  1. WHEN LIFTING UP VEHICLE When jacking up or lifting up, stop operation of the air suspension control system by pressing the height control OFF switch.
  2. DISCONNECTION AND CONNECTION OF HEIGHT CONTROL TUBE NOTE: Disconnection and connection of the height control tube should be performed by hand to prevent foreign objects from entering. Never damage the height control tube. Disconnect the height control tube. Pinch "A" of the connector No. 1 and pull out from the housing. Set the SST to the tube. SST 09730-00010 Insert SST into the housing to expand the claw of the connector No. 2 in the housing. Pull out the tube with SST inserted. NOTE: Do not pull on the tube with excessive force. Insert a screwdriver into the circular hole on the housing, and remove the connector No. 2, the 2 O-rings and the plate from the housing. HINT: The O-rings, plate and connector No. 2 are non-reusable parts. Install height control tube O-ring and the plate. NOTE: When replacing the parts on which the tube to be installed with a new one, it is not necessary to perform the procedure for installation. Apply MP grease to 2 new O-rings and plate and install them to the straight tube or an equivalent. NOTE: Install the plate between the O-rings. Keep foreign matter from adhering to the O-rings and the height control tube in order to prevent air leaks. Insert the tube on which the 2 O-rings and plate are installed into the housing, and then push it in lightly with a piece of rolled up cardboard. Push the connector No. 2 into the housing to where a clicking sound is heard. Install the height control tube. Push the tube and connector No. 1 into the housing to where a clicking sound is heard. NOTE: The port (hole) of the housing should be set in the position 90° from the claws of connector No. 1. Pull the tube lightly to make sure that it is securely connected. Prevent foreign matter from being attached to the O-rings and height control tube. Failure to do so may cause air leakage.
  3. HANDLING PRECAUTIONS FOR CENTER UNIT AND SHOCK ABSORBER Replacement of each unit is allowed if there is no oil leakage. But, in case of oil leakage from the system, replace both the absorber and the center unit as a set. For replacement of the system, make it possible to replace a unit only at the first time and replace the system as a set of delivery at the second time or later. When carrying each unit, be sure to hold the body of the unit and never hang the body by holding joint parts or hoses. Also, do not deform metal tubes. Each unit should not be at a high temperature at the time of replacement. Since the shock absorber could be damaged by a sudden temperature change as being disconnected from the center unit, be careful about its storage. Do not loosen the union bolt except the time of the disposal of each unit. Never loosen the absorber hoses and the flare nuts at the joint parts.
  4. REMOVAL AND INSTALLATION PRECAUTION FOR CENTER UNIT AND SHOCK ABSORBER Conduct the operations as stretching all the shock absorbers out by jacking up the vehicle. Never put a great compressive load to the shock absorbers, such as contacting the tires on the ground, before connecting them to the center unit to avoid the break down. Avoid the contacting surfaces of the joint parts to get any foreign objects, and wipe them away so as not to damage the O-rings in case of the adhesion. Be sure to fit the detentes attached to the bracket on the front absorber hose side, the rear absorber hose side and the middle unit joint part into a hole on the frame side. Never loosen the absorber hoses and the flare nuts at the joint parts. For the joint that is connecting the supplied parts, tighten the joint as checking the gap spacing shown in the illustration. Dimension of gap: 1 mm (0.04 in.) Torque: 25 N*m (255 kgf*cm, 18 ft.*lbf)

DESCRIPTION

Inside the sensor, a brush integrated with the control sensor rotor shaft moves above the resistor, providing linear output. Since the resistance value between the brush and resistor terminal changes in proportion to the shaft rotation angle, the fixed voltage applied to the resistor by ECU is modified by the sensor and output to the ECU as a voltage indicating the shaft rotation angle.

DTC DETECTION CONDITION TABLE

HINT

  1. Once the ECU stores DTC C1713/13 or C1714/14 in the memory, vehicle height control is suspended and not carried out until a normal signal is input to the ECU from the height control sensor sub-assembly. However, the control resumes if the ignition switch is turned OFF, and then turned ON again.
  2. When the suspension control ECU detects a malfunction in the height control sensor, the height control indicator light "N" comes on or blinks, and the height control switch ("HI" and "LO") is suspended.
  3. When either one of the right or left height control sensor sub-assembly is faulty, the suspension control ECU uses the other one (functioning one) to adjust the vehicle height to the normal height. When both of the height control sensor sub-assembly are faulty, the suspension control ECU suspend the height control function immediately.

Scheme 21

Scheme 21: WIRING DIAGRAM

The suspension control ECU opens the height control valve to lead the compressed air to the height control cylinder (pneumatic cylinder) and to raise the vehicle height.

When the vehicle height is lowered, the suspension control ECU opens the height control valve to store the compressed air in the low pressure tank temporarily, and then operates the exhaust solenoid valve to release the compressed air to the outside.

Further, the height control solenoid valve (gate solenoid valve) opens and closes the passage between the right and left pneumatic cylinder.

The height control valve is on the low pressure tank and consists of 3 valves in total, leveling solenoid valve, gate solenoid valve and tank solenoid valve.

The leveling solenoid valve opens and closes the passage between the compressor and the pneumatic cylinder. The gate solenoid valve opens and closes the passage between the right and left pneumatic cylinder. The tank solenoid valve opens and closes the passage between pneumatic cylinder and the low pressure tank. The exhaust solenoid valve is on the compressor unit and has only one valve.

HINT

  1. Once the ECU stores DTC C1733/33, C1734/34, C1735/35 or C1744/44 in the memory, the vehicle height control is suspended out until a normal signal is input to the ECU from the height control solenoid valves and the exhaust solenoid valve. However, control is resumed if the ignition switch is turned OFF, then ON again.
  2. Malfunction in the gate solenoid valve and the leveling solenoid valve: The height control operation is suspended, and the height control indicator light does not change by operating the height control switch.
  3. Malfunction in the exhaust solenoid valve: The vehicle height is lowered to the normal height within 30 sec, and then the height control operation is suspended. The height control indicator light "N" comes on or blinks, and that of "HI" and "LO" do not illuminated by operating the height control switch "UP" and "DOWN".
  4. Abnormality of the tank solenoid valve: Although the height control is still possible, the vehicle lowering speed may be slower.

Scheme 22

Scheme 22: WIRING DIAGRAM

When the "UP" side of the height control switch is pressed, a signal is sent from terminal RC of the suspension control ECU to the AIR SUS relay to turn it on.

As a result, the current flows to the AIR SUS relay coil, closing the relay contact, and then the battery positive voltage is applied to the compressor, which causes the compressed air to raise the vehicle height.

DTC DETECTION CONDITION TABLE

If the vehicle height control is attempted on a steeply sloping road, when the vehicle is overloaded, or when the vehicle is jacked up with the engine running, the compressor motor operates continuously to raise vehicle height, and causes electric current to flow to the AIR SUS relay for 100 seconds or longer. Thus DTC C1751/51 may be output and vehicle height control may be suspended. (This is not electrically abnormal.) In this case, however, the vehicle height operation is resumed approx. 10 min. after the ignition switch is turned ON after the ECU detects the first error. If ECU detects another error, it takes 70 minutes until control is resumed.
