RC air suspension failure

I'm having a nightmare with my 2016 Lexus RC hybrid. The air suspension seems to have completely given up. The car won't lift, and it's noticeably leaning. I've got an error message and a warning light. My low beams are pointing at the sky or the ground. I stored an error, but I couldn't find anything obvious. I'm guessing it's the suspension pump?

I had a similar issue with my RC. I have the same model (not hybrid though). My symptoms sound almost identical to yours, especially the leaning and the error message. I would definitely check the cable and plug connections to the compressor first. That's where my problem was.

Really? You think it could be just a dodgy connection? Was it obvious when you found it, or did you have to really dig around?

It was a bit of a pain to find. I'd suggest taking it to a workshop; they should be able to diagnose it pretty quickly. I'm quite sure that you won't find the defective component yourself. But as I said, I'm quite sure it is the cable or plug connection.

I appreciate the advice. I'll get it booked in and point them in the direction of the compressor connections. Just got the repair bill: 95€. You saved me a ton of stress!
