Electronic Damping Component Overview

The body acceleration sensors may not be interchanged with each other.






1 Damping Adjustment Button (E387)

Component location: In the center console, on the right side next to the shift lever.

Explanation, refer to => [ Damping Adjustment Button E387 ] Description and Operation.

2 Shock Absorber with Right Rear Damping Adjustment Valve (N339)

Removing and installing, refer to one of the following:

Front Wheel Drive (FWD), refer to => [ Shock Absorber, with Adaptive Chassis DCC ] Shock Absorber, with Adaptive Chassis DCC.

All Wheel Drive (AWD), refer to => [ Shock Absorber, with Adaptive Chassis DCC ] Shock Absorber, with Adaptive Chassis DCC.

3 Electronic Damping Control Module (J250)

Component location: Behind the right side luggage compartment trim.

Removing and installing, refer to => [ Electronic Damping Control Module J250 ] Service and Repair.

If the module was replaced, then a basic setting to the adaptive chassis DCC must be performed. Refer to => [ Adaptive Chassis DCC, Basic Setting ] Testing and Inspection.

If a basic setting was performed on the adaptive chassis DCC on a vehicles with lane assist, then the directional stabilization assistance control module must be re-calibrated. Refer to => [ Lane Assist, Calibrating ] Lane Assist, Calibrating.

4 Rear Body Acceleration Sensor (G343)
