CIRCUIT DESCRIPTION
The exhaust solenoid discharges high pressure air from the system by opening the solenoid valve according to
the si
gnal from the suspension control ECU.

NG: CHECK POWER SOURCE CIRCUIT (SEE DTC C1774 POWER SOURCE CIRCUIT
)
OK: REPLACE SUSPENSION CONTROL ECU (SEE REPLACEMENT
)
CIRCUIT DESCRIPTION
When the ignition switch is turned to the ON position, the D-IG1 relay is activated and battery voltage is
applied to terminal B of the suspension control ECU. When the ignition switch is turned off, the D-IG1 relay is
de-energized and the power source is cut off.
This power source energizes the suspension control actuator, height control solenoid valve, D-IG1 relay, each
IC and sensor.
