DTC 13












CIRCUIT DESCRIPTION:
Codes 11, 12, 13 and 14 are set if there is an open or short in the height control sensor circuit. Inspect the ECU, height control sensor and the harness/connectors between them.
Inside each sensor, a brush integrated with the control sensor rotor shaft moves above the resister, providing linear output. The resistance value between the brush and resistor terminal changes in proportion to the shaft rotation angle. The fixed voltage applied to the resistor by the ECU is modified by the sensor and output to the ECU as a voltage indicating the shaft rotation angle.
Once the ECU stores DTC 11, 12, 13, or 14 in memory, vehicle height control, damping force control are not carried out until a normal signal is input to the ECU from the height control sensor. However, control is resumed if the ignition switch is turned OFF, then ON again.

^ Code 11 corresponds to the front RH height control sensor circuit.
^ Code 12 corresponds to the front LH height control sensor circuit.
^ Code 13 corresponds to the rear RH height control sensor circuit.
^ Code 14 corresponds to the rear LH height control sensor circuit.

INSPECTION PROCEDURE
^ When DTC 11 is displayed, check front RH height control sensor circuit.
^ When DTC 12 is displayed, check front LH height control sensor circuit.
^ When DTC 13 is displayed, check rear RH height control sensor circuit.
^ When DTC 14 is displayed, check rear LH height control sensor circuit.
