AIR SUSPENSION SYSTEM, Diagnostic DTC:C1713/13, C1714/14

DTC Code DTC Name
C1713/13 Rear Height Control Sensor RH Circuit Malfunction
C1714/14 Rear Height Control Sensor LH Circuit Malfunction

DESCRIPTION

The height control sensor changes its resistance value based on changes in vehicle height. The suspension control ECU outputs a fixed voltage of 5 V to the SHB terminal of the height control sensor. If the resistance value of the sensor changes, the voltage value of the sensor changes accordingly. The suspension control ECU then inputs the voltage value from the sensor to detect the vehicle height change.

DTC Code DTC Detection Condition Trouble Area
C1713/13

Either condition is met:


  • With the ignition switch ON, a voltage of 5.5 V or higher or 4.3 V or less at the power source of the rear height control sensor RH is detected for 0.5 seconds.

  • With the ignition switch ON, a voltage of 4.7 V or higher or 0.3 V or less at the rear height control sensor RH is detected for 1 second.

  • Harness or connector

  • Rear height control sensor RH

  • Suspension control ECU
C1714/14

Either condition is met:

    1. Check the rear height control sensor RH (when DTC C1713/13 is output).


      1. Remove the rear height control sensor RH Click here.

      2. Connect 3 dry cell batteries of 1.5 V in series.

      3. Connect the positive (+) end of the batteries to terminal 1 (SHB) of the height control sensor and the negative (-) end of the batteries to terminal 3 (SHG). While slowly moving the sensor link up and down, measure the voltage between terminal 2 (SHRR) and terminal 3 (SHG).

      4. Measure the voltage according to the value(s) in the table below.

        Standard Voltage
        Tester Connection Condition Specified Condition
        3 (SHG) - 2 (SHRR) Max. High (45°) 4.4 to 4.6 V
        Normal (0°) 2.3 to 2.6 V
        Min. Low (-45°) 0.4 to 0.6 V

        Note

        Do not apply a voltage of 5 V or higher.

    2. Check the rear height control sensor LH (when DTC C1714/14 is output).


      1. Remove the rear height control sensor LH Click here.

      2. Connect 3 dry cell batteries of 1.5 V in series.

      3. Connect the positive (+) end of the batteries to terminal 1 (SHB) of the height control sensor and the negative (-) end of the batteries to terminal 3 (SHG). While slowly moving the sensor link up and down, measure the voltage between terminal 2 (SHRL) and terminal 3 (SHG).

      4. Measure the voltage according to the value(s) in the table below.

        Standard Voltage
        Tester Connection Condition Specified Condition
        3 (SHG) - 2 (SHRL) Max. High (45°) 4.4 to 4.6 V
        Normal (0°) 2.3 to 2.6 V
        Min. Low (-45°) 0.4 to 0.6 V

        Note

        Do not apply a voltage of 5 V or higher.

  2. CHECK HARNESS AND CONNECTOR (REAR HEIGHT CONTROL SENSOR - SUSPENSION CONTROL ECU)


    1. Check the rear height control sensor RH (when DTC C1713/13 is output).


      1. Disconnect the S3 rear height control sensor RH connector.

      2. Disconnect the R19 suspension control ECU connector.

      3. Measure the resistance according to the value(s) in the table below.

        Standard Resistance
        Tester Connection Condition Specified Condition
        S3-3 (SHG) - R19-16 (SGR2) Always Below 1 Ω
        S3-2 (SHRR) - R19-26 (SHRR) Always Below 1 Ω
        S3-1 (SHB) - R19-13 (SBR2) Always Below 1 Ω
        S3-3 (SHG) - Body ground Always 10 kΩ or higher
        S3-2 (SHRR) - Body ground Always 10 kΩ or higher
        S3-1 (SHB) - Body ground Always 10 kΩ or higher

    2. Check the rear height control sensor LH (when DTC C1714/14 is output).


      1. Disconnect the S6 rear height control sensor LH connector.
