N51 AIRmatic with ADS control unit

The AIRmatic with ADS control unit (adaptive damping system) is mounted under the front
passenger foot plate.

P32.22-2349-01

Function Diagnosis

The air suspension with adaptive damping system, is a combination If the AIRmatic with ADS control unit detects a fault, the
of air suspension (pure level control) with an automatic damper corresponding fault message is transmitted to the central gateway
adjustment (two solenoid valves on the damping valve unit). The control unit (N93) via the chassis CAN and on to the instrument
system operates in accordance with a control algorithm which cluster (A1) via the central CAN. Thereupon the instrument cluster
establishes the suitable damping stage depending on the driving displays a message in the multifunction display (A1p13).
situation.
The AIRmatic with ADS control unit is connected to the data link
Activation of the AIRmatic with ADS control unit connector via the diagnostic CAN, the central gateway control unit
and via the chassis CAN (X11/4).
The AIRmatic with ADS control unit is activated when the chassis
CAN is activated, via which the control unit receives the wake-up
pulse. The control unit checks the current vehicle level. The
vehicle level is corrected if necessary.
