SELF-DIAGNOSIS
Description
If an error is detected in the system, perform self-diagnosis as follows:
Operation Procedure
1. Turn ignition switch OFF.
2. Connect CONSULT-II and CONSULT-II CONVERTER to the data link connector.
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.
3. Turn ignition switch ON.
4. After stopping the vehicle, with the engine running, touch "START (NISSAN BASED VHCL)", "AIR LEV-
ELIZER", "SELF-DIAG RESULTS" in order on the CONSULT-II screen.
CAUTION:
If "START (NISSAN BASED VHCL)" is touched immediately after starting the engine or turning on
the ignition switch, "AIR LEVELIZER" might not be displayed in the "SELECT SYSTEM" screen. In
this case, repeat the operation from step 1.
5. The self-diagnostic results are displayed. (If necessary, the self-diagnostic results can be printed out by
touching "COPY".)

When "NO DTC IS DETECTED" is displayed, check the CK SUSP indicator lamp.
6. Conduct the appropriate inspection from the display item list, and repair or replace the malfunctioning
component.
7. Start and run the vehicle for approximately 1 minute.
8. Turn ignition switch OFF to prepare for erasing the memory.
9. Start the engine and touch "START (NISSAN BASED VHCL)", "AIR LEVELIZER", "SELF-DIAG
RESULTS", "ERASE" in order on the CONSULT-II screen to erase the error memory.
If "AIR LEVELIZER" is not indicated, go to GI-39, "
CONSULT-II Data Link Connector (DLC) Circuit" .

DATA MONITOR
Operation Procedure
1. After turning OFF the ignition switch, connect CONSULT-II and the CONSULT-II CONVERTER to the data
link connector.
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.
2. Touch "START (NISSAN BASED VHCL)", "AIR LEVELIZER", "DATA MONITOR" in order on the CON-
SULT-II screen.
If "AIR LEVELIZER" is not indicated, go to GI-39, "
CONSULT-II Data Link Connector (DLC) Circuit" .
CAUTION:
When "START (NISSAN BASED VHCL)" is touched immediately after starting the engine or turning
on the ignition switch, "AIR LEVELIZER" might not be displayed in the "SELECT SYSTEM" screen.
In this case, repeat the operation from step 2.
3. Return to the "SELECT MONITOR ITEM" screen, and touch "ALL SIGNALS" or "SELECTION FROM
MENU". Refer to the following information.

ACTIVE TEST
CAUTION:

Do not perform active test while driving.
Operation Procedure
1. Connect the CONSULT-II and CONSULT-II CONVERTER to the data link connector and start the engine.
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.
2. Touch "START (NISSAN BASED VHCL)" on the display screen.
3. Touch "AIR LEVELIZER".
If "AIR LEVELIZER" is not indicated, go to GI-39, "
CONSULT-II Data Link Connector (DLC) Circuit" .
4. Touch "ACTIVE TEST".
5. The "SELECT TEST ITEM" screen is displayed.
6. Touch necessary test item.
7. With the "MAIN SIGNALS" display highlighted, touch "START".
8. The active test screen will be displayed.
Display Item List
CAUTION:
The "COMPRESSOR" active test will remain ON until it is turned off using CONSULT-II. Allowing the
compressor to run for an extended period of time may cause damage to air suspension system com-
ponents due to excessive pressure in the air suspension system.
NOTE:

"TEST IS STOPPED" is displayed approximately 10 seconds after operation starts for all active test items
except "COMPRESSOR".

After "TEST IS STOPPED" is displayed, to perform test again, repeat Step 6.

INSTALLATION
Installation is in the reverse order of removal.

When raising the rear suspension member assembly, use the
locating pins to align the rear suspension member to the vehicle
body.

When installing the upper and lower rubber seats for the rear
coil springs, the arrow embossed on the rubber seats must point
out toward the wheel and tire assembly.

To connect the rear load leveling air suspension hoses, the lock
ring must be fully seated in the fitting. Insert the hose “B” into the
lock ring “A” until the lock ring “A” is touching the hose “B” as
shown. Pull on the hose to check that it is securely inserted.

Perform the final tightening of the nuts and bolts for the links (rubber bushing) under unladen condition
(unladen condition means that the fuel tank, engine coolant and lubricants are at the full specification, and
the spare tire, jack, hand tools, and mats are in their designated positions) with the tires on level ground.

Check the wheel alignment. Refer to RSU-47, "Wheel Alignment" .
