Operation Check
- CHECK ABSORBER CONTROL ACTUATOR OPERATION
- Remove the actuator with its connectors still connected.
- Turn the engine switch off.
- Using SST, connect the terminals 12 (TS) and 4 (CG) of the DLC3.
SST 09843-18040
- Start the engine.
- Check that the absorber control indicator light "SPORT" is blinking in test mode.
HINT:
If the absorber control indicator light does not blink, inspect the indicator circuit and TS and CG terminal circuit.
TROUBLE AREA TABLETrouble Area INDICATOR CIRCUIT TS AND CG TERMINAL CIRCUIT - Check absorber control actuator operation:
- Starting from the above mentioned position, as the brake pedal is depressed, the absorber control actuator position will increase by 2 steps (1 (SOFT) → 3 → 5 → 7 → 9 → 11 → 13 → 15 → 17 (HARD)). At this time, bounce the vehicle and check that the shock absorber is becoming harder.
HINT:
- 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 engine switch is turned off.
- If the absorber control actuator does not operate, inspect the absorber control actuator circuit and absorber control actuator installation condition.
- Starting from the above mentioned position, as the brake pedal is depressed, the absorber control actuator position will increase by 2 steps (1 (SOFT) → 3 → 5 → 7 → 9 → 11 → 13 → 15 → 17 (HARD)). At this time, bounce the vehicle and check that the shock absorber is becoming harder.
- CHECK CONNECTIONS OF TUBES FOR AIR LEAKAGE
- Set the height control switch in the "HEIGHT HIGH" position and raise the vehicle height.
- Stop the engine.
- Apply soapy water to the connections of the tubes and check if there is any air leakage.
