A height sensor is fitted in each corner of the vehicle to monitor the ride height of the vehicle. The sensor bodies are attached with screws to brackets on the chassis rails.
Each sensor comprises a sensor body which contains a single track rotary potentiometer, a lever arm and a drop link.
The sensor lever arm has a drop link which provides the connection between the sensor and the suspension control arm. The drop link is a serviceable component and is a push fit to the lever arm and the suspension control arm.
The sensors are connected via their harness connector to the air suspension control module which receives the signal output from each sensor and, using preprogrammed information, converts the signal to a height for each sensor position.
The front and rear sensors are handed and are colored coded for identification as follows:
- Right hand front and rear - black colored lever
- Left hand front and rear - white colored lever.
