ECS (Electronic Controlled
Suspension) malfunction
warning message
When the ECS malfunction warning
message is displayed while driving,
the ECS does not properly function.
Have the system checked by an
authorized EQUUS dealer.
Information
• When the battery is discharged, orwhen either the SPORT button or
the vehicle height control button is
pressed repeatedly in a short time,
the ECS malfunction indicator may
illuminate to protect the system.
• When the height is adjusted repeat- edly, the height control may tem-
porarily stop due to the compressor
overheat. This is to prevent damage
to related parts. When the ECS malfunction mes-
sage is displayed with no air
inside the suspension, the vehicle
height may be very low. Thus, do
not drive the vehicle to protect it
from the projections on the sur-
face of the ground.
Take your vehicle to an authorized
EQUUS dealer by towing it and
have the system checked. You
should tow the vehicle as shown
in the picture.
When you load the vehicle onto the
tow truck, the loading angle(1)
should be smaller than 6°.
