C1714

DTC C1714 Open or Short Circuit In Left Rear Height Control Sensor Circuit

CIRCUIT DESCRIPTION

DTC Detection Condition:




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

HINT:
- Code C1711/11 corresponds to the right front height control sensor circuit.
- Code C1712/12 corresponds to the left front height control sensor circuit.
- Code C1713/13 corresponds to the right rear height control sensor circuit.
- Code C1714 /14 corresponds to the left rear height control sensor circuit.

Once ECU stores DTC C1711/11, C1712/12, C1713/13 or C1714/14 in memory, vehicle height control and damping force control are not carried out until a normal signal is input to the ECU from the height control sensor.

However, control is resumed if the ignition switch is turned OFF, then ON again.
