  1. Car: '04 LS430 Ultra Luxury Mods: Datasystem Air ride controller Please pay close attention to the days/timeline listed as this could get confusing ;) Keep in mind that this happened w/ my Datasystem height setting controller on NORMAL MODE , so the car was at stock height. (it may also be important to note that a day before all of this happened, I left my ignition in "accessory" the Friday night before and drained the battery so it had to get jump started the following Saturday morning.) On father's day(Sunday), I hit a protruding manhole in the road due to construction and immediately my a warning to check my PSC appeared. It stayed on for the remainder of the day and I made plans to bring it into the dealer that following Friday. The next day(Monday) the light dissappeared and would occasionally come back. The day after THAT (Tuesday), in addition to the PSC, a warning to check my VSC appeared along with the Check Engine Light and 'TRAC OFF' light. On the days leading up to my scheduled dealership service for Friday, the lights would periodically come on and off. The day I brought it into the Lexus dealer (my friend and fellow enthusiast is a cert. tech and the car is still under warranty) he attributed the Datasystem AIR Suspension controller as a possible culprit, stating that it could interfering with the speed sensor which could throw some lights. I've had this controller on my car for about two months with NO PROBLEMS whatsoever, so strange that any problems should appear RIGHT AFTER hitting the manhole. I mentioned the fact that I drained the battery a couple nights prior to the incident b/c i've heard of a weak batter messing with the electronic sensors on LS430's. I've also noticed that one of the mirrors folds a little slower than the other when shutting off the car and when I'm on bluetooth, the phone number that shows up on the navi flickers now and then. Could the battery be the culprit? But shouldn't the battery be recharged from the alternator...especially after about a week? Has anyone w/ an LS430 had this many lights come on at once? Thanks in advance! Cheers!
  2. Are you the original owner? Is this something that you JUST noticed happening or has it been like this since day one? Step1-Try putting the car on a lift so that the struts are fully extended. The sensors should read that the air struts are extended and compensate by letting the air out. Step2-When you let the car back down, with the air having been let out by the sensors, the car should look a little lower. Sometimes, MUCH lower. Step3-Turn the car back on and the compressors should fill the shocks back up for "normal mode". Also remember that it may take about 5 minutes for the compressors to adjust the suspension, so be patient. Try this little "reset mode" ^^^^ and see if it sets things back to "normal". Also, check that you don't have your suspension set in the "high" mode. I doubt that you have damaged struts. If they were leaking, the car would be sagging. If none of this works, it could be a failed sensor? That's just my creative theory. Keep us posted!
