Circuit Description

The automatic level control (ALC) sensor performs checks of internal calibration data. If a fault condition is detected, the ALC sensor will set the fault DTC, and may, depending upon the fault type, turn ON the SERVICE SUSPENSION SYSTEM message. Recovery from any controller fault condition is attempted only after the ignition is cycled ON and OFF.
