Inspection Procedure

HINT:

  1. READ VALUE OF HAND-HELD TESTER 
    1. Connect the hand-held tester to DLC3.
    2. Turn the ignition switch ON, and push the hand-held tester main switch ON.
    3. Select the item "RL HEIGHT" or "RR HEIGHT" in the DATA LIST, and read its value displayed on the hand-held tester.
    4. Check the vehicle height value of the height control sensor sub-assy rear with the hand-held tester while pressing the height control switch "UP" and "DOWN".

      Standard: 

      Vehicle height value changes. 

    1. OK: CHECK AND REPLACE SUSPENSION CONTROL ECU (See  ELECTRONIC CIRCUIT INSPECTION PROCEDURE  ) 
    2. NG: Go to next step 
  2. CHECK HARNESS AND CONNECTOR (HEIGHT CONTROL SENSOR SUB-ASSY REAR POWER SOURCE) 
    1. Disconnect the height control sensor sub-assy rear connector.

    2. Height control sensor sub-assy rear LH:

      Turn the ignition switch ON, and measure voltage between terminal 1 (SHB) and 3 (SHG) of the height control sensor sub-assy rear wire harness side connector.

      • Standard:  4.5 to 5.5 V
    3. Height control sensor sub-assy rear RH:

      Turn the ignition switch ON, and measure voltage between terminal 1 (SHG) and 3 (SHB) of the height control sensor sub-assy rear wire harness side connector.

      • Standard:  4.5 to 5.5 V
    1. OK: Go to step   4 
    2. NG: Go To Next Step 
  3. CHECK HARNESS AND CONNECTOR (HEIGHT CONTROL SENSOR SUB-ASSY REAR - SUSPENSION CONTROL ECU) 

    Height control sensor sub-assy rear LH: 

    1. Check for open and short circuit in the harness and the connector between terminal 1 (SHB) of the height control sensor sub-assy rear and S18-22 (SBL2) of the suspension control ECU (See ELECTRONIC CIRCUIT INSPECTION PROCEDURE ).
    2. Check for open and short circuit in the harness and the connector between terminal 3 (SHG) of the height control sensor sub-assy rear and S18-21 (SGL2) of the suspension control ECU (See ELECTRONIC CIRCUIT INSPECTION PROCEDURE ).

    Height control sensor sub-assy rear RH: 

    1. Check for open and short circuit in the harness and the connector between terminal 1 (SHG) of the height control sensor sub-assy rear and S18-19 (SGR2) of the suspension control ECU (See ELECTRONIC CIRCUIT INSPECTION PROCEDURE ).
    2. Check for open and short circuit in the harness and the connector between terminal 3 (SHB) of the height control sensor sub-assy rear and S18-20 (SBR2) of the suspension control ECU (See ELECTRONIC CIRCUIT INSPECTION PROCEDURE ).
    1. NG: REPAIR OR REPLACE HARNESS OR CONNECTOR 
    2. OK: Go To Next Step 
  4. CHECK HARNESS AND CONNECTOR (HEIGHT CONTROL SENSOR SUB-ASSY REAR - SUSPENSION CONTROL ECU) 

    Height control sensor sub-assy rear LH: 

    1. Check for open and short circuit in the harness and the connector between terminal 2 (SHRL) of the height control sensor sub-assy rear and S18-23 (SHRL) of the suspension control ECU (See ELECTRONIC CIRCUIT INSPECTION PROCEDURE ).

    Height control sensor sub-assy rear RH: 

    1. Check for open and short circuit in the harness and the connector between terminal 2 (SHRR) of the height control sensor sub-assy rear and S18-24 (SHRR) of the suspension control ECU (See ELECTRONIC CIRCUIT INSPECTION PROCEDURE ).
    1. NG: REPAIR OR REPLACE HARNESS OR CONNECTOR 
    2. OK: Go To Next Step 
  5. INSPECT HEIGHT CONTROL SENSOR SUB-ASSY REAR 
    1. Remove the height control sensor sub-assy rear LH or RH.

    2. Connect 3 dry batteries of 1.5 V in series.
    3. Height control sensor sub-assy rear LH:

      Connect terminal 1 (SHB) to the batteries' positive (+) terminal, and terminal 3 (SHG) to the batteries' negative (-) terminal, then apply approximately 4.5 V between terminal 2 (SHRL) and 3 (SHG) in the following conditions.

      Standard: 

      STANDARD VOLTAGE

      Position Voltage
      High (0° to 45°) Approx. 2.53 to 4.33 V
      Normal (0°) Approx. 2.53 V
      Low (0° to -45°) Approx. 0.81 to 2.53 V

      Result: 

      RESULT OF VOLTAGE

      OK A
      NG B
    4. Height control sensor sub-assy rear RH:

      Connect terminal 3 (SHB) to the batteries' positive (+) terminal, and terminal 1 (SHG) to the batteries' negative (-) terminal, then apply approximately 4.5 V between terminal 1 (SHG) and 2 (SHRR) in the following conditions.

      Standard: 

      STANDARD VOLTAGE

      Position Voltage
      High (0° to 45°) Approx. 2.53 to 4.33 V
      Normal (0°) Approx. 2.53 V
      Low (0° to -45°) Approx. 0.81 to 2.53 V

      Result: 

      RESULT OF VOLTAGE
