  • The magnetic ride control system senses speed and oscillation of suspension and adjusts shock dampening for a comfortable ride. If a shock is bad or the suspension sensors are damaged in anyway the system deactivates and does to a default setting, and the warning comes on. Did you hit any real bad potholes? or probably just wear and tear.. You need to have your suspension system checked.. shocks, control arms, alignment, etc.

Testimonial: "The car actually sat out in the snow all winter I just bought it, Do you know if that will keep the car from passing inspection"

I have a 1994 Cadillac DeVille That has the Service ride control warning on the dash, Will this warning keep the Car from passing a NYS inspection?

It shouldn't as ride control only effects the the comfort of the ride and not its safety... but believe me any warning light will trigger a possible failure. Most inspectors really only have rudimentary knowledge of how certain models work and will fail you upon inspection. Probably a bad shock...get it fixed

My 1994 cadillac concours doesn't ride smooth it sways a lot and the service ride control message is on the dash how do i fix it and what are the solutions

Those models had air ride on the back and adustable struts on the front. Usually the ride control light is on because of faulty sensors in the struts which are expensive to replace. You could run a scan on the system to find out for sure.
If the car sways on turns, you may have a problem with one of the stablizer bars or links.
I would take it to a shop that does suspension work and get an estimate or two.

How reset warning (service ride control)

You can go to a parts store like Advance Auto Parts and borrow a code reader. You can plug it into your port (typically under the drivers side dash) and it will give you the code for the light which you can also reset the warning.

Service ride control

The fuse is called RTD 30 amp under the hoodfuse box. That is for the Air Compressor.

Parts.com has the best price for:

Rear Suspension:
Shock W/auto level control - 1500 series

and under
electrical:
then ride control components
then compressor

Just got a dash warning "SERVICE RIDE CONTROL."

On second thought I understand you meant the indicator said actually "service ride". This can apply to shocks, the air pump that levels the car, possible low tire and such. Again, a mechanic can read the exact problem with a diagnostic computer. Just keep on driving until you get tired of seeing the warning. Oh yes, the mechanic can reset the car computer and make the annoying warning go away.
