Electronic Suspension System: Description
NOTE:
Electronic suspension system may also be referred to as the Load Levelling Control system, Dynamic Suspension system or Automatic Ride Control (ARC) system.
Rear air adjusted suspension is air-operated and computer-controlled. Air suspension system utilizes air adjustable shock absorbers to provide variable vehicle ride height depending on load and driving conditions. Shock absorbers also incorporate computer controlled two-stage (firm and soft), damping capability. Smooth ride is provided for normal driving conditions. If conditions require additional shock absorber damping, air suspension control module adjusts each shock absorber separately in response to load, road and driving condition inputs received from height sensor, Vehicle Speed Sensor (VSS), Throttle Position Sensor (TPS) and 2 steering sensors. On 4WD applications, transfer case inputs are also utilized.
