Suspension Control ( Automatic - Electronic ): Description and Operation: Overview

Vehicle Dynamic Suspension

OVERVIEW
Some vehicles are fitted with an adaptive dynamics system, an electronically controlled suspension system that continuously adjusts the damping characteristics of the suspension dampers in reaction to the current driving conditions.
The system is controlled by the ADM (adaptive damping module). The ADM receives signals from four suspension height sensors and from other vehicle systems to determine vehicle state, body and wheel motions, and driver inputs. These signals are used by the ADM to continuously control the damping characteristics of each damper to the appropriate level, to give the optimum body control and vehicle ride.
