DYNAMIX DV ACTIVE SUSPENSION (IF EQUIPPED)
DYNAMIX DV SYSTEM COMPONENTS
SUSPENSION CONTROL MODULE (SCM)
The Suspension Control Module (SCM) contains the logic for suspension
control, including communications, operator inputs, and shock drivers. The SCM
also has an internal 6-axis inertial measurement unit which is used to monitor
and adjust the performance of the vehicle by the suspension control algorithms.
Moving or altering the orientation of the SCM may have an adverse effect on
vehicle handling. Never move the SCM from it's factory mounting location.
ELECTRONIC SHOCK DAMPING CONTROL
Your suspension has electronically controlled, independent compression and
rebound shock damping. This is used to control how fast the shocks compress
and extend.
Compression Damping: Force acting against a shock movement in the
compressing direction (shock length becoming shorter). When a shock is being
compressed, lower compression damping results in faster compression
movement and higher compression damping results in a stiffer, slower
compression movement.
Rebound Damping: Force acting against a shock movement in the extension
direction (shock length becoming longer). When a shock is being extended,
lower rebound damping results in faster extension movement and higher
rebound damping results in a slower extension movement.
