STANDARD VEHICL E HEIGHT SETTING
DescriptionINFOID:0000000006256060
Air levelizer control module enables precise control, by acquiring memorized standard vehicle height and sig-
nal (vehicle height) from vehicle height sensor. For this reason, always set standard vehicle height after per-
forming the following operations.
 Removal and installation or replacement of vehicle height sensor
 Replacement of air levelizer control module
Work ProcedureINFOID:0000000006256061
1.CLEAR STANDARD VEHICLE HEIGHT
With CONSULT-III
1. Lift up the vehicle. CAUTION:
Check that tires never contact the ground.
2. Start the engine.
3. Select “COMPRESSOR” in “Active Test” in “E-SUS”.
4. Touch “ON” and wait 60 seconds or more.
5. Touch “OFF”.
6. Select “CLEAR HEIGHT INI” in “Work Support” in “E-SUS”.
7. Touch “Start”.
8. Touch “Clear”. NOTE:
CONSULT-III continues indicating "EXECUTING". The completion of the standard vehicle height erasing
can be checked by the CK SUSP indicator lamp ON condition.
Does CK SUSP indicator lamp turn ON?
YES >> GO TO 2.
NO >> Perform step 1 again.
2.ADJUST STANDARD VEHICLE HEIGHT
With CONSULT-III
1. Select “ADJUST HEIGHT INI” in “Work Support” in “E-SUS”.
2. Touch “Start”.
3. Touch “Initial 1”. NOTE:
CONSULT-III continues indicating "EXECUTING". T he completion of the standard vehicle height adjust-
ment can be checked by the CK SUSP indicator lamp OFF condition.
Does CK SUSP indicator lamp turn OFF?
YES >> GO TO 3.
NO >> Perform step 1 again.
3. ADJUST VEHICLE HEIGHT
With CONSULT-III
1. Lift down the vehicle. CAUTION:
Check that the lift is fully lowered.
2. Select “STANDARD HEIGHT LEVEL” in “Work Support” in “E-SUS”.
3. Touch “Start”.
4. Touch “Revert” and wait 120 seconds or more.
5. Although CONSULT-III continues indicating "EXECUTIN G", select “VHCL HGT CNVSN VL” in “Data Mon-
itor” in “E-SUS”.
Is value within
−15 – 15 mm?
YES >> GO TO 4.
NO >> Perform step 1 again.
4.CHECK DTC
