ride comes" I see everywhere that the issue for that message is the rear air compressor, but I did replace the 2 rear shocks and compressor and had no issues till today, my compressor comes on, and as soon as it does come on, the service ride comes on, then ran diagnostic and shows an issue with originally the driver side front shock, now both front shocks show a problem on the OBD scanner.

Btw!!? ....how did you connect the mtx stealth box to the factory head unit?

Thank you andyB! I have the 2005 GMC Yukon Denali XL and gave it a try. Location of the ride control computer is a little different but still have the same harness. I didn't have to take all the panels out. Just where the ride control computer is located. I cut the orange power wire and capped it. Put everything back together, reconnected the battery and went on a test drive. The "service ride control" never came back on. Thanks for the info. Now, just need to bypass the TPMS.

I unplugged it but my service message still comes up. Do I have to cut the wire ?

Can I take off the fancy socks and put regular socks on this truck. I completely destroyed the entire brake system in this truck by accidentally pouring power steering fluid in the brake fluid spot. I have allot of questions can you help

Really good video thanks

If that 30 amp fuse powers that module…meaning that orange wire is powered from that fuse, just pull that fuse? I’d rather pull the fuse and take 1 minute to disconnect the battery and pull it than rear out all the interior and have a live wire underneath the trim

If I pull the fuse will the auto ride compressor still kick on?

so would pulling the fuse be enough to turn it off for inspections? The air ride was taken out as well

Very cool info. I'm looking for a solution on my 05 Escalade Ext

so disconnect battery, pull fuse, thats it? will i still have air level system? , just notthe dampening?

I just did it to a 2002 Yukon and it worked, however I disconnect the whole harness the first one the top one instead of cutting the red wire.

Do u actually have to remove and replace the air shocks ?

Solid how to.......Poppings panels, easy. Question, my trucks shifting is affected in addition to the these two lights being on. It won't shift past third (no slipping or bad transmission going). I was convinced I had to replace the wheel speed sensor(s) til I saw your video. Think your fix may also return my shifting back to normal in addition to the lights going away?

Excellent vudeo. Thx u.

That’s great! I’m going to do this right now.

Since he showed us that it’s the top left power wire, I wouldn’t be surprised if we can just peek thru the vents on that panel and cut it from there without ruining the panel. If someone can answer this… can we just use a scanner to erase any codes instead of messing with the battery? Also, if we disconnect the air ride, what do we need to do to the suspension? Regular shocks? Stronger springs? You mentioned adjusting something a few notches.

Sooo what was the reason for not just pulling the fuse?

Hi I got a 07 Escalade and I took the back right panel apart like you did but the ride control computer wasn’t there so I found it mounted up under the spare tire underneath it look like there’s a lot more wires then your I see there’s one orange wire and one orange and black wire I didn’t cut the wire yet cause I wanted your opinion on this.

so after this repair you lost " ride control" driving experience is different?

Cutting the wire eliminates the traction active message aswell???

Will this work on a 2002 GMC Yukon?

I had the annoying service control lock chime every 5 minutes. I just disconnected battery, then removed the RTD fuse and so good so far. Just drove around the neighborhood--and no noise. Wondering if this may create any other issues?

Will my denali still be awd if I do this?

Did you have a power reduce when you replaced the suspension? My Denali 1500 does when I replaced my front shocks

Looks like a hassle to remove all that. By the way what is a twiddler speaker? I’m 59 we called the tweeters. Glad you knew the other is a sub woofer. Thanks for the video

Hey andyB, I noticed your brake lines when you were showing the underside of your truck and they are really rotted. I'm telling you this and anyone who has one of these GM Trucks to PLEASE change your brake lines they can go on you any day now. I just did 3 of my friends trucks, GM has a class action law suit against them for death and injuries due to failing/ rotted rusted through brake lines. PASS THE WORD!

What does " SERVICE RIDE CONTROL " DO ?

Hey man, question on your Denali drop. I have an 05 Denali Xl. Dropped the front with 2” spindles but having some issues. Curious if you had any yourself.

Nice job one quick ?what kind of shock did you get?

What size tires bro the fitment is sick

If you have an escalade or yukon with hydroboost, it will ALSO disable your steering angle sensor and eventually trigger an ABS light. Tried that exact thing on my truck but unfortunately the RTD computer and hydroboost are interconnected.

So is it easy to do on 2007 Tahoe ltz getting service suspension light codes say it’s just a sensor no ride change no sag just need that message gone permanently out of my message center

Ive got an 01 and an 03 ... yours 99% sure yours DOES have a subwoofer btw. Gm moved it from that spot at the back to underneath the center console. Now youve got two😉👍

Removed the fuse and cut wire. Still have the message. Was the battery disconnect the secret? Thanks. I will go back and unhook battery. For those who want to save even more time if you remove the retainers on the back end of the heater housing trim/interior panel I was able to bend back slightly and thanks to this video, I can cut the orange wire in minutes I was finished.

Hi I'm having problems with the same issue I have a 2007 Tahoe ltz I located that module and it's under the the frame on top where the spare tire goes I cut the power battery cable and even pull out the 30amp fuse for the ( electronic stability suspension control ) and it still shows the message. Any suggestions

This did not work on my truck mechanic tried the method laid out in this video and the message still shows up

Thank you!

I just took the rear apart unplugged the module , after changing shocks out , also removed the fuse I still get message on dash ?

I went with strutmasters complete shock conversion kit comes with resistors to by pass system for my 2005 Yukon , money well spent !

Will this work on a 2007?

I would do this on my Escalade but I’m just converting the front and not the entire truck my back air system still works fine so Idk if I would do this

Hello, I came across your video as I am wanting to do the same. Would this work for a 03 Tahoe? Thank you

Does that influence the front suspension?

So why is this better than just pulling the fuse?

Tried your fix on my 2003 Suburban. Didn’t work for my vehicle.😢

Why does my 04 yukon feel like the front end is driving over itself

doing this. does mess with the abs braking system? i have a 2003 denali

hi thx for video, question why not just remove the fuse, can something go wrong?

Wnder if this applies to my 95?deville

I have the same Escalade wheel on my Denali 😂

Does this work on an 07 yukon denali

Do you know the RPO code for the magneride in this year model?

You really don't have to remove all that stuff and fold the seat forward. Just remove the panel at the bottom at the rear hatch just pops up. Unscrew the one luggage rack pin by hand and the one plastic pin just pulls out. I did remove the upper cover where the tweeter is and unhooked it. That's it since you're only accessing the back of that panel you don't need to remove the front just pull it far enough to see the wire then you can snip it. I did not disconnect the battery yet and I've still getting the lights so I guess I'll have to do that next. I really don't like disconnecting the battery because I've had issues before with the vent blend doors in the dash becoming out of sync or getting heat on one side and cool on the other. It's done that twice on me before. So usually if I have to try to change the battery I try to jump her 12 volts to keep power to it so that doesn't reset that computer. I think the thought process is when the computer is completely reset that all the blend doors cycle themselves all the way one way than the other. Being that they haven't moved in years that far that you can either break the gears or just get misaligned in general.

What drop you have on that Denali??

Is this only if you dont have the air ride system anymore? i stil have the air ride system and wondering how to get the message off

Can anyone Explain to me why I got this code on my dash when I have a 05 3500 Duramax with no air ride in the first place😂

I want to know how you avg 15mpg with a 6.0 and awd, my Denali avg is 11.6

Does anyone know if the 05 cadillac escalade is the same??

I removed the fuse problem solved 😅

If you cut the wire will it lower the back

Where did you get that steering wheel dude

I did this on my 2002 escalade and I feel like the suspension is different and it drives different

Bro where did you get that Denali steering wheel?

Do you still have your air shocks and will this affect them if soo?

I’ll go with the fuse lol. Thx though

didnt work for me still have the message

Is the car a little jumping now after changing to normal struts I was told so is it true? Let me know thank you bro

Why not just remove the fuse/relay you pointed out at the beginning?

This is also the wire for rear ac...I cut the same wire now rear ac doesn't work

Could you just unplug?

Bro just a quick question!?!? U don't believe in pulling a fuse but cutting a wire is better? U just made it harder to fix for a real mechanic

Annnnd why dont you just pull the fuse?

Okay so you saying this is easier than just removing the fuse

Man, I just don't have your luck, I always break the clips.
