Does the ASR servo on a 96 LT-1 have a recoil spring that returns it to stop?

that's a good question... I always thought the motor drove it internally... but a spring does make sense.

I have never taken one apart, nor have I had the need.

Is your's not working?

I thought it was a motor like Andy said. But I've never had one apart. It does have an electrical connection, doesn't it?

The following is a response cited from another forum. May not be relevant to the question posed by the OP:

"Created by Bosch and called ASR (Acceleration Slip Regulation) by Chevrolet, it automatically comes on when the car is started, but can be switched off by a button above the headlight control -- showing a welcome sense of respect for the serious driver.

Using the wheel-speed sensors of the Bosch ABS system, ASR can cut engine torque by retarding spark and reducing the throttle. It can also simultaneously apply the rear brakes independently of one another to slow the slipping drive wheels to the point of traction. Some wheel-spin is allowed -- more if the ABS's lateral accelerometer determines you are traveling in a straight line -- but when you exit a corner and decide to hit the accelerator hard for some fun, the ASR slaps your right foot as if it were the hand of a little kid who's dipping into a cookie jar. A cam arrangement causes the accelerator pedal to literally pulse back at the driver. When ASR functions, often on occasions when you feel as if you are not driving aggressively at all, a light appears on the center console's warning screen.

With ASR on, dry acceleration times to 60 mph were hurt by half a second, but there is no doubt that if the surface was wet, ASR times would make unassisted times look positively amateurish. This added feature makes the 1992 LT1 the first all-weather Corvette."

Im trying to find a solution to my Module 9 Code 65. The first step is to disconnect ASR servo pigtail, second disconnect "All Cables from cable adjuster, rotate cable adjuster cams fully and release to stop. When I do Nada! it dosen't return to stop? Ive checked the wiring harness form front to back and haven't found any visually broken or bad connections, so Im looking at a bad servo or replacing the EBCM? anybady got a spare one to try out?

that sounds like a bad servo... most odd, because these things are very durable. what you are describing is mechanical in nature, not signal related.

I don't have a spare, but you might find one at Vette2Vette.com for a fair price.

Where in SoCal are you? There is a guy in Van Nuys area that has a Corvette salvage...

I'm in Montclair, not too far away.The DTC 65 is a "Cable Adjuster Circuit Malfunction" I suppose a mechanical failure in the servo could cause a short in the electrical?
The first part of the trouble shooting flow chart requires that the cable adjuster assembly be rotated by hand without any cables attached and allowed to return to the stop. Mine doesn't return to the stop, made me think there is a recoil spring in the servo??

I would agree.

I think it's time for surgery! Let us know what you find

Worth picking up a spare just to have
