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
.
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-11, "

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.

TROUBLE DIAGNOSIS FOR SELF-DIAGNOSTIC ITEMS
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 sys-
tem components due to excessive pressure in the air suspension system.
3. Return the rear load leveling air suspension system to normal operating mode.
4. Check self-diagnostic results.
Is code C1805 displayed again?
YES >> GO TO 3.
NO >> Inspection End.
3.CONNECTOR INSPECTION
1. Disconnect suspension control unit connector B3 and suspension air compressor C9.
2. Check the terminals for deformation, disconnection, looseness or damage.
OK or NG
OK >> If code C1805 was retrieved during self-diagnosis, GO TO 4. If code C1803 was retrieved during
self-diagnosis, GO TO 6.
NG >> Repair or replace as necessary.
4.AIR HOSE INSPECTION
Inspect for pinched or damaged air hoses between the suspension air reservoir and each load leveling rear air
suspension shock absorber.
OK or NG
OK >> GO TO 5.
NG >> Repair or replace as necessary.
5.EXHAUST VALVE SOLENOID INSPECTION
Apply 12V to suspension air compressor terminal 2 and ground to
suspension air compressor terminal 1.
OK or NG
OK >> GO TO 6.
NG >> Replace the suspension air compressor. Refer to RSU-
38.
6.CHECK EXHAUST VALVE SOLENOID POWER AND GROUND
1. Reconnect the suspension control unit connector.
2. Turn the ignition switch ON.
3. Check voltage between suspension air compressor connector
C9 terminal 2 and ground.
4. Turn ignition switch OFF.System air pressure should vent.
