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

      Standard resistance

      C1741:

      Tester Connection Condition Specified Condition
      3 (RH+) - 2 (E) at 15 to 25°C (59 to 77°F) 10 to 14 Ω
      C1742:

      Tester Connection Condition Specified Condition
      1 (LH+) - 2 (E) at 15 to 25°C (59 to 77°F) 10 to 14 Ω
      TEXT IN ILLUSTRATION

      *1 Component without harness connected
      (Height Control Valve No. 1)
    3. Check the front RH valve (C1741).
      1. Connect a positive (+) lead from the battery to terminal 3 (RH+) and a negative (-) lead to terminal 2 (E).
      2. Check the operating sound of the height control valve No. 1.

        OK

        It makes an operating sound (click).

    4. Check the front LH valve (C1742).
      1. Connect a positive (+) lead from the battery to terminal 1 (LH+) and a negative (-) lead to terminal 2 (E).
      2. Check the operating sound of the height control valve No. 1.

        OK

        It makes an operating sound (click).

    NG → See step   4 

    OK: Go to next step 

  2. CHECK HARNESS AND CONNECTOR (HEIGHT CONTROL VALVE - ECU AND BODY GROUND) 
    1. Disconnect the A54 ECU connector.
    2. Disconnect the A10 height control valve No. 1 connector.
    3. Measure the resistance according to the values in the table below.

      Standard resistance

      C1741:

      Tester Connection Condition Specified Condition
      A54-12 (SLFR) - A10-3 (RH+) Always Below 1 Ω
      A54-12 (SLFR) - Body ground Always 10 kΩ or higher
      A10-2 (E) - Body ground Always Below 1 Ω
      C1742:

      Tester Connection Condition Specified Condition
      A54-11 (SLFL) - A10-1 (LH+) Always Below 1 Ω
      A54-11 (SLFL) - Body ground Always 10 kΩ or higher
      A10-2 (E) - Body ground Always Below 1 Ω

      *1 Front view of wire harness connector
      (to Height Control Valve No. 1)
      *2 Rear view of wire harness connector
      (to Suspension Control ECU)

    NG → REPAIR OR REPLACE HARNESS OR CONNECTOR 

    OK → See step   3 

  3. REPLACE SUSPENSION CONTROL ECU. Refer to  REMOVAL 
  4. REPLACE HEIGHT CONTROL VALVE NO. 1. Refer to  REMOVAL
