Vehicle level senders G76,
G77, G78, G289 (level
sensors)
The level sensors are so-called angle sensors.
With the aid of the connecting link kinematics
unit, the height changes of the vehicle body
are converted into angle changes.
The angle sensor used in the Audi allroad
quattro is a contact-free sensor which
operates according to the induction principle.
A special feature of the level sensor used is
that it produces two different output signals
proportional to the angle. This allows it to be
used for both 4-level suspension and for
headlamp range control (see pin-assignment
table).

One signal output provides a voltage
proportional to the angle (for headlamp range
control) and a second signal output provides
and PWM signal proportional to the angle (for
4-level air suspension).

The 4 level sensors are identical in
design, only the brackets and
connecting link kinematics unit vary
according to the side and axle.
The sender arm deflection and thus the
output signal are opposite on the right
and left sides.
For instance, the output during
compression increases on one side and
decreases on the other.
