SUSPENSION CONTROL: ADAPTIVE VARIABLE SUSPENSION SYSTEM: OPERATION CHECK

OPERATION CHECK

1. CHECK ABSORBER CONTROL ACTUATOR OPERATION





(a) Using SST, connect the terminals 12 (TS) and 4 (CG) of the DLC3.
SST: 09843-18040

(b) Turn the power switch ON (READY).





(c) Check that the absorber control indicator light is blinking in Test Mode.
HINT: If the absorber control indicator light does not blink, inspect the absorber control indicator light circuit and TS and CG terminal circuit.










(d) Check absorber control actuator operation.
Starting from the SOFT position, depress the brake pedal. Using Techstream, check that the absorber control actuator position increases by 2 steps each time the brake pedal is depressed (1 (SOFT) -> 3 -> 5 -> 7 -> 9 -> 11 -> 15 -> 17 (HARD)). At this time, bounce the vehicle and check that the shock absorber is becoming harder.
- Every time the brake pedal is depressed, the absorber control actuator rotates in the hard to soft direction in 15° intervals up to a maximum angle of 120°.
- To hold the absorber control actuator at a specific position, adjust it using the above mentioned procedure, then increase the vehicle speed to 5 km/h (3 mph).
After that, the absorber control actuator position does not change until the power switch is turned OFF.
- If the absorber control actuator does not operate, inspect the absorber control actuator circuit and absorber control actuator installation condition.





(e) Turn the power switch OFF.
(f) Disconnect SST from terminal 12 (TS) and 4 (CG) of the DLC3.
(g) Turn the power switch ON (IG).
HINT: If the power switch remains ON (IG) after SST is removed from DLC3, the vehicle will remain in the previously initialized Test Mode.
