System Components
Control Unit, 3 Vertical G-sensors, Lateral G-sensor, 4
Actuators, 4 Adjustable Damping Force Shock
Absorbers, and Warning Lamp.
Control Unit
The Control Unit consists of Adjustable Damping Force
Shock Absorber control circuits, fault detector, and a
fail-safe. It drives the actuator according to the signal
from each sensor.
The Control Unit has a self-diagnosing function which can
indicate faulty circuits during diagnosis.
The Control Unit is mounted in the center of the
instrument panel.
Actuator
Front actuators installed on front shock absorbers and
rear actuator installed inside rear shock absorbers control
damping force of shock absorber by the Control Unit
signal.
Adjustable Damping Force Shock
Absorber
This type shock absorber is used in front and rear
intelligent suspension. According to running condition the
Control Unit changes shock absorber damping force and
obtains good running stability.
Warning Lamp
821R200011Vehicles equipped with the Intelligent Suspension Control
have an amber warning lamp in the instrument panel. The
warning lamp will illuminate if a malfunction in the
Intelligent Suspension Control is detected by the Control
Unit. In case of an important electronic malfunction, the
Control Unit will turnªONº the warning lamp.

DTC2 Actuator Coil Over Current
Circuit Description
The A, B, C, and D are the actuator motor coil terminals.
DC 12V driving voltage is applied between terminals A
and C and terminals B and D so that the shock absorber
oil valves are rotated at every 7.5 step feed.
Diagnostic Aids
Inspect the wiring for poor electrical connections
between the control unit 24 way connector and the
actuator connectors. Look for possible bent, backed
out, deformed, or damaged terminals. Check for
weak terminal tension as well.
Also check for a chafed wire that could short to bare
metal or other wiring. Inspect for a broken wire inside
the insulation.
When diagnosing for a possible intermittent short or
open condition, move the wiring harness while
observing test equipment for a change.

DTC3 Actuator Coil/Position Sensor Open Circuit or Short
Circuit Description
The A, B, C, and D are the actuator motor coil terminals.
DC 12V driving voltage is applied between terminals A
and C and terminals B and D so that the shock absorber
oil valves are rotated at every 7.5 step feed.
The PSW is actuator position signal and detects relative
angles between the piston±rod and the control-rod. The
actuator outputs the PSW to the control unit.
Diagnostic Aids
Inspect the wiring for poor electrical connections
between the control unit 16 way connector and the
actuator connectors. Look for possible bent, backed
out, deformed, or damaged terminals. Check for
weak terminal tension as well.
Also check for a chafed wire that could short to bare
metal or other wiring. Inspect for a broken wire inside
the insulation.

DTC6 Stop Lamp Switch Open Circuit or Short
Circuit Description
The brake switch is used to indicate brake pedal status.
The normally opened brake switch signal voltage circuit is
opened.
Brake switch supplies a B+ signal on circuit RED to the
control unit when the brakes are applied. The control unit
uses this signal to work dive control when the brakes are
applied.
Diagnostic Aids
Inspect the wiring for poor electrical connections at
the control unit and brake switch. Look for possible
bent, backed out, deformed or damaged terminals.
Check for weak terminal tension as well. Also check
for a chafed wire that could short to bare metal or
other wiring. Inspect for a broken wire inside the
insulation.
When diagnosing for a possible intermittent short or
open condition, move the wiring harness while
observing test equipment for a change.
Check customer driving habits and/or unusual driving
conditions (i.e. stop and go, highway).
Check brake switch for proper mounting and
adjustment.
