Toyota 4Runner: Accumulator Solenoid Malfunction / Upside (C1831/31,C1832/32)

Toyota 4Runner Service Manual / Suspension / Suspension Control / Kinetic Dynamic Suspension System / Accumulator Solenoid Malfunction / Upside (C1831/31,C1832/32)

DESCRIPTION

The stabilizer control ECU receives information from the steering angle sensor, skid control ECU (speed signal) and yaw rate and acceleration sensor via CAN communication. Based on this information, the stabilizer control ECU turns the stabilizer control solenoid valve (built into the stabilizer control with accumulator housing assembly) on or off.
