Wow!! It’s been riding a little rough since I bought it two years ago so I’ve never touched the ride adjustment…until yesterday. I didn’t hear the compressor and no measurable height difference with a measuring tape. But when I started driving all hell, broke loose! Meaning, the backend bounced violently up and down with even the slightest angulation in the road. I just watched video and I’m glad I hung till the end ; the resets didn’t work but when I crawled underneath, the right side adjuster rod wasn’t attached to the upper control arm! I popped a nut on and BAM, I was back in business! Thanks man!! Huge win!
I’d personally replace it with standard suspension from somebody like dobinson or OME. Not worth the headache and glad our 2008 4R didn’t come with the XREAS or KDSS.
I have all the parts if I wanted to but I really like it, works great with the camper, travel with the family and all our crap in the back, rides fine.
Ok, I tried literally everything in this video multiple times and nothing improved the problem of unforgiving rear suspension. I couldn't get the air lines disconnected. However, I JUST got them removed last night, did the OBD2 paperclip trick, drove it around the block a few times, then went to bed. The drive home from work today was probably the smoothest my GX has ever ridden since I've owned it. THANK YOU!!!!!
Perfect timing. Ab 6 mos ago my air suspension stopped working for an afternoon but came back on. Last weekend it went out for a day and came back on. The past two days it hasn’t been functioning. Buttons don’t work. I don’t hear the compressor at all. I’ve pulled fuses and relay. Now I’m sitting in the car with suspension off hoping for a reset. 🤞
It was the ECU wire hack that did the trick. I also tried your ignition "On-wait-10-minute" suggestion prior to the wire hack. Thank you for posting this video.
RIght on! I've been trying to figure out my air suspension, not as smooth as I would expect. I replaced shocks with OEM, Air bags as they were leaking, and all suspension bushings, R drive shaft, axels, brakes, tires... The ride is smooth but I dunno I have a shimmy on small bumps. Maybe body mounts... Seems like my 2002 Tundra on Belistiens rides better. Thanks for the rundown! I'll try the rest.
Thanks for the info! I did the Steering Rack bushings, and its tracks way better! Still have a shake on bumps. I dunno... Tires are fresh and balanced, I'm going to adjust the height sensors. One side is .5 inches lower then the other.
@@pinheadlarry37 Well more like at speed... do your left and right rear wheel well measure the same height? Maybe ones sides lower than the other Thanks!
I am going absolutely crazy troubleshooting the air suspension problem on a gx 470. Seemed to start at the same time as a brake problem on the rear driver side and can't ignore the fact that it may be related somehow.
I'm having some issues after a weekend of wheeling. Maxing the ride height does cause the compressor to kick on and raise the truck, so I know it works and the air bags hold. But the N height is so low it's bouncy. Think I smacked a height sensor out of alignment?

Nice, glad I could help

Nice info. What MagSafe chargers are you using?
IDK some from amazon, theyre not great.
I had this problem a few times, but your video helps me reset my air suspension. Especially the one with the wire and pumping up the brake.
glad i could help

Side note: I too have a 3rd gen 4Runner 😄 she’s lifted on 33s with a sleeping platform in the back. They make a great pair

Steering rack bushings. I went with White Line
By shimmy do you mean like a quick side to side shake? I think I have the same thing whenever I go over a speedbump/pot hole at parking lots speeds.
@@pinheadlarry37 more like a tire thats not balanced, which I think was the problem because EVENTUALLY it stopped doing it.

Got me stumped

Definitely sounds like a sensor issue of some sort.
