DTC

C1718

Pressure Sensor Circuit Malfunction

DESCRIPTION

This circuit is sending the data to detect the pressure output from the pump and to judge the abnormality of the fluid pressure by the ECU.

HINT:

"Pressure sensor" refers to the fluid pressure sensor.

DTC No.

DTC Detecting Condition

Trouble Area

C1718/18

Either of the following 1. or 2. is detected:

  1. When detecting the abnormal signal from the fluid pressure sensor (Fluid pressure sensor terminal voltage of ECU is 0.3 V or less or 4.7 V or more) for every 0.01 sec. and that condition continued for 1 sec.
  2. While the motor relay is not operating, the condition that the fluid pressure exceeds 1 MPa continued for 10 sec.
  • Fluid pressure sensor
  • Suspension control ECU
  • Wire harness

Fail-safe function:

If a trouble occurs in the fluid pressure sensor circuit, the height control is prohibited after the ECU has adjusted the vehicle height to the standard.

INSPECTION PROCEDURE

PROCEDURE

1.

CHECK WIRE HARNESS (FLUID PRESSURE SENSOR - SUSPENSION CONTROL ECU)

NG

REPAIR OR REPLACE HARNESS AND CONNECTOR

OK

2.

CHECK SUSPENSION CONTROL ECU

(a) Remove the suspension control ECU with connectors still connected.

(b) Turn the ignition switch ON.

(c) Measure the voltage between terminals SHB and SHG of the suspension control ECU connector.

Standard voltage:

Tester Connection

Specified Condition

S7-1 (SHB) - S7-9 (SHG)

Approximately 5 V

NG

REPLACE SUSPENSION CONTROL ECU

OK

3.

CHECK FLUID PRESSURE SENSOR

(a) Start the engine and push the vehicle height select switch to select the N mode.

(b) Measure the voltage between terminals 2 and 3 of the fluid pressure sensor connector.

Standard voltage:

Tester Connection

Specified Condition

F1-2 - F1-3

1.48 to 1.85 V

NG

REPLACE FLUID PRESSURE SENSOR

OK

REPLACE SUSPENSION CONTROL ECU
