Active Damper System Controls

WARNING: This page is about a different car, the 2009 Acura MDX, 2008 Acura MDX, and 2007 Acura MDX. However, it is still accessible from the selected car via links, so may be relevant.

The active damper control unit continuously monitors inputs from various sensors and the mode select switch. The control unit will adjust each damper's force by controlling current to them.

The active damper system requires a special damper that is capable of quick response and action. This allows them to respond quickly for changes in conditions.
