INSPECTION PROCEDURE

Note


  • Before performing troubleshooting, inspect the connectors of related circuits.

  • If DTC C1782/82 (Power Source Voltage Malfunction) is output at the same time, perform troubleshooting for C1782/82 first Click here.

  • Before replacing the suspension control ECU, perform all of the following again: 1) symptom simulation Click here; 2) DTC inspection; and 3) intelligent tester inspection (ECU Data List or Active Test). If no malfunctions are found in other areas, replace the suspension control ECU.

  • If the suspension control ECU or height control sensor is replaced, the vehicle height offset calibration must be performed Click here.

PROCEDURE

  2. CHECK ABSORBER CONTROL ACTUATOR OPERATION (ACTIVE TEST)


    1. Turn the engine switch off.

    2. Connect the intelligent tester to the DLC3.

    3. Turn the engine switch on (IG) and turn the tester main switch on.

    4. Enter the following menus:

      Select: Chassis / Air suspension /Active Test /

    5. According to the display on tester, perform the "Active Test"

    6. Check if the absorber control actuator operates to harden the suspension with the intelligent tester.
