The ALS is the abbreviation for "Auto Leveling System". This ALS system automatically controls the height of a vehicle level according to road condition. So it improves riding comfort and steering stability.
When the vehicle leveling is performed, the compressor presses the air and makes it into high-pressure air. And it is supplied to each air-spring. For controlling the height of a vehicle, the ALS ECU controls each valve and the air is charged into each airspring or a reservoir.
The ALS ECU monitors the supply valve which is connected to the reservoir for a normal operation and if it is detected as a fault in the valve, this DTC is set.
