DTC

C1736

Front Suspension Control Valve RH Malfunction

DTC

C1737

Front Suspension Control Valve LH Malfunction

DESCRIPTION

In order to decrease roll angle/pitch angle, the suspension control ECU turns the spring rate switching valve in the front suspension control valve off/on to change the fluid lines when the acceleration sensor or yaw rate sensor signal is input into the suspension control ECU. Normally, the spring rate switching valve is open.

DTC Code

Detection Condition

Trouble area

C1736

When either of the following is detected:

  • With the spring rate switch valve RH not activated, an open signal of the spring rate switch valve RH is detected for 1 second or more.
  • With the spring rate switch valve RH activated, a short signal of the spring rate switch valve RH is detected 8 times successively.
  • Harness or connector
  • Front suspension control valve RH (Front spring rate switching valve RH)
  • Suspension control ECU
  • No. 1 height control valve

C1737

When either of the following is detected:

  • With the spring rate switch valve LH not activated, an open signal of the spring rate switch valve LH is detected for 1 second or more.
  • With the spring rate switch valve LH activated, a short signal of the spring rate switch valve LH is detected 8 times successively.
  • Harness or connector
  • Front suspension control valve LH (Front spring rate switching valve LH)
  • Suspension control ECU
  • No. 1 height control valve

INSPECTION PROCEDURE

HINT:

Power is supplied to the front suspension control valve and No. 1 height control valve from the suspension control ECU. If a short occurs in the power supply circuit in the No. 1 height control valve, DTC C1736 and/or C1737 will be stored. In this case, DTC C1741, C1742, C1743, C1744, C1753, C1754 and/or C1755 will also be stored.

PROCEDURE

1.

PERFORM ACTIVE TEST USING TECHSTREAM (FRONT SPRING RATE SWITCHING VALVE)

(a) Turn the engine switch off.

(b) Connect the Techstream to the DLC3.

(c) Start the engine and turn the Techstream on.

(d) Enter the following menus: Chassis / AHC / Active Test.

(e) Check the operation of the front spring rate switching valve solenoid when operating the solenoid with the Techstream.

Diagnostic Note

FR Gas Spring Switch Valve

Front spring rate switching valve RH

ON or OFF

When the FR Gas Spring Switch Valve item of the Active Test is operated, the FR Gas Spring Switch Valve item of the Data List changes to ON/OFF.

FL Gas Spring Switch Valve

Front spring rate switching valve LH

ON or OFF

When the FL Gas Spring Switch Valve item of the Active Test is operated, the FL Gas Spring Switch Valve item of the Data List changes to ON/OFF.

OK:

The front spring rate switching valve operates.

OK

2.

RECONFIRM DTC OUTPUT

(a) Clear the DTCs SUSPENSION CONTROL: ACTIVE HEIGHT CONTROL SUSPENSION: INITIALIZATION (2008 LX570) .

(b) Perform a road test.

(c) Check for DTCs.
