SYSTEM DESCRIPTION
1. GENERAL
This system uses pneumatic cylinders instead of the coil springs that are used in a conventional rear
suspension. The suspension control ECU analyzes the information based on the switches, sensors,
and input signals, operates the compressor assy, and uses the solenoid valves to control the vehicle
height.
The suspension control ECU detects, via the height control sensor, the changes in the rear vehicle
height that results from the number of occupants or the amount of the load. Then, the suspension con-
trol ECU controls the height control solenoid valves and the compressor assy in order to automatically
adjust the rear vehicle height to a constant (normal) vehicle height.
Furthermore, three vehicle heights can be selected by operating the height control switch: HI, NOR-
MAL, and LO. The HI vehicle height ensures the vehicle's drive±through performance on rough roads.
The LO vehicle height facilitates the entry and exit of the occupants and the loading and unloading
of cargo. The NORMAL vehicle height helps realize excellent controllability and riding comfort during
normal driving.

3. FUNCTION OF MAIN COMPONENTS
ComponentOutline
Height Control Mode Select SwitchUsed to select vehicle height control mode (Auto/Manual).
Used to operate or stop auto leveling control.
Height Control SwitchAuto mode: Used to select vehicle height (HIGH, NORMAL, LOW).
Manual mode: Used to select vehicle height optionally.
Height Control SensorConverts the vertical change of the rear axle, in proportion to the standard, to sig-
nals and detects vehicle height.
Height Control Indicator Lamp (Combination Meter)Auto mode: Target vehicle height is displayed (HIGH, NORMAL, LOW).
Manual mode: Current vehicle height is displayed (HIGH, NORMAL, LOW).
Height Control Manual Indicator Lamp (Combination Meter)
Comes on during manual mode.
Blinks when the suspension control ECU detects a system malfunction.
Blinks during test mode.
Displays output DTC.
Stop light SwitchDetects braking condition.
Used to clear DTCs.
Pneumatic Cylinder (Height Control Cylinder Assy)Supports the vehicle body and adjusts the vehicle height.
Height Control Compressor Assy (Compressor/Height Con-
trol Dryer)The compressor generates compressed air that is necessary to raise vehicle
height and supplies it to the height control cylinder assy.
The dryer removes moisture from the compressed air.
Exhaust Solenoid ValveDrains the air in the height control cylinder assy when vehicle height is lowered.
(Built into the height control compressor assy)
Leveling Solenoid ValveOpens or closes the passage between the height cylinder assy and height control
compressor assy.
Gate Solenoid ValveOpens or closes the passage between the right and left height control cylinder assy
(Built into the leveling solenoid valve).
Suspension Control ECU
Estimates vehicle condition based on the signals from sensors and switches, and
outputs the control signals to the compressor and valves.
Blinks the height control manual indicator light when a system malfunction is de-
tected.
Air Suspension RelaySupplies power to the height control compressor assy.
Door Courtesy Switch (Body ECU)Detects whether the 5 doors, including the back door, are opened or closed, and
sends the signals to the suspension control ECU.
ECMSends the engine speed signal, etc. to the suspension control ECU through CAN
communication.
Speed Sensor (Skid Control ECU)Sends the vehicle wheel speed signal, etc. to the suspension control ECU through
CAN communication via the translate ECU.

PROBLEM SYMPTOMS TABLE
HINT:
If a normal system code is displayed during the DTC check but the problem still occurs, check the cir-
cuits for each problem symptom in the order given in the table below and proceed to the relevant trou-
bleshooting page.
Inspect the fuse before inspecting the suspected areas as shown in the chart below.
Inspect each malfunction circuit in numerical order for the corresponding symptom.
If the malfunction still exists even after checking and confirming that all the circuits are normal, replace
the suspension control ECU.
SymptomSuspected AreaSee page
Vehicle height control function does not operate.
If the compressor remains on for an excessive period of
time or turns on and off repeatedly, the system control will
be halted for up to 70 minutes, after which the system will
return to normal operation.
