      Tester Display Measurement Item/Range Normal Condition Diagnostic Note
      Height Sens Pw Supply Val Rear height control sensor power supply value / 0 to 5.00 V Approx. 5.0 V -

      OK

      Normal condition listed above is displayed.

    NG → See step   3 

    OK → See step   5 

  3. INSPECT REAR HEIGHT CONTROL SENSOR SUB-ASSEMBLY RH 
    1. Connect 3 dry cell batteries (1.5 V) in series.

    2. Remove the rear height control sensor sub-assembly RH. Refer to REMOVAL .
    3. Connect the positive (+) lead from the batteries to terminal 3 (SHB) and the negative (-) lead from the batteries to terminal 1 (SHG).
    4. Measure the voltage between terminals 2 (SHRR) and 1 (SHG) while slowly moving the link up and down.

      Standard Voltage

      Tester Connection Condition Specified Condition
      2 (SHRR) - 1 (SHG) +45° (High) 4.05 V
      11.9° (Normal) 2.25 V
      -45° (Low) 0.45 V

    NG → See step   6 

    OK: Go to next step 

  4. CHECK HARNESS AND CONNECTOR (HEADLIGHT LEVELING ECU ASSEMBLY - HEIGHT CONTROL SENSOR) 
    1. Disconnect the A48 headlight leveling ECU assembly connector.
    2. Disconnect the S3 rear height control sensor sub-assembly RH connector.
    3. Measure the resistance according to the value(s) in the table below.

      Standard Resistance

      Tester Connection Condition Specified Condition
      A48-12 (SBR) - S3-3 (SHB) Always Below 1 Ω
      A48-19 (SHRL) - S3-2 (SHRR) Always Below 1 Ω
      A48-21 (SGR) - S3-1 (SHG) Always Below 1 Ω
      A48-12 (SBR) - Body ground Always 10 kΩ or higher
      A48-19 (SHRL) - Body ground Always 10 kΩ or higher
      A48-21 (SGR) - Body ground Always 10 kΩ or higher

    NG → REPAIR OR REPLACE HARNESS OR CONNECTOR 

    OK → See step   5 

  5. REPLACE HEADLIGHT LEVELING ECU ASSEMBLY. Refer to  REMOVAL 
  6. REPLACE REAR HEIGHT CONTROL SENSOR SUB-ASSEMBLY RH. Refer to  REMOVAL 
  7. USE SIMULATION METHOD TO CHECK. Refer to  HOW TO PROCEED WITH TROUBLESHOOTING
