Inspection INSPECTION PROCEDURE1. INSPECT REAR HEIGHT CONTROL SENSOR SUB-ASSEMBLY RH (for 2WD)
(a) Connect 3 dry cell batteries (1.5 V) in series. |
![]() |
(b) Connect a positive (+) lead from the batteries to terminal 3 (SHB) and a negative (-) lead from the batteries to terminal 1 (SHG).
(c) 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) |
4.05 V |
2 (SHRR) - 1 (SHG) |
0° (normal) |
2.25 V |
2 (SHRR) - 1 (SHG) |
-45° (Low) |
0.45 V |
*1 |
Component without harness connected (Rear Height Control Sensor Sub-assembly RH) |
If the result is not as specified, replace the rear height control sensor sub-assembly RH.
