HINT:

  • DTC C1731/31 corresponds to the front gate valve solenoid circuit.
  • DTC C1732/32 corresponds to the front leveling valve solenoid circuit.
  • DTC C1733/33 corresponds to the rear gate valve solenoid circuit.
  • DTC C1734/34 corresponds to the rear leveling valve solenoid circuit.
  • DTC C1736/36 corresponds to the height control accumulator solenoid circuit.

Fail-safe function:

If a trouble occurs in the control valve assembly circuit, the ECU prohibits the height control and fixed the damping force at the sports mode.

INSPECTION PROCEDURE

HINT:

When using the intelligent tester, start from *1. When not using the intelligent tester, start from *2.

PROCEDURE

1.

PERFORM ACTIVE TEST USING INTELLIGENT TESTER (CONTROL VALVE ASSEMBLY AND HEIGHT CONTROL ACCUMULATOR SOLENOID)*1

(a) Connect the intelligent tester (with CAN VIM) to the DLC3.

(b) Start the engine and push the intelligent tester main switch ON.

(c) Select the ACTIVE TEST mode on the intelligent tester.

(d) Check that the operation sound of the solenoid or vibration of the control valve assembly and height control accumulator when operating the solenoid with the intelligent tester.

OK:

The operation sound of the solenoid should be heard or the vibration of the control valve solenoid or height control accumulator should be felt.

GO TO STEP 3

OK

REPLACE SUSPENSION CONTROL ECU

2.

CHECK SUSPENSION CONTROL ECU*2

(a) Using SST, connect terminals 12 (TS) and 4 (CG) of the DLC3.

SST: 09843-18040

(b) Push the DOWN button of the height select switch 5 times or more within 5 seconds after starting the engine.

HINT:

At this time the height control OFF indicator light flashes at 0.25 second intervals.

(c) Perform each solenoid inspection by the switches of the following table, then check that the operation sound of the solenoid or the vibration of the control valve or height control accumulator.
