System DescriptionINFOID:0000000005148147
SUSPENSION CONTROL SYSTEM
The suspension control system consists of the following components
• Suspension control unit
• Compressor motor relay
• Suspension air compressor
• Exhaust valve solenoid (built into suspension air compressor)
• Height sensor
The suspension control unit monitors vehicle ride height as indicated by the height sensor. The suspension
control unit actuates the compressor motor relay to ra ise the vehicle ride height. The suspension control unit
actuates the exhaust valve solenoid to lower the vehicle ride height.
CK SUSP INDICATOR LAMP
The CK SUSP indicator lamp ground is controlled by the suspension control unit. The indicator lamp will come
on for 2 seconds when the ignition switch is turned ON. If the indicator lamp does not turn OFF there is a fault
detected. Refer to SCS-7, "
CONSULT-III Function".

Part name Description
Suspension control unit • Monitors height sensor input to determine vehicle height.
• Actuates the compressor motor relay or exhaust valve solenoid to raise or
lower the vehicle accordingly.
• Sends a ground signal to the combination meter to activate the CK SUSP indicator lamp.
Suspension air compressor (with built in exhaust valve
solenoid) • When the compressor is actuated, it pumps air into the system to raise the
rear suspension.
• When the exhaust valve solenoid is actuated, it vents air from the system to lower the rear suspension.
Height sensor Provides vehicle height input to the suspension control unit.

Diagnosis ProcedureINFOID:0000000005148156
1.CHECK COMPRESSOR MOTOR RELAY OPERATION
CAUTION:
The "COMPRESSOR" active test will remain ON until it is turned off using CONSULT-III. Allowing the
compressor to run for an extended period of time may cause damage to the air levelizer system com-
ponents due to excessive air pressure.
CONSULT-III
1. Turn ignition ON.
2. Select "COMPRESSOR" of AIR LEVELIZER active test items.
3. While operating test item, check that the suspension air compressor turns ON.
Does the suspension air compressor operate properly?
YES >> Compressor motor relay and suspension air compressor are operating normally.
NO >> Refer to SCS-20, "
Diagnosis Procedure".
