DTC (Adaptive Damper System)

  1. Problem verification

    -1. Turn the vehicle to the ON mode.

    -2. Clear the DTC with the HDS.

    -3. Turn the vehicle to the OFF (LOCK) mode, then to the ON mode.

    -4. Check for DTCs with the HDS.

    DTC Description DTC
    C1640-12 Left Front Damper Solenoid Circuit Short Failure  
    C1641-12 Right Front Damper Solenoid Circuit Short Failure  
    C1642-12 Left Rear Damper Solenoid Circuit Short Failure  
    C1643-12 Right Rear Damper Solenoid Circuit Short Failure  

    Is DTC C1640-12, C1641-12, C1642-12, or C1643-12 indicated?

    YES 

    The failure is duplicated. Go to step 2.

    NO 

    Intermittent failure, the system is OK at this time. Refer to intermittent failures troubleshooting .

  2. Shorted wire check (ADS COIL OUT lines wire to wire)

    -1. Turn the vehicle to the OFF (LOCK) mode.

    -2. Disconnect the following connectors.

    Adaptive damper control unit 24P connector
    Appropriate damper actuator 2P connector

    -3. Check for continuity between the appropriate adaptive damper control unit 24P connector terminals (see table).

    Test condition Vehicle OFF (LOCK) mode
      Adaptive damper control unit 24P connector: disconnected
      Appropriate damper actuator 2P connector: disconnected
    DTC Circuit Name Adaptive damper control unit 24P connector
    C1640-12 (Left-front) ADS COIL OUT FL H No. 3
    ADS COIL OUT FL L No. 4
    C1641-12 (Right-front) ADS COIL OUT FR H No. 10
    ADS COIL OUT FR L No. 9
    C1642-12 (Left-rear) ADS COIL OUT RL H No. 5
    ADS COIL OUT RL L No. 11
    C1643-12 (Right-rear) ADS COIL OUT RR H No. 7
    ADS COIL OUT RR L No. 6

    Is there continuity?

    YES 

    Repair a short in the wire between the adaptive damper control unit and appropriate damper actuator.

    NO
