    摘要: An ECU is configured to determine the life of a pressure storage tank. The pressure storage tank has a gas chamber filled with gas, an oil chamber connected to a common passageway, and a piston dividing the gas chamber and the oil chamber. The pressure storage tank is configured to store hydraulic oil in the oil chamber and to release the hydraulic oil from the oil chamber. The ECU calculates a movement amount of the piston based on the volume change of the gas chamber. The ECU determines that the life of the pressure storage tank has ended when an integrated value of the calculated movement amount exceeds a threshold value.

    摘要: A vehicle-height control system including a tank, a compressor, an actuator, and a valve between the tank and the compressor. The valve is closed to a state of a pressure medium supplier to the compressor-pressure supply state when a tank pressure has reached a threshold in a tank-pressure supply state in which the tank pressure is supplied to the actuator. In the compressor-pressure supply state, the tank pressure is kept at the threshold, and a pressure in the actuator is greater than the tank pressure. The threshold makes it difficult for a pressure differential in the valve to become greater than a valve-opening pressure differential, making it difficult for the valve to be opened in the compressor-pressure supply state. This system enables good supply of a pressure medium from the compressor to the actuator, avoiding a longer time for vehicle height control and achieving a shorter compressor operation time.
