INSPECTION PROCEDURE

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

PROCEDURE
