About C1914

C1914 is a manufacturer-specific chassis diagnostic trouble code. It belongs to the C-prefix family of codes, which covers chassis, braking, steering, suspension, or stability-control faults.

When C1914 is stored, the module has detected an open (broken or disconnected) electrical path in the monitored circuit.

Scanning & clearing: Chassis (C) codes are stored in the ABS, traction control, or stability-control modules. An enhanced or OEM-level scan tool is usually required to read and clear them.

C1914 is a manufacturer-specific code. The same code string on a different make may have a different meaning. Always confirm the code's definition against the vehicle's service information for the specific make and model under test.

Code Information

The suspension ride control module monitors and controls the electronically adjustable shock absorbers on vehicles equipped with adaptive damping. Each shock contains an electrically operated actuator (a solenoid valve) that varies damping force by changing internal fluid flow. DTC C1914 is set when the module detects an open circuit in the left front (LF) shock actuator control circuit, meaning current is not flowing as expected through the actuator or its wiring. This is commonly caused by a broken wire, corroded connector, or an internally open actuator solenoid. When the code is set the sy...
