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.
