Check the exhaust valve operation.

Apply battery voltage to the exhaust valve and check the operating sound of the height control valve.

Measurement Condition	Specified Condition
Battery positive (+) → Terminal 1 Battery negative (-) → Terminal 2	It should make an operating sound (click)

If the result is not as specified, replace the height control compressor.

INSPECT HEIGHT CONTROL COMPRESSOR (COMPRESSOR MOTOR)

Fig 3: Identifying Height Control Compressor Connector Terminals

Check the compressor operation.

Apply battery voltage to the compressor motor and check the operation of the height control compressor.

Measurement Condition	Specified Condition
Battery positive (+) → Terminal 1 (B) Battery negative (-) → Terminal 2 (E)	Motor operates

NOTE:

Do not operate the height control compressor for 60 seconds or more.
Since a short and a lock-up inside the height control compressor cause excessive current to flow, stop operation immediately when the compressor motor does not operate.

If the result is not as specified, replace the height control compressor.
