Estima air suspension problem

Hi, my 2016 Toyota Estima with a gasoline engine has an issue with the air suspension. The vehicle won't lift anymore, it's leaning to one side, and I'm getting an error message on the speedometer. Also, the low beams are acting up, and the warning light is on. Any ideas?

Interesting issue. I also have an Estima, although not the same year. I had similar symptoms a while ago: Ride height issues, error messages... Did you check the cable and plug connections to the compressor? That was the problem in my case. Maybe you also have an air leak?

Cable and plug connections, huh? Where exactly are those located? I'm not that familiar with the air suspension system.

Yes, that's right. Underneath the car, near the compressor. In my case, the error memory also stored the error. But to be honest, I'd suggest taking it to a workshop. They will be able to tell you more. I had to replace a faulty cable and they sorted the malfunction. It was not a big job.

Thanks for the tip! Turns out you were spot on. Took it to a shop and they found a defective cable connection on the compressor. They fixed it for 95€, and the air suspension is working perfectly again. Appreciate the help!
