When using the intelligent tester, start from  1. When not using the intelligent tester, start from  2.

  1. READ VALUE OF INTELLIGENT TESTER (DAMPING MODE SELECT SWITCH) 
    1. Connect the intelligent tester to the DLC3.
    2. Turn the ignition switch ON and push the intelligent tester main switch ON.
    3. Select the DATA LIST mode on the intelligent tester.
    4. Check the damping mode select switch condition displayed on the intelligent tester when changing the damping mode select switch to each mode.

      TESTER CONNECTION SPECIFIED CONDITION

      Switch Position Condition
      COMFORT ON is displayed for TSW1 of damping mode select switch condition.
      OFF is displayed for TSW2 of damping mode select switch condition.
      NORMAL ON is displayed for TSW1 and TSW2 of damping mode select switch condition.
      SPORT 1 OFF is displayed for TSW1 of damping mode select switch condition.
      ON is displayed for TSW2 of damping mode select switch condition.
      SPORT 2 OFF is displayed for TSW1 and TSW2 of damping mode select switch condition.

    NG: Go to step   3 

    OK: REPLACE SUSPENSION CONTROL ECU 

  2. CHECK SUSPENSION CONTROL ECU 
    1. Remove the suspension control ECU with connectors still connected.
    2. Turn the ignition switch ON.
    3. Measure the voltage between terminals TSW1 and TSW2 of the suspension control ECU connector and body ground when changing the damping mode select switch to each mode.

      Standard voltage 

      TESTER CONNECTION SPECIFIED CONDITION

      Tester Connection Condition Specified Condition
      S21-5 (TSW1) - Body ground COMFORT 9 to 14 V
      S21-5 (TSW1) - Body ground NORMAL 9 to 14 V
      S21-5 (TSW1) - Body ground SPORT 1 Below 1.5 V
      S21-5 (TSW1) - Body ground SPORT 2 Below 1.5 V
      S21-13 (TSW2) - Body ground COMFORT Below 1.5 V
      S21-13 (TSW2) - Body ground NORMAL 9 to 14 V
      S21-13 (TSW2) - Body ground SPORT 1 9 to 14 V

    OK: GO TO NEXT STEP 

  3. INSPECT SUSPENSION CONTROL SWITCH (DAMPING MODE SELECT SWITCH) 
    1. Remove the suspension control switch.
    2. Disconnect the suspension control switch (for damping mode select switch) connector.
    3. Measure the resistance between terminals 2, 7 and 4 of the suspension control switch (for damping mode select switch) connector when changing the damping mode select switch to each mode.

      Standard resistance 

      TESTER CONNECTION SPECIFIED CONDITION

      Tester Connection Condition Specified Condition
      2 - 4 COMFORT Below 1 Ω
      2 - 4 NORMAL Below 1 Ω
      2 - 4 SPORT 1 10 kΩ or higher
      2 - 4 SPORT 2 10 kΩ or higher
      7 - 4 COMFORT 10 kΩ or higher
      7 - 4 NORMAL Below 1 Ω
      7 - 4 SPORT 1 Below 1 Ω
      7 - 4 SPORT 2 10 kΩ or higher

    NG: REPLACE SUSPENSION CONTROL SWITCH (DAMPING MODE SELECT SWITCH)
