*
1: For codes marked with a ºº in the ºManual Indicator Lampº column, the height control manual indicator
lamp blinks at 1 second intervals.
*
2: The codes marked with a ºº in the ºMemoryº column are stored in the memory even when the ignition
switch is OFF, but the codes marked with ºXº are not.
*
3: The relief pressure of the compressed air is 980 kPa (10 kgf/cm2, 142 psi). DTC C1751/51 may be output
and vehicle height control may be suspended under the following conditions (not abnormal):

Vehicle height control is attempted on a steep slope when the vehicle is overloaded.

The compressor remains on for an excessive period of time or repeatedly turns on and off because
of continuous height control switch operation.

The vehicle height control function (UP) operates when the vehicle height is set at a position lower than
normal while the engine is running.

CIRCUIT INSPECTION
DTC C1714/14 Left Rear Height Control Sensor Circuit
CIRCUIT DESCRIPTION
A magnetic circuit installed on the shaft inside the height control sensor rotates around the linear IC. The
linear IC outputs voltage corresponding to the level of magnetic strength generated by the magnetic circuit.
As a result, voltage corresponding to the shaft rotation angle is supplied to the suspension control ECU.
DTC No.DTC Detecting ConditionTrouble Area
C1714/14
Either of the following conditions is detected:
1. With the ignition switch ON, a voltage of the height control
sensor sub±assy is 4.7 V or more or 0.3 V or less for 1 sec.
or more.
2. With the ignition switch ON, a voltage of the height control
sensor sub±assy is 5.5 V or more or 4.3 V or less for 0.5
sec. or more.

Suspension control ECU
HINT:

Once the ECU stores DTC C1714/14 in the memory, vehicle height control is suspended until a normal
signal is input to the ECU from the height control sensor sub±assy. However, control resumes if the
ignition switch is turned OFF, and then turned ON again.

When the suspension control ECU detects a malfunction in the height control sensor, the height control
indicator lamp ºNº comes on or blinks, and control of the height control sensor ºUPº and ºDOWNº opera-
tion is halted.

INSPECTION PROCEDURE
HINT:

Proceed to troubleshooting following the flow chart, regardless of whether or not DTC C1714/14 is dis-
played.

If DTC C1761/61 (ECU malfunction) and/or C1774/74 (power source circuit) is displayed, perform the
inspection necessary for DTC C1761/61 (See page DI±761) and/or C1774/74 (See page DI±763)
first.
(If DTC C1761/61 and C1774/74 are output at the same time, perform the inspection necessary for
DTC C1774/74 first.)

Start the inspection from step 1 when using the hand±held tester, and start from step 2 when not using
the hand±held tester.
1 Read value of the hand±held tester.
PREPARATION:
(a) Connect the hand±held tester to the DLC3.
(b) Turn the ignition switch to the ON position, and push the hand±held tester main switch ON.
(c) Select the item ºRL HEIGHTº in the DATA LIST, and read its value displayed on the hand±held tester.

DTC C1733/33 Gate Solenoid Valve Circuit
CIRCUIT DESCRIPTION
The suspension control ECU opens the gate solenoid valve (height control valve) to lead the compressed
air to the height control cylinder (pneumatic cylinder) and to raise the vehicle height.
Further, the gate solenoid valve (height control valve) opens and closes the passage between the right and
left height control cylinders (pneumatic cylinders).
The height control valve consists of a leveling solenoid valve and a gate solenoid valve.
The gate solenoid valve opens and closes the passage between the compressor and the height control cylin-
der (pneumatic cylinder).
DTC No.DTC Detecting ConditionTrouble Area
C1733/33
Either of the following conditions is detected:
1. With the height control valve inactivated, an open signal of
the height control valve is detected for 1 sec. or more.
2. With the height control valve activated, a short signal of the
valve is detected 8 times successively.

HINT:

Once the ECU stores DTC C1733/33 in the memory, the vehicle height control is suspended until a
normal signal is input to the ECU from the height control solenoid valves. However, control is resumed
if the ignition switch is turned OFF, then ON again.

Malfunction in the gate solenoid valve:
The height control operation is suspended, and the height control indicator lamp does not change by
operating the height control switch.
