How does leveling suspension work?

How does leveling suspension work?

Self-levelling suspension lifts the rear end of the vehicle up to spread out the weight more evenly. This puts the weight back onto the front end of the vehicle, which lets the brakes do their job more effectively.

What is leveling control?

Rear leveling control keeps the rear section of the vehicle at the same height regardless of load. Leveling control may also remain active when the vehicle is parked.

How does height sensor work?

Vehicle height sensors measure the load weight on air suspension system and convert it into output voltage to control air suspension pressure as well as high-intensity discharge (HID) headlamp axis.

How does the self leveling suspension system work?

The earlier system using the electro-hydraulic pump will not be dis- cussed. The self-leveling suspension system is designed to maintain vehicle ride height under loaded conditions. The system is fully hydraulic, utilizing a tandem oil pump to supply pressure to both the suspension system and power steering system.

What causes a fault in the suspension level control system?

The cause of this fault is due to an internal defect in the residual pressure check valve for the pneumatic spring/damper assembly. The repair procedure involves placing the vehicle on the top suspension level setting, this is accessed by selecting CAR and SETUP through the Multi-Media Interface (MMI) menu screen.

How does a level control system work in a car?

The Level Control System come in various configurations such as hydraulic (hydropneu- matic) or pneumatic only systems. Hydropneumatic systems use high pressure hydraulic fluid which is dampened by a gas cushion from a nitrogen charged accumulator. These system use and electro-hydraulic pump or an engine driven piston pump.

How to measure suspension level control control calibration?

Wait until the car goes into 2 different levels. Measure the heights from wheel center to the lower edge of the fender (see comments ). Enter the ACTUAL MEASURED VALUE FROM THE CAR in “new value” in Millimeters into Channel 01. Measure the heights from wheel center to the lower edge of the fender (see comments ).

What does level ride air suspension system do?

Level Ride Air Suspension The Level Ride Air Suspension System manages the height and pressure for pneumatic or hydraulic suspension, providing the most accurate control in the air suspension market (a rear-only system is also available).
