Hello, maybe someone can suggest what to check next..
To begin with my suspension was to high. In normal mode the rear end was so high that hooking up a trailer or a camper was just silly.. When I selected Low it was Too Low. High setting was just ridiculous. That being said, the suspension was adjusting as it should, in other words it would keep the same ride height with or without load. It was just too high in Normal mode.
Went to Toyota, and they told me both sensors needed to be replaced. The price they quoted was astronomical!! Im surprised that they are not embarrassed.
Anyway, I got new sensors from e-bay. Replaced the old ones which actually were in very bad shape. One of them was completely stuck.
So what happens now, the ride height is better, may need some more adjusting. But the ride height does not hold over time. After driving or being parked for a while, the suspension seeps down, it does not automatically adjust up again either. It just indicates that it is in Normal mode although is is way to low and rough riding. I can select High mode, and the compressor fires up and lifts it again, and then select Normal and it lowers down to aprox normal level.
I obviously dont want to be doing this every time Im going for a drive
Any suggestions what could be causing this? Is it possible that the left and right sensors are too far apart with regards to adjustment and not cooperating properly?
