INSPECTION PROCEDURE

Note


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

  • If DTC C1782 (Power Source Voltage Malfunction) is output at the same time, perform troubleshooting for C1782 first Click here.

  • Before replacing the absorber control ECU, perform all of the following again: 1) symptom simulation Click here; 2) DTC inspection Click here; and 3) GTS inspection (ECU Data List or Active Test Click here. If no malfunctions are found in other areas, replace the absorber control ECU.

  • When the absorber control ECU is replaced, switch to test mode and check that all test mode DTCs are cleared when their respective deletion conditions are met Click here.

PROCEDURE


  1. CLEAR DTC

  2. PERFORM ACTIVE TEST USING GTS (DAMPER STEP)


    1. Turn the engine switch off.

    2. Connect the GTS to the DLC3.

    3. Turn the engine switch on (IG).

    4. Turn the GTS on.

    5. Enter the following menus: Chassis / Air suspension /Active Test.

      Air Suspension
      Tester Display Test Part Control Range Diagnostic Note
      Damper Step FR Changes damper step (front RH) 1 to 17 step The shock absorber hardens as the damper step increases.
      Damper Step FL Changes damper step (front LH) 1 to 17 step The shock absorber hardens as the damper step increases.
      Damper Step RR Changes damper step (rear RH) 1 to 17 step The shock absorber hardens as the damper step increases.
      Damper Step RL Changes damper step (rear LH) 1 to 17 step The shock absorber hardens as the damper step increases.

    6. Check if the absorber control actuator operates to harden the suspension with the GTS.

      OK
      The absorber control actuator operates.
