Height Control Restricted Warning

I'm experiencing a 'Height control restricted' warning in my 2016 Lexus GS hybrid with 75526 km on the clock. The warning light is on, and the low beams seem misaligned. I've also noticed the car sits unevenly, the front axle appearing higher than the rear. The ride is also bumpier than usual. Error memory reports an error. Could this be related to the air suspension or a load sensor issue?

It sounds like a suspension issue is indeed present. Does the error code provide any further detail? It might point to a specific sensor or corner of the vehicle. Have you checked the sensor control rods for any visible damage?

Thanks for the quick reply. I haven't had a chance to physically inspect the control rods yet. However, assuming it is the control rod, how involved is the replacement process? Is it something a reasonably skilled DIYer could tackle, or is specialized equipment required?

While a reasonably skilled individual might be able to handle the replacement, the diagnostic precision needed to pinpoint the fault absolutely suggests a visit to a qualified workshop. Suspension systems can be complex, and proper calibration is crucial for safety and optimal performance.

Understood, I appreciate the advice. It turned out to be a defective control rod on the sensor, as suspected. Had it replaced at a workshop for 110€. Everything is back to normal now.
