Rear Height Sensor: Inspection
WARNING: This page is about a different car, the 2015 Subaru Outback and 2015 Subaru Legacy. However, it is still accessible from the selected car via links, so may be relevant.
Preparation tool:
Circuit tester
- Connect three dry cell batteries (1.5 V) in series.NOTE:
- Use new dry-cell batteries.
- Using circuit tester, check that the initial voltage of a single dry-cell battery is 1.6 V or more. And also check that the voltage of three batteries in series is between 4.8 V and 5.2 V.
- For power supply, 5 V DC voltage source can also be used.
- Connect the cell battery positive terminal to the connector terminal No. 3, and the cell battery negative terminal to the connector terminal No. 1.
- With voltage applied, measure the voltage between connector terminals when the sensor link is moved slowly up and down.
