Highlander Air Suspension Failure

Hi, I have a 2002 Toyota Highlander with a gasoline engine. My air suspension seems to have failed. The car won't lift anymore, and it's leaning. I'm also getting a speedometer error, and the low beams are messed up. I scanned it and it shows a suspension compressor error.

Sounds like a suspension issue. Does the error memory point to anything specific like a faulty sensor or the compressor itself? Have you checked the fuses related to the air suspension system? A blown fuse could cause the compressor to fail.

The error points to the compressor, but I was wondering if a faulty plug connection to the compressor might cause this? Any way to check that myself?

A faulty connection is definitely a possibility, especially with older vehicles. Corroded or loose connections can cause intermittent failures or a complete lack of power to the compressor. It may be best to have a workshop look at the connection. The cost to fix the connection should be around 95€. However, make sure the compressor itself is okay!

Thanks for the info. It turned out to be a corroded connector to the compressor, just like you said. Saved me from buying a whole new compressor!
