If you’re like most people, your Tahoe is one of your favorite vehicles. And, if you drive it a lot, you know how important it is to have it in good condition. Unfortunately, the same can’t be said for the service suspension system. In this blog post, we will introduce you to the service suspension system and how it can potentially damage your Tahoe. We will also provide some tips on how to clear the suspension system if it becomes blocked.
What is the Tahoe Service Suspension System?
The Tahoe Service Suspension System is a system that helps to keep your suspension in good condition. It helps to prevent bottoming out and also keeps the vehicle from moving around while it is being serviced. The Tahoe Service Suspension System should be inspected and cleaned every 6 months or whenever the fluid levels reach the bottom of the reservoir.
How to Clear Your Service Suspension System Tahoe
If your Tahoe has been placed in service suspension, there are a few quick and easy steps you can take to get it back on the road. First, call your Tahoe’s manufacturer and ask them to clear the service suspension system. This will reset all of the vehicle’s settings and should return it to normal operation.
If your Tahoe is beyond repairs or if you do not have access to the manufacturer, you can clear the suspension system using one of two methods. The first method is to use a tow truck to pull your Tahoe and apply weight to the drivetrain suspension arms. This will cause the suspension system to reset and return your vehicle to normal operation.
The second method is more difficult but may be necessary if you cannot accessibility the tow truck or if your vehicle has been in an accident that destroyed part of the suspension system. You will need to remove both front hub assemblies and lift up both rear drive shafts in order to clear any debris from within the suspension system. Once cleared, re-install both hubs and bolts into place; then replace drive shafts into their housing.

Where to Clear Your Tahoe Service Suspension System
If you receive a Tahoe service suspension notice, the first step is to clear the suspension. If your Tahoe has air suspension, you’ll need to depress the gas and brake pedals simultaneously to lower the system. If your Tahoe doesn’t have air suspension, you’ll need to use a tow strap or winch to lower it. Once the suspension is lowered, release the pressure on the pedals and restart your vehicle.
What to Do After Clearing Your Tahoe Service Suspension System
If you have been driving around with a service suspension system warning light on your dashboard, there are a few things you can do to clear the system and get your vehicle back on the road.
First, make sure that your Tahoe has had its air pressure checked and that the system is properly inflated. If the air pressure is low or the system isn’t inflated, the Tahoe may not be able to clear the suspension problem.
Next, drive your Tahoe around town for a while to get it used to different terrain and road conditions. This will help the Tahoe learn how to handle itself and clear any issue with the suspension system.
Finally, take your Tahoe to an authorized service center and have them check out the suspension system. If everything looks normal, they may be able to reset or clear the suspension problem without replacing anything.
