DTC2 Actuator Coil Over Current

Circuit Description

The A, B, C, and D are the actuator motor coil terminals.
DC 12V driving voltage is applied between terminals A
and C and terminals B and D so that the shock absorber
oil valves are rotated at every 7.5

°

step feed.

Diagnostic Aids

D

Inspect the wiring for poor electrical connections
between the control unit 24 way connector and the
actuator connectors. Look for possible bent, backed
out, deformed, or damaged terminals. Check for
weak terminal tension as well.
Also check for a chafed wire that could short to bare
metal or other wiring. Inspect for a broken wire inside
the insulation.

D

When diagnosing for a possible intermittent short or
open condition, move the wiring harness while
observing test equipment for a change.

DTC3 Actuator Coil/Position Sensor Open Circuit or Short

Circuit Description

The A, B, C, and D are the actuator motor coil terminals.
DC 12V driving voltage is applied between terminals A
and C and terminals B and D so that the shock absorber
oil valves are rotated at every 7.5

°

step feed.

The PSW is actuator position signal and detects relative
angles between the piston–rod and the control-rod. The
actuator outputs the PSW to the control unit.

Diagnostic Aids

D

Inspect the wiring for poor electrical connections
between the control unit 16 way connector and the
actuator connectors. Look for possible bent, backed
out, deformed, or damaged terminals. Check for
weak terminal tension as well.
Also check for a chafed wire that could short to bare
metal or other wiring. Inspect for a broken wire inside
the insulation.
