Patent ID: 7684911

Claim:
Method for controlling a vehicular suspension in a vehicle having a plurality of independently controllable suspension units including independent jounce and rebound control capabilities comprising: providing a calibration memory device having a first pair of bits corresponding to jounce control and a second pair of bits corresponding to rebound control for each of a plurality of predetermined vehicle driving condition states and for each of said plurality of independently controllable suspension units wherein a first complementary arrangement of the first pair of bits corresponds to a first jounce control calibration, and wherein a second complementary arrangement of the first pair of bits corresponds to a second jounce control calibration, and wherein the first complementary arrangement of the second pair of bits corresponds to a first rebound control calibration, and wherein the second complementary arrangement of the second pair of bits corresponds to a second rebound control calibration; determining which one of the plurality of the predetermined vehicle driving condition states is active; selecting from the calibration memory device the respective first and second pairs of bits for each of the plurality of independently controllable suspension units corresponding to the active one of the plurality of the predetermined vehicle driving condition states; and controlling each of the plurality of independently controllable suspension units in accordance with the complementary arrangements of the respective first and second pairs of bits.
