Level Control Systems
Control Unit
The EHC control module is located in the right rear luggage compartment area in the mod-
ule carrier next to the battery. On the E65/E66, the control module is connected to the K-
CAN S. The EHC control module receives the following information:
 Vehicle Ride Height
 Load Cutout Signal
 Terminal 15 ON/OFF
 Vehicle Speed
 Lateral Acceleration
 “Engine Running” Signal
 Flap Status (Doors/Trunk)
The Control unit decides on a case by
case basis whether a control opera-
tion is required in order to compen-
sate changes in load. It prevents
intervention in the case of other caus-
es. This makes it possible to adapt
the frequency, specified height, toler-
ance thresholds and battery load opti-
mally by means of the control opera-
tion to the relevant situation.
In addition to handling the self levelling
suspension, the control module moni-
tors the system components as well
as storing a displaying faults. The
control module has full diagnostic
capability.
The EHC module is a 26 pin module
with an ELO type connector. The
module is connected to the K CAN S.
The majority of the input messages
are from the K CAN S Bus.
