DTC Code DTC Name
C171114 Front Height Control Sensor RH Circuit Circuit Short to Ground or Open
C171214 Front Height Control Sensor LH Circuit Circuit Short to Ground or Open
C171314 Rear Height Control Sensor RH Circuit Circuit Short to Ground or Open
C171414 Rear Height Control Sensor LH Circuit Circuit Short to Ground or Open

DESCRIPTION

The height control sensor sub-assembly changes the resistance according to the change in vehicle height. The suspension control ECU outputs a fixed voltage of 5 V to the height control sensor sub-assembly SHB terminal. If the sensor's resistance value changes, the sensor's voltage changes accordingly. The suspension control ECU then inputs the voltage value from the sensor to detect the vehicle height change.
