FUNCTION

The CONSULT‐III performs the following functions using the CAN combination of data reception, command instruction, and transmission from E-SUS control unit via the communication line.

Diagnostic test mode
Function
ECU identification
E-SUS control unit part number can be read.
Self-diagnosis result
Self-diagnostic results can be read and erased quickly. *
Data monitor
Input/Output data in the E-SUS control unit can be read.
Active test
CONSULT-III drives some actuators via E-SUS, and changes some command signal values within the specified range.
*: If the memory in E-SUS control unit is erased, the DTC diagnosis result is also erased.

 ACTIVE TEST

■ CAUTION ■
  • Always perform while the vehicle is stopped.
  • When the shock absorber actuator active test is performed, a DTC may be detected, therefore be always erase the malfunction history after the operation is completed.

  • Shock absorber actuatorThe control signal from CONSULT-III forces activation of the shock absorber actuator. The check can be performed by confirming the operation noise.
