Unit Inspection

WARNING: This page is about a different car, the 2018 Subaru BRZ. However, it is still accessible from the selected car via links, so may be relevant.

Inspection of the height control sensor RR LH

Preparation before inspection

Connect 3 dry-cell batteries (1.5 V) in series.
CAUTION: Do not use rechargeable dry-cell batteries. They may not output 1.5 V of voltage.

Connect the battery's positive terminal to the connector terminal 3, the battery ground to terminal 1, and apply 4.5 V of voltage between terminals 3 and 1.

Measuring voltage
1. With the voltage applied, measure the voltage between terminals when slowly moving the link up and down.

STANDARD VALUE SPECIFICATION - VOLTAGE

Inspection terminals (Terminal symbol)	Link angle (vehicle height)	Standard value
2 (OUT) - 1 (GND)	+45° (high)	Approx. 4.5 V
2 (OUT) - 1 (GND)	-15° (standard position for inspection)	Approx. 2.5 V
2 (OUT) - 1 (GND)	-45° (low)	Approx. 0.5 V

CAUTION:

Do not apply 5 V or more of voltage between the terminals.
If you drop the height control sensor RR LH, replace it with a new one.

NOTE: If the power source voltage changes, so will the output voltage.
