Good afternoon guys I had an 03 Escalade but the rust and the ongoing problems anyway we've retired it for the moment mooseman helped me get it going anyway we now purchase the 2007 Escalade and I'm trying to get it ready because in Ontario we have to have a safety check but of course January we have new safety check procedures so I have a current problem with this 07 in that previous clients had a problem with the air suspension so they replaced the front shocks with the gas shocks deleted the tubing I guess from the compressor to the shocks the compressor does not run but the rear shocks are pumped up so I am unable to get an answer from any mechanic so far as to whether or not this unit will pass safety because on the DIC of course I have an error message that says you know check suspension right I believe this check suspension but anyway it says it checked the air suspension problem so the rear shocks are good and The Stance is good and everything else but they can't tell me now whether or not I have to make all this about the safety from what I read in the MTO it says that any equipment that is Supply to standard equipment on the vehicle has to work well again I'm not getting an answer so I can't delete this message as I understand it because it's all in the computers and when you start off it's all looking at the level Heights and all this crap so I'm stuck there so I'm wondering if any of you guys have had a recent safety or if there is any mechanics on the Forum that would know anything about you Ontario safety and whether or not would pass and if if I have to would you have an idea of where I could go in the Ottawa area to get it where they will allow me this little problem thanks very much

I tried GPT4All and it was useless, basically suggesting to reinstall the system and consulting forums 
.
I had the same issue with my 08 Avalanche and never could get rid of the message. The entire air suspension, front and rear, was deleted but the BCM is looking for it and will throw a message saying to check the system. Mine passed the safety however it was done by the same garage as the used car dealer so
I did find this thread at a Caddilac forum and they suggest putting resistors in the old shock connectors.

Other than that, all I can suggest is to find another shop that will do the safety explaining that the suspension is fine and it was just reverted to a normal suspension without the air system. I'm even surprised that they're flagging this as a safety issue.

How to bypass front shock valve sensor? and rear shock...
I know that Arnott sells the Bilstein replacement front and rears but they are asking close to 400 bucks for just the front struts which consist of 2 bilsteins and the bypasses. They're making a killing in profits as I can get the bilsteins for 75-90 bucks each. I'm certainly not going to be...

Regarding issues with GPT4ALL not being responsive...

The Trick here is to Download as many LLMs as you can get your hands on... and then select from within that variety of LLMs for "The Best Tool in The Tool Box". This may take some time to achieve since the Tokenized Knowledge Corpus' living within each Model are Truly Gigantic... a Trial and Error approach may be necessary to find the One That Best Suits The Situation.
The Nomic's GPT4ALL Access Program is merely a convenient "Shell" that will allow Users to do a lot more things...assuming you visit the Nomic GPT4ALL site From WITHIN the Program... and then select and grab the LLMs Best Suited for your particular hardware for Off Line Queries... :>)
Look for THIS Feature the next time you interact with GPT4ALL and find MORE LLMs to Download, Choose and Use THIS Option:
"Not EVERY Google Search ...Yields THE Perfect Answer..."

You can put a shunt/resistor on the end of the wiring to the shock/strut that will eliminate the fault..
I cant seem to find a direct wired one, only splice versions. But I know they exist.

Good aft. Would anyone have the value for the shunt resistors for the shock connectors for the delete?
The truck is spread all over the floor waiting for me to get going, had to stop in the fall and I am recuperating from hernia surgery.
I contacted the mto regarding the safety and they did not know andtors would have to get back to me which never did. Three separate garages could not answer so while it is on the floor the resistors I will try. Thxs

FWIW... This comes as a response from Nomic's *GPT4ALL* LLM AI via its latest version of the "Chain Of Thought' Large Language Model called "Deep-Seek R-1 Distill Qwen 14B" which has a fairly large in-dwelling Fourteen Billion Token Corpus for its reliance upon "Searching Its Own Mind" off line, versus performing any typical Google Search. Ergo... Please... Follow up with performing even more Due Diligence to verify by research and confirmation what follows in *IT's* Suggestion Reply:
"The shunt resistor values for modifying Chevrolet Trailblazers by deleting shock-related sensors are typically 10 ohms. This value is often used in GM vehicles to bypass sensors without causing significant voltage drop, potentially tricking the system into normal operation. However, it's crucial to exercise caution, as this can interfere with critical safety systems like Airbags. Always consult a professional or refer to specific wiring diagrams for your vehicle before making any such modifications."

I posed the proper question to Gemini and got this:
Although there is an actual bypass module available, it looks overpriced if it's just a resistor that still has to be spliced in. This one also came up at a much better price:
