GX Height Control Issue

Thanks for the tip! Where exactly is this leveling sensor located, and what should I be looking for on the control rod? Any tips on how to inspect it? And yeah, the bumpy ride is pretty much constant, maybe a little worse on rough roads.

Okay, if the bumpiness is constant, it definitely points to a problem with the suspension system itself. The leveling sensors are usually connected to the suspension arms near each wheel. Look for a small arm or rod connecting the sensor to the suspension. If it's broken or disconnected, that would explain the issues you're seeing. Honestly, though, given all the symptoms, I'd recommend taking it to a trusted workshop to get a proper diagnosis. It could be more complicated than just the sensor rod.

So, after checking the control rod myself, it looked fine. But, based on your advice, I took it to a local shop, and turns out, the control rod WAS indeed defective! They replaced it, and now everything is working perfectly. The total repair cost was around 110€. Thanks a lot for your help; I really appreciate it!

I had something similar happen with my GX, though it wasn't a hybrid. Same warning light and the uneven stance. I'd check the leveling sensor first, specifically the control rod. Is the bumpy ride constant, or does it seem to get worse at certain speeds or on uneven roads?
