2007 Cadillac Escalade no start no crank SOLVED - Part 2/2

Active Suspension Module - www.rockauto.com/en/catalog/c...

[@capitalr8649]

Mines wasn’t rusted as bad as yours but I did unplug mines then plug it back in. Once I did that the CEL came off and no more traction control, ABS, and stability light. Nor was the gauges acting up erratically. Fuse #2 in the fuse box under the hood also controls this module. For a temporary fix for a no start or limp mode when driving, just remove the fuse until you get a new ESCM.

I like the way you have approached the problem, it's costly , but you made it Buddy, great job

[@davntelisha19]

Mines looks the same but it's still working I'm trying to clean all the rust and paint it now

[@amyjones7962]

Damn i wish i had your help on my vehicles. It’s just me trying to figure them both out. I’ve spent an ungodly amount of hours researching, reading, looking, and video time trying to teach myself two different engines. 🙄☹️😩

[@sbinnov8825]

So some Escalades from this body style don’t have a FPCM? It’s integrated to the active suspension control module?

[@capitalr8649]

No it’s just relocated right next to the ABS module

[@ivangalindo5640]

problem solved thanks

[@user-sq6sx6ml5l]

What was your issues ?

[@lubacotemobile]

Good find. Absolutely ridiculous for a car not to start for this reason. I'm working on an 06 DTS that won't start now. All I did was replace a rusted brake line and re-bled the line. Starter is fine. I will definitely never buy a car that is this fancy and non serviceable.

[@diesel961]

It is serviceable

[@davntelisha19]

Dam that module should of been inside the truck not outside under the spare tire

[@hoobsgarage]

Do they all have to be programmed? Is there any that just plug in? I'm getting those stabilitrak lights just like yours. But runs fine sometimes just goes crazy and shifts weird. But anytime before it goes crazy I get the service suspension message first. That's why I think my problem is starting there.

[@rezcarguyz26]

Yes the location is under the rear trunk compartment under the truck, the module sits overtop of the spare tire. If it acts up on you in a pinch you might be able to just unplug it and see if it can make it home..

[@rezcarguyz26]

Not sure if they all need to be programmed, I bought mine new and just sent it to the dealer to get programmed $150

[@hoobsgarage]

​@@rezcarguyz26 thanks man and sorry for the late reply and thanks for asking this video to help us all. Did you try to drive it at all with the module unplugged? Just wondering if I could unplug it. I'll gladly drive with the module unplugged as long as it doesnt mess anything else up. I can just deal with the service suspension light lol

[@shanemarvin4320]

Check rack and pinion that will trip trac control and make it act up

[@RaidKingdom91]

How did you remove that plug out of the module?

[@rezcarguyz26]

Just push down the connector and flip the connector latch up and it will slide up and come off 👌

[@davntelisha19]

Where did you buy your module from I'm trying to buy one too

[@rezcarguyz26]

Picked it up online from RockAuto, here is the link👍: www.rockauto.com/en/catalog/cadillac,2007,escalade,6.2l+v8,1433259,suspension,electronic+suspension+control+module,13590

[@capitalr8649]

Why didn’t you just drive the truck to the dealership once your removed the old module?

[@joshuascholz3905]

I had the same question. Does the vehicle not drive if the module is unplugged, or if it’s new?

[@capitalr8649]

@@joshuascholz3905 I drove mines to the stealership after installing it on my own. They programmed it when I arrived.

I'm having the same issue with my 2008 cadillac escalade it cranks up but wont turnover all the way. it will start then cut off real quick. the autoshop is telling me I need to replace this part in order for the car to start. Is That true??

[@rezcarguyz26]

Might be the throttle body that’s stuck. When the throttle body on these vehicles get old they are prone to get stuck when it gets hot. (The aluminum body heats up and swells binding the throttle intake blade.)If you were driving the vehicle hard and then noticed this is when it happened that is a clear indication the throttle body might be the issue. This also has happened to me recently and I purchased a brand new GM genuine throttle body from RockAuto because they have the most affordable high quality parts. Being a very sensitive and critical part of the vehicle safety wise I would highly suggest replacing with only brand new GM genuine parts. They are a little more expensive but if you have driven your vehicle 200,000 miles now I’m sure the GM factory part should give you hopefully another 200,000 miles. I will post a video with more details and change procedure in the coming future. Hope this helps.

@@rezcarguyz26 I replaced that 1 yr ago so Its definitely not that. What I am trying to understand is if this control module is no good will the car not start

[@rezcarguyz26]

@@jiggi1613 okay if you unplug the suspension module right above the spare tire underneath the rear of the truck it should turn over and start.

[@jiggi1613]

@@rezcarguyz26 OK I will try that. If It starts how long before I would need to replace it.

[@rezcarguyz26]

@@jiggi1613 if that turns out to be issue I would replace it right away because it has electrical components that coincide with the rest of the vehicle.

The ABS module would cause a no start no crank to I unplug my abs module underneath the driver's door and my Escalade started up I tried your method first and it started up then another KZbinr told me to plug the green wire back in and unplug the ABS module and I did in the truck started up so that means I have to change the ABS and the active suspension control module will cause the same thing no crank no start and the ground strap on the block to the engine will cause the same thing too and the fuel pump control module will cause the same thing too

[@rezcarguyz26]

Well I think they might run through the same circuit/wiring harness. I never changed my ABS module only the electronic suspension control module and it’s been running fine. I’m not sure of your diagnosis of your vehicle but my issue was the suspension module and that cleared up the no start/no crank issue and also many other issues that were going on with the vehicle at the time, they were all attributed to a faulty electronic suspension module.👌

[@user-sq6sx6ml5l]

@@rezcarguyz26 my gas gauge started acting weird and trans went from D to N with a CEL. I cleared code and it drove fine for a couple miles then started doing it again. You think that module is my issue as well?
