If anyone is interested, I've been able to build for the 2004-2005 a bypass for the suspension module. It doesn't make the magnetic ride shocks work but it does remove the "service ride control" and "80 mph speed limit" messages and will allow the XLR to drive faster than 80 mph. If your...
I have been able to build a bypass module to remove the "service ride control" and "80 mph speed limit". It doesn't make the magnetic ride shocks work but it does remove the messages and the engine speed limitations.
If you're still interested in the bypass module let me know.
Refund has been received. Should I buy the C6 corvette shocks
without Electronic Suspension & Magnetic Selective Ride?

Well the ESC shows the same DTC codes as before. Nothing changed. Emailed G7 computers and asked for a refund. Total bummer.
Now it's time for regular shocks. Good news is the 80 mph warning has never reappeared since cleaning the module myself before I sent it to G7.
I'm hoping the module works when plugged in. My Tech II was able to make contact with the ESC using the CANDi adapter. Time will tell. It's due to arrive by Saturday 10/31/20. I'm optimistic. I'll be able to tell if the Tech II makes complete contact and manipulates the shocks.
Update: package...
I received an e-mail this morning from G7 computers concerning my ESC (electronic suspension control) module.
The computer you sent here has been repaired. There was a hardware failure on the board. Usually when the computer fails, so does another part on the vehicle, and if all the damaged...
You seem to be very well informed on this subject. A wise man learns from his mistakes, a truly wise man learns from his and others mistakes. The micro chip embedded on the circuit board appears to be the major problem and not the solder joints, relays or capacitors. These chips must have a...
Thank you mickeytee for the detailed response.
Well first let me get over my disappointment at reading G7 computers has already failed multiple times at this project. When I bought this 2005 xlr 2 months ago I knew it had problems. The least of which , I thought was the suspension warning ⚠...
I was afraid of that because further research says the ESC from a 06-09 must be programmed to the car. The 04-05 ECM is most likely not set up to program the ESC. One would need an ECM from an 06-09 xlr. The ESC from an 06-09 also fits a few of the corvette hence the need to program the Module...
I'm going to give it a try by making a conversion plug marrying the 3 plug with the single plug. First I have to find a ESC from a SRX or Seville ( because it has the same 3 plug configuration and it's cheap) then detach the female plug from the SRX circuit board. It may work or it may not...
I was reading the service manual for the 2005 xlr and noticed the suspension module (ESC) has 3 separate plugs. The manual list all the wires, their function and the location of each on each plug. Looking at the 2006-2009 the suspension module has only one plug but with all the same wires and...
