Circuit Description
The automatic level control adjusts the vehicle suspension ride height. The Rim determines the height of the vehicle based on the voltage from the automatic level control sensor. The RIM grounds the compressor relay and the exhaust control solenoid to raise and lower the vehicle in order to keep the vehicle level.
Conditions for Running the DTC
| • | The RIM is powered up. |
| • | DTC's B1328 and B1327 are not stored. |
Conditions for Setting the DTC
The compressor relay output is found to be shorted to battery for 10 seconds.
Action Taken When the DTC Sets
The automatic level control will be inoperative.
Conditions for Clearing the MIL/DTC
The RIM does not detect a failure during the self test.
Diagnostic Aids
| • | Inspect all wiring harnesses carefully for chaff's and proper routing. |
| • | This circuit is monitored during every functional operation of the compressor relay output and every 3.3 milliseconds when output is active. If a compressor relay fault is detected, the RIM retries the output every 15 seconds to try to recover form the fault. |
Test Description
The number(s) below refer to the step number(s) on the diagnostic table.
-
Listen for an audible click when the level control compressor relay operates. Command both the ON and OFF states. Repeat the commands as necessary.
-
Tests for voltage at the coil side of the level control compressor relay. The ELC fuse supplies power to the coil side of the level control compressor relay.
-
Verifies that the RIM is providing ground to the level control compressor relay.
-
Tests if ground is constantly being applied to the level control compressor relay.
-
Tests for a short to voltage.
