

Checking



The values determined with the inclinometer (1) are not used to evaluate the vehicle level, but rather to evaluate the corresponding camber, caster and toe values

1

Carry out preconditions and tests for vehicle level measurement

AR40.00-P-0202A

2

Clean measuring points

 This prevents any measuring errors.

3

Position measuring sensor (2), with measuring sensor connecting cable (3) facing towards vehicle center, on the recesses on the left front transverse control arm (6) (arrows) and read off vehicle level on inclinometer (1) and then save the measured values

 It is possible that the measuring sensor (2) may not be correctly seated in the recesses on the left front transverse control arm (6) (arrows) relative to the left front transverse control arm (6), and this could result in a positioning error.

If the display on the inclinometer (1) shows

"Y-position error for sensor position ?",

then the measuring sensor (2) on the rear measuring points must be tilted slightly towards the arrow (arrow A).

5

Position measuring sensor (2), with measuring sensor connecting cable (3) facing towards vehicle center, on the left drive shaft (7) and read off vehicle level on inclinometer (1) and then save the measured value

 It is possible that the measuring sensor (2) on the lay-on point of the left drive shaft (7) may not be seated in the correct position, which could result in a positioning error.

If the display on the inclinometer (1) shows

"Y-position error for sensor position ?",

then the measuring sensor (2) on the lay-on point of the left drive shaft (7) should be turned or tilted slightly.
