Abstract:
A vehicle height adjustment device includes an actuator, a detector, and a controller. The actuator is driven when supplied with a current and is configured to change a relative position of a body of a vehicle relative to an axle of a wheel of the vehicle. The detector is configured to detect the relative position. The controller is configured to control the current supplied to the actuator to make the relative position a target value so as to adjust a vehicle height of the body. When a detection value of the detector is smaller than the target value of the relative position, the controller is configured to alternately supply an increase current and a maintenance current to the actuator. The increase current increases the relative position to increase the vehicle height. The maintenance current maintains the relative position to maintain the vehicle height.
