Overall Function of ADS II With Electronic Level Control









NOTE: The corresponding functions of the hydraulic control circuit are controlled with the electrical/electronic components.

The adaptive damping system (ADS) control module receives input signals from the following components:
^ Wheel speed signal from ETS, ASR or ESP control module
^ Speed signal status from ETS, ASR or ESP control module
^ Steering angle sensor
^ Three body acceleration sensors
^ Two level sensors
^ Stop lamp switch
^ Level adjustment
^ Comfort/sport switch

The input signals are conditioned in the adaptive damping system (ADS) control module into output signals for the following components:
^ Four raising/lowering solenoid valves
^ Four ADS damper valves
^ Adaptive damping system (ADS) malfunction indicator lamp
^ Indicator lamps in the switches:
- ADS comfort/sport
- level adjustment raising/lowering
- level control lock-out.

The adaptive damping system (ADS) control module decides which of the 3 control functions must be controlled on the basis of the input signals:
^ Level control
^ Level adjustment
^ ADS
