DTC C1734/34 LEVELING SOLENOID VALVE CIRCUIT

DTC C1735/35 EXHAUST SOLENOID VALVE CIRCUIT

DTC C1744/44 TANK SOLENOID VALVE CIRCUIT

CIRCUIT DESCRIPTION
The suspension control ECU opens the height control valve to lead the compressed air to the pneumatic
cylinder and raise the vehicle height.
When the vehicle height is lowered, the suspension control ECU opens the height control valve to store the
compressed air in the low pressure tank temporarily, and then operates the exhaust solenoid valve to release
the compressed air to the outside.
Further, the height control solenoid valve (gate solenoid valve) opens and closes the passage between the
right and left pneumatic cylinder.
The height control valve is on the low pressure tank and consists of 3 valves in total, leveling solenoid valve,
gate solenoid valve and tank solenoid valve.
The leveling solenoid valve opens and close the passage between the compressor and the pneumatic cylin-
der. The gate solenoid valve opens and close the passage between the right and left pneumatic cylinder.
The tank solenoid valve opens and closes the passage between pneumatic cylinder and the low pressure
tank. The exhaust solenoid valve is on the compressor unit and has only one valve.

HINT:
S Once ECU stores DTC C1733/33, C1734/34, C1735/35 or C1744/44 in the memory, the vehicle height
control is not carried out until a normal signal is input to ECU from the height control solenoid valves
and the exhaust solenoid valve. However, the control is resumed if the ignition switch is turned OFF,
then ON again.
S Malfunction in the gate solenoid valve and the leveling solenoid valve:
The height control operation is suspended, and the height control indicator lamp dose not change by
operating the height control switch.

DIAGNOSTICS − TEMS & REAR AIR SUSPENSION SYSTEM

S Malfunction in the exhaust solenoid valve:

The vehicle height is lowered to the normal height within 30 sec., and then the height control operation
is suspended. The height control indicator lamp ”N” comes on or blinks, and that of ”HI” and ”LO” do
not come on by operating the height control switch ”UP” and ”DOWN”.
S Abnormality of the tank solenoid valve:
Although the height control is still possible, the lowering speed may be slower.

INSPECTION PROCEDURE
HINT:
S Proceed to troubleshooting following the flow chart, regardless of whether or not DTC C1733/33,
C1734/34, C1735/35 or C1744/44 is displayed.
S 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 05−630) and/or C1774/74 (See page 05−632)
first.
(If DTC C1761/61 the and C1774/74 are output at the same time, perform the inspection necessary
for DTC C1774/74 first.)
S Start the inspection from step 1 the in case of using the hand−held tester, and start from step 2 in the
case of not using the hand−held tester.
S Since the exhaust solenoid valve cannot be tested in ACTIVE TEST, start the inspection from step 2.
1 PERFORM ACTIVE TEST BY HAND−HELD TESTER

(a) Connect the hand−held tester to DLC3.

(b) Turn the ignition switch to ON, and turn the hand−held tester main switch to ON.
(c) Select the item ”LEVEL SOL REAR”, ”GATE SOL REAR”, ”LOW PRS TNK SOL” in the ACTIVE TEST,
and operate it with the hand−held tester.
(d) Check whether the solenoid makes sound.
(e) Check whether the height control solenoid valve has a continuity (having vibration).
Standard:
The solenoid makes sound, and the height control solenoid valve has a continuity (having
vibration).
