Standard Value Table:




g. If the value of the vehicle height is not within the range of the standard value, note the value measured and proceed to the following step.

The difference between the right and the left sides should be less than 10 mm (0.39 in.).

NOTE: In the case where the difference between the value of the vehicle height and standard value exceeds 80 mm (3.15 in.), this check cannot be performed by using the hand-held tester,

In order to perform the check with the hand-held tester, adjust the difference below 80 mm (3.15 in.) without using the hand-held tester. Check the height control sensor sub-assy.




h. Connect the hand-held tester to DLC3.
i. Turn the ignition switch to the ON position.




j. Perform the height offset procedure from the AIRSUS menu.
k. Start the engine.




l. Change the height control switch to the "HI" position and check that the blinking for the "HI" lamp on the meter has been changed to the illuminating.
m. Change the height control switch to the "N" position again and get out of the vehicle immediately while the "N" lamp is blinking.

NOTE: Be sure to get out of the vehicle while the lamp is blinking as the height will be changed and the value will not be measured properly if you fail to do so.

n. Turn the ignition switch to the OFF position from outside of the vehicle after the "N" lamp comes on.

NOTE: Do not touch the vehicle as its height may be changed.

o. Check the vehicle height again to confirm the value of the vehicle height is within the range of the standard values.
