MagneRide Delete Module

A MagneRide delete module allows you to remove Magnetic Ride Control while preventing suspension warning lights, error messages, and reduced-performance modes. If you are replacing factory MagneRide shocks with standard suspension components, a proper electronic bypass is required. ShockSims MagneRide delete modules communicate directly with your vehicle to eliminate faults safely and permanently.

ShockSims developed and built the first OBD-based shock simulator specifically designed to bypass MagneRide systems. This approach keeps the logic inside the vehicle, avoids external resistor failures, and has become the standard for reliable electronic suspension deletes for mechanics and enthusiasts.

Why OBD-Based Beats Resistor-Based Shock Simulators

Early MagneRide delete kits relied on external resistors to mimic factory shocks. While simple, these resistor-based solutions do not communicate with the vehicle’s suspension control logic and can fail under real-world heat and vibration.

OBD-based modules communicate directly with factory control modules
Logic stays inside the vehicle, not exposed to the elements
Consistent suppression of suspension fault codes and warning lights
No external resistors to crack, burn out, or degrade over time

ShockSims pioneered the OBD-based approach to MagneRide deletes to deliver a cleaner, more reliable solution for long-term use.

OBD/SS Carbon – Advanced MagneRide Delete for GM SUVs & Corvette C8

The OBD/SS Carbon was developed for the latest GM SUVs (2021+) and the C8 Corvette. It offers all of the benefits of the Classic module but updated for newer vehicle platforms. Like the Classic, it plugs into the OBD‑II port and communicates with the suspension control module to prevent “Service Suspension” warnings and limp‑mode. It’s ideal for coilover conversions, lowering kits or replacing failed MagneRide dampers on 2021–2024 SUVs and 2020+ Corvette C8.

Ride Height & Shock Sim Kit – Resistor-Based MagneRide Emulator

We offer a resistor‑based Ride Height & Shock Sim Kit for cases where OBD‑based modules are not compatible. This kit uses resistors to mimic the load of missing shocks or ride‑height sensors.

MagneRide Delete Module FAQ

A MagneRide delete kit or module allows you to remove GM’s Magnetic Ride Control shocks and replace them with standard or performance dampers. The kit keeps the dashboard free of warnings by communicating with the vehicle’s Suspension Control Module through the OBD‑II port to suppress diagnostic trouble codes.

If you install coilovers, lift kits, or conventional shocks without a bypass, the vehicle triggers “Service Suspension” warnings, sets fault codes, and can enter limp‑mode. OEM MagneRide shocks can cost up to $1 ,000 each, and many owners report failures around 75 ,000 miles. A delete module manages the suspension control logic so the vehicle operates normally when adaptive components are removed.

Yes. The module plugs into the OBD‑II port and suppresses fault codes such as C0575, C0580, C0585, and C0590. This prevents “Service Suspension” messages and speed‑limiting behavior.

Simple resistor kits mimic the shock’s electrical load but sit outside the vehicle; they can burn out, crack or blow when exposed to heat and the elements. Because they don’t talk to the suspension module, they may not suppress all diagnostic codes. A plug‑and‑play OBD module keeps the logic inside the vehicle’s electronics and is designed for long‑term reliability.

OBD/SS Classic – supports most GM cars and SUVs from roughly 2015‑2020.
OBD/SS Carbon – designed for 2021+ GM SUVs without air ride and the C8 Corvette.
OBD/SS Ford VDM‑E – for Mustang GT350 (2015–2023) and GT500 (2020–2022) models.

Yes. Installation is truly plug‑and‑play: plug the module into the OBD‑II port, turn the ignition on, and the module pairs automatically. There is no cutting or splicing, so you can remove the module and reinstall the factory system at any time.

If your vehicle is lifted or lowered and the ride height sensors are disconnected, you will need to add our Ride Height Simulators. These additional modules keep the vehicle’s ride‑height logic happy.

The delete module only bypasses the electronics; it does not dictate spring or damper stiffness. Most owners who use quality coilovers or performance shocks report a slightly firmer and more consistent ride. Ride quality ultimately depends on the shocks and springs you choose.

Any aftermarket modification can potentially affect warranty coverage. The OBD/SS module does not permanently alter vehicle wiring and can be removed before dealer visits, but you should review your warranty terms or consult your dealer for guidance.
