Suspension Control ( Automatic - Electronic ): Description and Operation

Vehicle Dynamic Suspension
The vehicle dynamic suspension consists of the following components:
^ Vehicle dynamics module (VDM)
^ Compressor canister
^ Compressor drier
^ Air compressor
^ Air suspension switch
^ Solenoid valve
^ Air spring
^ Air suspension height sensor (rotary type)
^ Air tubes

The vehicle dynamic suspension system uses an electric pump to pressurize air springs which replace the traditional coil springs. The programmed vehicle ride height is controlled by a VDM which receives a signal from suspension mounted height sensors. The purpose of the vehicle dynamic system is to provide smooth ride quality and a self-leveling suspension. A switch allows for the system to be turned ON or OFF.
