SUSPENSION CONTROL SYSTEM ON-VEHICLE INSPECTION

CHECK FLUID LEVEL IN RESERVOIR

1. 

   With the vehicle empty, after setting the vehicle height to NORMAL from LO, check the indicator to make sure the vehicle height is NORMAL and check that the fluid level in the reservoir tank is within the specified range (MAX, MIN).

   Tip:

   After changing the vehicle height from LO to NORMAL, do not stop the engine for 25 seconds because the pressure control for the main accumulator is operating. After that, check the fluid level.

INSPECT FOR SUSPENSION FLUID LEAK

1. Check that the union nuts shown in the illustration are tightened to the specified torque.

   without union nut wrench
   15 N*m	155 kgf*cm	11 ft.*lbf
   with union nut wrench
   14 N*m	143 kgf*cm	10 ft.*lbf

   Tip:
   

   • Use a torque wrench with a fulcrum length of 300 mm (11.8 in.).

   • The torque value for use with a union nut wrench is effective when the union nut wrench is parallel to the torque wrench.

2. 

   Check for fluid leakage from the parts and connections.

   Tip:

   For union nuts and union bolts not shown in the illustration, refer to the installation procedures for each title.
