ACTIVE HEIGHT CONTROL SUSPENSION, Diagnostic DTC:C1736, C1737

DTC Code DTC Name
C1736 Front Suspension Control Valve RH Malfunction
C1737 Front Suspension Control Valve LH Malfunction

DESCRIPTION

In order to decrease roll angle/pitch angle, the suspension control ECU turns the spring rate switching valve in the front suspension control valve off/on to change the fluid lines when the acceleration sensor or yaw rate sensor signal is input into the suspension control ECU. Normally, the spring rate switching valve is open.

DTC Code Detection Condition Trouble area
C1736

When either of the following is detected:


  • With the spring rate switch valve RH not activated, an open signal of the spring rate switch valve RH is detected for 1 second or more.

  • With the spring rate switch valve RH activated, a short signal of the spring rate switch valve RH is detected 8 times successively.

  • Harness or connector

  • Front suspension control valve RH (Front spring rate switching valve RH)

  • Suspension control ECU

  • No. 1 height control valve
C1737

When either of the following is detected:


  • With the spring rate switch valve LH not activated, an open signal of the spring rate switch valve LH is detected for 1 second or more.

  • With the spring rate switch valve LH activated, a short signal of the spring rate switch valve LH is detected 8 times successively.

  • Harness or connector

  • Front suspension control valve LH (Front spring rate switching valve LH)

  • Suspension control ECU

  • No. 1 height control valve

CAUTION / NOTICE / HINT

Note


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

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

Tech Tips

Power is supplied to the front suspension control valve and No. 1 height control valve from the suspension control ECU. If a short occurs in the power supply circuit in the No. 1 height control valve, DTC C1736 and/or C1737 will be stored. In this case, DTC C1741, C1742, C1743, C1744, C1753, C1754 and/or C1755 will also be stored.

PROCEDURE


  1. PERFORM ACTIVE TEST USING GTS (FRONT SPRING RATE SWITCHING VALVE)


    1. Turn the engine switch off.

    2. Connect the GTS to the DLC3.

    3. Start the engine and turn the GTS on.

    4. Enter the following menus: Chassis / AHC / Active Test.

    5. Check the operation of the front spring rate switching valve solenoid when operating the solenoid with the GTS.
