How to Perform Trouble Diagnoses for Quick and Accurate RepairEES001H3
INTRODUCTION
The rear load leveling air suspension system uses an electronic con-
trol unit to control major functions. The control unit accepts input sig-
nals from the height sensor and controls compressor and exhaust
valve operation.
It is much more difficult to diagnose a rear load leveling air suspen-
sion system problem that occurs intermittently rather than continu-
ously. Most intermittent problems are caused by poor electrical
connections or faulty wiring. In this case, careful checking of suspi-
cious circuits may help prevent the replacement of good parts.
Before undertaking actual checks, take just a few minutes to talk with
a customer who approaches with an air suspension system com-
plaint. The customer is a very good source of information on such
problems, especially intermittent ones. Through discussion with the
customer, find out what symptoms are present and under what con-
ditions they occur.
Start your diagnosis by looking for basic mechanical problems first.
This is one of the best ways to troubleshoot concerns on an air sus-
pension system equipped vehicle. Also check related Service Bulle-
tins for information.
CLARIFY CONCERN
A customer's description of a vehicle concern may vary depend-
ing on the individual. It is important to clarify the customer's con-
cern.
Ask the customer about what symptoms are present under what
conditions. Use this information to reproduce the symptom.

TROUBLE DIAGNOSIS
Revision: October 20052005 QX56
Basic InspectionEES001H6
AIR HOSES
1. Check for pinched or damaged air hoses between the suspension air reservoir and each load leveling rear
air suspension shock absorber. Reposition, repair or replace hoses as necessary.
2. Check the air hose connections at the suspension air reservoir and at the shock absorbers for leaks. If
connections are leaking, repair or replace hoses as necessary.
POWER SYSTEM TERMINAL LOOSENESS AND BATTERY INSPECTION
Make sure the battery positive cable, negative cable and ground connection are not loose. In addition, make
sure the battery is sufficiently charged.
CK SUSP INDICATOR LAMP INSPECTION
1. Make sure the CK SUSP indicator lamp turns on for approximately 2 seconds when the ignition switch is
turned ON. If it does not, check the combination meter. Refer to DI-5, "
COMBINATION METERS" .
2. Make sure the lamp turns off approximately 2 seconds after the ignition switch is turned ON. If the lamp
does not turn off, conduct self-diagnosis of the suspension control unit.
3. After conducting the self-diagnosis, be sure to erase the error memory. Refer to RSU-13, "
CONSULT-II
Function (AIR LEVELIZER)" .

CONSULT-II Function (AIR LEVELIZER)EES001H9
CONSULT-II can display each diagnostic item using the diagnostic test modes shown following.
CONSULT-II BASIC OPERATION PROCEDURE
CAUTION:
If CONSULT-II is used with no connection of CONSULT-II CONVERTER, malfunctions might be
detected in self-diagnosis depending on control unit which carries out CAN communication.
1. Turn ignition switch OFF.
2. Connect CONSULT-II and CONSULT-II CONVERTER to the
data link connector.
3. Turn ignition switch ON.
4. Touch "START (NISSAN BASED VHCL)".
5. Touch "AIR LEVELIZER" in the "SELECT SYSTEM" screen.
If "AIR LEVELIZER" is not indicated, go to GI-39, "
CONSULT-II
Data Link Connector (DLC) Circuit" .
AIR LEVELIZER
diagnostic modeDescription
WORK SUPPORTSupports inspection and adjustments. Commands are transmitted to the suspension control unit for
setting the status suitable for required operation, input/output signals are received from the suspen-
sion control unit and received data is displayed.
SELF-DIAG RESULTS Displays suspension control unit self-diagnosis results.
DATA MONITOR Displays suspension control unit input/output data in real time.
ACTIVE TEST Operation of electrical loads can be checked by sending drive signal to them.
ECU PART NUMBER Suspension control unit part number can be read.
