cuoncc Posted September 10, 2004 Share Posted September 10, 2004 The suspension on my LX-470 seems to get stuck in a mode where the SUV bounces up and down on every little bump. I've tried adjusting the setting to "comfort" but it doesn't have any affect. I've also turned the Height COntrol off (although it wont stay off which is probably another problem). It will stay in this mode for a while and then fix itself and it rides normal. It sounds to me like sone input sensor is malfunctioning and sending bad data to the AVS system (mircoprocessor?). Does anyone know where thes sensor may be located or have a suggestion on what things I can check out before I bring it to a dealer???

roberttran Posted September 10, 2004 Share Posted September 10, 2004 From what I've heard it could be the accumulators going bad. Those cost a ton to fix. Hopefully that isn't the case and there is easy fix. -Robert Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cuoncc Posted September 16, 2004 Author Share Posted September 16, 2004 Thanks for your repsonse Robert. As this problem seems to come and go ...1 day it's driving like a chevy bouncing all over the place the and the next day it's fine (like a Lexus - :) ) - I'm wondering if I should have the suspension fluid changed - although it appears clean in the resevoir. Could the input valve in the accumulator be sticking which prevents the hydralic fluid from damping the shocks??? Regards - CUONCC Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Texasoil Posted January 13, 2005 Share Posted January 13, 2005 Judging from your description, it sounds like the ride control unit is malfunctioning some times. If the ride control valves are not properly powered, the thing will not ride right. It will either have no dampening, or too much--depending on the failure mode Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
