Patent ID: 6876909

Claim:
An electronically controlled suspension apparatus, comprising: a throttle position sensor for producing a TPS signal which is representative of an amount of a throttle opening; at least one front damper mounted on a front portion of a vehicle body; and an electronic control unit including: a determination block for determining whether the TPS signal rises to be greater than a first reference value and for determining whether the TPS signal declines to be less than a second reference value; and a damper control block, which adjusts a damping force of said at least one front damper according to the determination result made by the determination block, wherein the damper control block sets said at least one front damper into a hard rebound mode to produce a hard rebound stroke during a first control time period when the determination block determines that the TPS signal rises to be greater than the first reference value, and then the damper control block sets said at least one front damper into a hard compression mode to produce a hard compression stroke for a second control time period when the determination block determines that the TPS signal declines to become less than the second reference value.
