This document is a connector pinout reference for connector C450, the Semi-Active Ride Control (SARC) Module. It shows a face-view drawing of the multi-pin connector with two rows of cavities (pins 1-10 on the bottom row and pins 21-26 on the top row) and wire callouts identifying circuit numbers and wire colors for the populated cavities. Below the drawing, a table lists each pin with its circuit number, wire color code, and circuit function. Populated circuits include: pin 1 and pin 21, circuit 418 (Dark Green/Yellow), Power (B+); pin 2, circuit 676 (Pink/Orange), Vehicle Speed Sensor (VSS) negative; pin 3, circuit 679 (Gray/Black), VSS positive; pin 4, circuit 49 (Orange), Power (Hot In Run); pin 7, circuit 423 (Purple/Light Green), Left Front Height Sensor; pin 8, circuit 425 (Brown/Pink), Right Front Height Sensor; and pin 26, circuit 153 (Purple/Yellow), ZF Gear Solenoid Return. Pins 5, 6, 9, 10, and 22-25 are marked NOT USED. A reader can use this to identify wires at the SARC module connector for diagnosis or repair of the semi-active suspension system.
