The OBD/SS Apex is a full suspension control module emulator for 2015 to 2020 GM SUVs equipped with MagneRide (Z95), for owners who want to remove the entire air leveling system along with the dampers. If you plan on towing with your SUV, we strongly suggest you keep the air shocks fully operational. You can delete just the front Magneride shocks using our OBD/SS Classic, and the rear air system continues to operate as intended.

The Apex emulates the full suspension control module on the vehicle bus rather than only suppressing the MagneRide damper faults. With the module reporting a complete, healthy system, the vehicle does not set the "Service Suspension System" fault and does not need the air leveling components to stay powered.

The OBD/SS Classic suppresses only the MagneRide damper DTCs and leaves the air leveling system live. With the Classic, if you remove the air shocks, you have to loop the air lines and keep the compressor powered so it can pass its self-check. The Apex removes that constraint. You can remove the entire air system, air lines, compressor, and manifold, with no loop and no compressor kept alive. Choose the Classic if you are keeping the rear air leveling, and the Apex if you are deleting the whole air system.

Replace all four MagneRide dampers with conventional or coilover units and remove the full air leveling system. Ride Height Simulators are not required because the module supplies the ride height signal itself.

The Apex is built for an air-equipped vehicle. Because it emulates a full air and MagneRide system, connecting it to a MagneRide vehicle that has no air system will set faults.

Lifetime Warranty

Full suspension control module emulation

The OBD/SS Apex emulates the entire Suspension Control Module (SCM), not just the MagneRide shock circuits, so the vehicle reads a complete and healthy suspension system.

MagneRide and air leveling delete

All four MagneRide dampers and the Automatic Level Control (ALC) air system come out together, compressor, air lines, and rear air shocks included.

No ride height simulators required

The module reports valid ride height data on the network, so Ride Height Simulators are not needed no matter how high or low the vehicle sits.

Direct CAN network communication

The module works on the vehicle CAN network. No external resistors, no underbody wiring, and no exposed hardware to fail.

Two-point install, no calibration

Connects at the OBD-II port with a switched power connection at the retained accessory power (RAP) circuit. No scan tool, no ride height trim, no post-install calibration.

Complete suspension delete for 2015-2020 GM SUVs

The OBD/SS Apex is a full Suspension Control Module (SCM) emulator for 2015-2020 GM SUVs equipped with Magnetic Ride Control (RPO Z95). Pull all four MagneRide dampers and the entire air leveling system, then run whatever conventional shock or coilover your build calls for.

Silence the suspension warnings for good

Because the Apex emulates the whole module, the MagneRide shock DTCs and the Automatic Level Control (ALC) faults stay off together. No "Service Suspension" message, no repeating "Service Leveling System" message to dismiss every drive cycle.

No more 80 MPH limiter

When the SCM logs a missing MagneRide damper, GM caps vehicle speed. The Apex keeps that fault from setting, so the limiter never engages.
