Abstract
A shock absorber control system comprises a plurality of switches for setting respective desired dampening forces, and controls a dampening force of a vehicle shock absorber linearly in accordance with a manipulation of one of the switches. The control system further comprises a height sensor for detecting a height of the vehicle and detects the dampening force of the shock absorber by the change of the detected height and corrects the dampening force of the shock absorber in accordance with a difference between the desired dampening force corresponding to the manipulated switch and the detected dampening force.
