Circuit Description
The automatic level control adjusts the vehicle suspension ride height. The rear integration module (RIM) determines the height of the rear of the vehicle based on the voltage from the automatic level control sensor. The RIM raises and lowers the rear of the vehicle in order to keep the vehicle level. The automatic level control is also equipped with an accessory switch for inflation of off vehicle accessories.
