When the light comes on for the ride control it means that the system has detected a fault in the operation and the system needs to be scanned and tested for proper functionality. There are allot of faults that can turn the light on so the testing is very important to avoid replacing good parts and still not repair the problem. The most common fault is a leaking airbag at one or more wheels suspension. The life span of the suspension airbags (also called air springs) is about 100,000 miles

    Suburban 2500 do not have air ride shocks. They have electrically controlled valve shocks.

Service ride control

Hi there:The service ride control light being on is letting you know the system has detected a fault.This can be caused by a defective esc module or a bad compressor. need to have codes pulled out of the electronic suspension control module.


Need some specific dealer tools in order to reset it or solve it.

Hope this helps; also keep in mind that your feedback is important and I`ll appreciate your time and consideration if you leave some testimonial comment about this answer.
Thank you for using FixYa, have a nice day.

A Service Ride Control message came on my 2005 Chevy Tahoe with 28,000 miles- Dealer diagonosed it as the EBCM and charged me $750 - on the way home the message came back on - why?

Electronic Brake Control Module,
I really don't understand why they would change this module if your message stated,Ride control,
The ride control on the tahoes is an airbag (air powered shocks) leveling system. If I remember right, they are only in the rear. They are meant to raise or lower the rear end to be level with the front end. To do this, it has air shocks in the back, which are controlled by a computer and a compressor probably under the hood. Now, the light could mean many things, the most common being that an airbag broke, and air is leaking out. You may be able to hear a whine of the compressor trying to keep it filled. Less common, but possible are that the compressor is dead, or a line ruptured. The most common reason that the air shocks go out, are when the vehicle is lifted (tire change or such) without the leveling system being deactivated. Hope this helps. Good luck.

What does service ride control mean on a 2002 chevy tahoe?

It should be referring to its rear air-ride suspension system. That is if it came equipped with that feature.

Service ride control

more than likely its a bad wheel sensor or some kind of sensor, the ride control monitors the traction and suspension, I had to replace a wheel sensor that caused the service ride control, i think the part was around 90.00 and the dealer charged around 50.00 to put it in, more than likely that is your problem, just cross your fingers to hope its nothing more
