INSPECTION PROCEDURE

NOTICE:
When replacing the absorber control ECU, check the acceleration sensor assembly signal after replacement (Click here).

HINT:
  1. Check the condition of each related circuit connector before troubleshooting (Click here).
  2. When C1774 is output, inspect and repair the trouble areas indicated by C1774 first (Click here).

1.INSPECT ABSORBER CONTROL ACTUATOR OPERATION

  1. Connect the intelligent tester to DLC3.
