DTC C1734/34 Leveling Solenoid Valve Circuit
CIRCUIT DESCRIPTION
The suspension control ECU opens the leveling solenoid valve (height control valve) to lead the compressed
air to the height control cylinder (pneumatic cylinder) and to raise the vehicle height.
The height control valve consists of a leveling solenoid valve and a gate solenoid valve.
The leveling solenoid valve opens and closes the passage between the compressor and the height control
cylinder (pneumatic cylinder).
DTC No.DTC Detecting ConditionTrouble Area
C1734/34
Either of the following conditions is detected:
1. With the height control valve inactivated, an open signal of
the height control valve is detected for 1 sec. or more.
2. With the height control valve activated, a short signal of the
valve is detected 8 times successively.

Suspension control ECU
HINT:

Once the ECU stores DTC C1734/34 in the memory, the vehicle height control is suspended until a
normal signal is input to the ECU from the height control solenoid valves. However, control is resumed
if the ignition switch is turned OFF, then ON again.

Malfunction in the leveling solenoid valve:
The height control operation is suspended, and the height control indicator lamp does not change by
operating the height control switch.

INSPECTION PROCEDURE
HINT:

If DTC C1761/61 (ECU malfunction) and/or C1774/74 (power source circuit) is displayed, perform the
inspection necessary for DTC C1761/61 (See page DI±761) and/or C1774/74 (See page DI±763) first.
(If DTC C1761/61 and the C1774/74 are output at the same time, perform the inspection necessary
for DTC C1774/74 first.)

Start the inspection from step 1 when using the hand±held tester, and start from step 2 when not using
the hand±held tester
1 Perform active test using hand±held tester.
PREPARATION:
(a) Connect the hand±held tester to the DLC3.
(b) Turn the ignition switch ON, and push the hand±held tester main switch ON.
(c) Select the item ºLEVEL SOL REARº in the ACTIVE TEST, and operate it with the hand±held tester.

DTC C1735/35 Exhaust Solenoid Valve Circuit
CIRCUIT DESCRIPTION
The suspension control ECU operates the exhaust solenoid valve (height control compressor), releases the
air from the height control cylinder assy (pneumatic cylinder), and lowers vehicle height.
When the vehicle height is lowered, the suspension control ECU opens the height control valve and then
operates the exhaust solenoid valve to release the compressed air to the outside.
The exhaust solenoid valve is on the compressor unit and has only one valve.
