DTC C1744/44: Tank Solenoid Valve Circuit: Procedure

  1. CHECK DTC OUTPUT 
    1. Check DTCs. Refer to DTC CHECK / CLEAR .
      1. Confirm if the DTC C1761/61 and/or C1774/74 is recorded.

        OK

        DTC C1761/61 and/or C1774/74 is not output.

        HINT: 

        If either DTCC1761/61 (ECU malfunction). Refer to DTC C1761/61: ECU Malfunction  or C1774/74 (power source circuit). Refer to DTC C1774/74: Power Source Circuit  is displayed, carry out the necessary inspection. If they are output at the same time, carry out the necessary inspection for DTC C1774/74 first.

    NG → REPAIR CIRCUIT INDICATED BY OUTPUT CODE 

    OK: Go to next step 

  2. PERFORM ACTIVE TEST USING TECHSTREAM 

    HINT: 

    When not using Techstream, go to step  3.

    1. Connect the Techstream to the DLC3.
    2. Turn the ignition switch to the ON position, and push the Techstream main switch on.
    3. Select the item below in the ACTIVE TEST, and operate it with the Techstream.

      Air suspension

      Item Vehicle Condition / Test Details Diagnostic Note
      Low Pressure Tank Solenoid Turn OFF tank solenoid valve one second after turning it ON Operation of solenoid (clicking sound) can be heard
    4. Check whether the tank solenoid valve has a continuity (will vibrate).

      OK

      The solenoid makes sound, and the tank solenoid valve has a continuity (will vibrate).

    NG → Go to next step 

    OK → REPLACE SUSPENSION CONTROL ECU 

  3. INSPECT TANK SOLENOID VALVE 
    1. Disconnect the tank solenoid valve connector.

    2. Measure the resistance according to the values in the table below.

      Standard resistance

      Tester Connection Specified Condition
      1 (SLLO) - 2 (GND) 12 +- 2 Ω
    3. Check the operating sound of the tank solenoid valve when positive battery voltage is applied to the terminals.
      Battery Positive Battery Negative
      1 (SLLO) 2 (GND)

      OK

      It should make an operating sound (click).

      HINT: 

      When a malfunction is found in the tank solenoid valve, replace the pneumatic tank assembly.

    NG → REPLACE PNEUMATIC W/TUBE TANK ASSEMBLY 

    OK: Go to next step 

  4. CHECK HARNESS AND CONNECTOR (SUSPENSION CONTROL ECU - TANK SOLENOID VALVE) 
    1. Disconnect the suspension control ECU S14 connector.

    2. Measure the resistance according to the values in the table below.

      Standard resistance

      Tester Connection Specified Condition
      S14-7 (SLLO) - P7-1 (SLLO) Below 1 Ω
      S14-7 (SLLO) - Body ground 10 kΩ or higher

    NG → REPAIR OR REPLACE HARNESS OR CONNECTOR 

    OK: Go to next step 

  5. CHECK HARNESS AND CONNECTOR (TANK SOLENOID VALVE - BODY GROUND) 
    1. Measure the resistance according to the values in the table below.

      Standard resistance

      Tester Connection Specified Condition
      P7-2 (GND) - Body ground Below 1 Ω

    NG → REPAIR OR REPLACE HARNESS OR CONNECTOR 

    OK → REPLACE SUSPENSION CONTROL ECU
