INSTALL HEIGHT CONTROL PUMP AND MOTOR ASSEMBLY
Install the pump and motor with the 3 bolts.
Connect the 2 connectors and 3 clamps.
INSTALL HEIGHT CONTROL TUBE CLAMP
Install the tube clamp with the 2 bolts.
Connect the reservoir hose to the tube clamp.
CONNECT REAR NO. 6 HEIGHT CONTROL TUBE
Using a union nut wrench, connect the control tube to the pump and motor.
Tech Tips
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.
BLEED AIR FROM SUSPENSION FLUID
With the engine stopped, fill the reservoir tank with fluid.
Note
When the engine starts, the pump operates and fluid is supplied to each cylinder from the reservoir tank. Therefore, add the necessary amount of fluid so that the reservoir tank does not become empty.
Tech Tips
At this point, the vehicle height is low because the pressure of the cylinders is low.
With the vehicle on a level surface, start the engine and set the vehicle height to NORMAL with the suspension control switch.
When the vehicle height becomes NORMAL and the pump stops, stop the engine.
Connect a hose to the bleeder plug of the front left side or right side control valve, then loosen the bleeder plug.
CAUTION:
Be careful when loosening the control valve bleeder plug because the front vehicle height drops rapidly.
After the fluid containing air stops coming out, retighten the bleeder plug.
Tech Tips
If the procedures are performed for the first time on the left side, perform the procedures on the right side for the second time.
Connect a hose to the bleeder plug of the rear left side or right side control valve, then loosen the bleeder plug.
CAUTION:
Be careful when loosening the control valve bleeder plug because the rear vehicle height drops rapidly.
After the fluid containing air stops coming out, retighten the bleeder plug.
Tech Tips
If the procedures are performed for the first time on the left side, perform the procedures on the right side for the second time.
Repeat the previous 4 procedures until the fluid containing air stops coming out.
CHECK FLUID LEVEL IN RESERVOIR
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).
Tech Tips
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
Check the torque value of the rear No. 5 height control tube union nuts.
Tech Tips
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.
Check for fluid leakage from the parts and connections.
Tech Tips
For union nuts and union bolts not shown in the illustration, refer to the installation procedures for each title.
