Circuit Description
The LEVELING indicator lamp is activated by the Automatic Level Control (ALC) sensor whenever a compress cycle is requested. The sensor provides a switched path to ground. The sensor will flash the lamp when certain DTCs are detected.
Conditions for Setting the DTC
The DTC will set when the sensor detects that the lamp output is not externally pulled up to B+ when the sensor output is not active and the ignition signal is high.
Action Taken When the DTC Sets
| • | The sensor's discrete low side output drive for the lamp is disabled. |
| • | The sensor continuously attempts to recover from the fault. |
| • | DTC 08 is stored as a history code at the end of the ignition cycle. |
Conditions for Clearing the DTC
| • | The DTC will clear when B+ is present at the low side output drive. |
| • | Using a scan tool. |
Diagnostic Aids
| • | Check the integrity of the LEVELING indicator lamp bulb. |
| • | Refer to the diagnostic table. |
