I have a 1999 LX470 that I am having what I believe is a height sensor problem with. Each time it rains the front sinks as low as it possibly can while the rear is pinned in its highest position; this makes for a brutal ride. Each time this happens it eventually reverts to normal (I am guessing once the sensors have dried out). I do not use the car very much-less then 5000 miles per year-and am wondering if there is a way to disable the height control once it returns to normal itstead of getting killed by the dealer. One earlier posting refers to pulling the fuse but I actually see three AHC fuses and am not sure which one to pull or if this is really an option. I would like to somehow force it to stay in the 'N' position once it comes back. Also, if there is no way around this does anyone know where I might be able to locate these sensors other than at a dealer? It looks like a pretty straightforward job and I am up for giving it a try if necessary. Thanks for any advice.

iI have a recurring problem similiar to yours. The dealer has changed out the sensors 3 times. The last time I had this problem they changed the fluid associated with the height control system and the problem was corrected. Thanks for responding. I kind of bounced the vehicle up and down last night by lowering the tailgate and then pushing down hard on it several times; when I subsequently started the car it leveled out. I then turned off the height control but it intermittently comes back on. If I do keep it off do you know if this will keep it from 'self-leveling'?

Hello, I have a 1999 LX470 with 101,000 miles. At the moment the rear end is sitting very, very high and the front appears to be almost sitting on the tires. The ride is brutal and I am wondering if anyone has any ideas. I noticed another post that referred to a sensor in the back of the 470 that may be causing the problem. Could someone tell me where this is located? Thanks; family in from out of town this weekend and if there is a temporary fix someone might suggest if is greatly appreciated. Martin
