what is RIDE CONTROL in cadillac sedan deville?
It's the air ride suspension.If the ride control message is coming up on your dash there's a problem with your system.It would help if you had included the year in your question.Suggest you log on to ahw cadillac resources.There you'll find instructions on how to access the on board diagnostics to retrieve the codes.I have to warn you these suspension systems are super expensive to fix.The factory shocks for my '95 eldorado were $1200 bucks each.You may have to go to an aftermarket system.I suggest you check out strutmasters or sun core industries.
By the sound of it it probably means a system that controls the stiffnes in the suspension. More stiff more uncomfortable ride. But generally a stiffer suspension will be more responsive and handle better
The car has air springs and the ride Controller uses a air pump in the car to adjust the height by how much weight is in the car.
