    Abstract: Aspects of the present invention relate to a control system (100, 200) for a vehicle suspension system of a vehicle (800). The control system is configured to perform a test for testing operation of an isolation switch (430). The vehicle suspension system comprises an actuator power supply (450) configured to supply power to the vehicle suspension system. The actuator power supply is configured to be electrically connected to the vehicle suspension system via the isolation switch. The control system is configured to: receive a shutdown indicator signal indicating that the vehicle is in a shutdown state (530); output an open isolation switch signal (524) configured to open the isolation switch in dependence on the shutdown indicator signal; receive an open isolation switch confirmation signal (516) indicative of the isolation switch being open; determine whether the open isolation switch confirmation signal is received within a predetermined time period; and output a test pass signal or a test failure signal in dependence on the determination.

    Abstract: Aspects of the present invention relate to a control system (100, 200) for a vehicle suspension system of a vehicle. The vehicle suspension system comprises a plurality of connected subsystems (302, 304, 306). The control system comprises one or more controllers (110). The control system is configured to: determine if a first subsystem (302) of the plurality of connected subsystems has entered a fault state (312-2), wherein the fault state is an abnormal operating state (402); determine a compensatory operating state (314-2, 316-2) of a further subsystem of the plurality of electrically connected subsystems, in dependence on determining that the first subsystem has entered the fault state, wherein the further subsystem operating in the compensatory operating state, with the first subsystem operating in the fault state, causes the vehicle suspension system to operate in a higher vehicle stability mode in comparison to the vehicle suspension system operating with the first subsystem operating in the fault state without the further subsystem operating in the compensatory operating state (404); and output, to the further subsystem, in dependence on determining the compensatory operating state, a compensatory operation signal (155) to cause the further subsystem to operate in the compensatory operating state with the first subsystem operating in the fault state (406).
