Inspection [08/2020 - ]: Procedure

  1. INSPECT REAR HEIGHT CONTROL SENSOR SUB-ASSEMBLY LH (for 2WD) 
    1. Preparation for check
      1. Confirm the standard, high and low positions of the link that will be used in the following inspection.
        • The standard position is 58° from the maximum link angle (high) and 51° from the maximum link angle (low).
        • The high position (+45°) is 13° from the maximum link angle (high).
        • The low position (-45°) is 6° from the maximum link angle (low).

        *a Standard Position *b Maximum Link Angle (Low)
        *c Maximum Link Angle (High) *d 51°
        *e 58° *f -45°
        *g +45° *h 6°
        *i 13° - -
      2. Connect 3 dry cell batteries (1.5 V) in series.
        NOTE:

        Do not use rechargeable batteries as they may not output a voltage of 1.5 V.

      3. Connect a positive (+) lead from the batteries to terminal 3 (SHB) and a negative (-) lead to terminal 1 (SHG).

        *b Low
        *c Standard Position *d High
        *e -45° *f +45°
      4. Measure the voltage between terminals 2 (SHRR) and 1 (SHG) while slowly moving the link up and down.

        Standard Voltage

        Tester Connection Condition Specified Condition
        2 (SHRR) - 1 (SHG) +45° (High) 4.5 V
        2 (SHRR) - 1 (SHG) 0° (Standard position) 2.5 V
        2 (SHRR) - 1 (SHG) -45° (Low) 0.5 V

        If the result is not as specified, replace the rear height control sensor sub-assembly LH.

  2. INSPECT REAR HEIGHT CONTROL SENSOR SUB-ASSEMBLY LH (for AWD) 
    1. Check the rear height control sensor sub-assembly LH.
      1. Connect 3 dry batteries of 1.5 V in series.
      2. Connect the positive (+) end of the batteries to terminal 3 (SHB) of the rear height control sensor sub-assembly LH and the negative (-) end of the batteries to terminal 1 (SHG). While slowly moving the sensor link up and down, measure the voltage between terminal 2 (SHRR) and terminal 1 (SHG).
        NOTE:
        • Do not use rechargeable batteries as they may not output a voltage of 1.5 V.
        • Do not apply a voltage of more than 6 V.

        *a Component without harness connected
        (Rear Height Control Sensor Sub-assembly LH)
        *b Standard position
        (6.5° from horizontal position)
        *c Horizontal Position *d Height low (Full bound)
        (18.5° from standard position)
        *e Height high (Full rebound)
        (45.5° from standard position)
        *f Bound side link stop position
        (85° from standard position)
        *g Rebound side link stop position
        (102° from standard position)
        - -
      3. Measure the voltage according to the value(s) in the table below.

        Standard Voltage

        Tester Connection Condition Specified Condition
        1 (SHG) - 2 (SHRR) Link moves upward from standard position to bound side (Height low) From 18.5° to bound side link stop position 0.5 V
        18.5° (Full Bound) 1.69 V
        Horizontal Position - 2.5 V
        Link moves downward from standard position to rebound side (Height high) Standard position 2.79 V
        45.5° (Full Rebound) 4.5 V
        From 45.5° to rebound side link stop position 4.5 V

        If the result is not as specified, replace the rear height control sensor sub-assembly LH.
