Sienna air suspension fault

Guys, I'm freaking out! My 2022 Toyota Sienna hybrid is giving me fits. It's got 55584 km on it and the air suspension seems totally shot. The van is sitting all wonky, like it's trying to do the limbo, and it won't lift at all. Plus, I've got a bunch of error messages popping up on the dash, and the headlights are all messed up, pointing at the sky or the ground. I had a friend check the error codes, and it's pointing to the air suspension compressor. He thinks it might just be a bad connection. Anyone else seen this before? This is stressing me out!

Whoa, sounds familiar! I had something similar happen with my Sienna. Is it leaning to one side, like a sad, slouching puppy? Check the cable and plug connections to the compressor. Sometimes those things come loose or get corroded, like a bad phone charger connection. That might be the culprit!

Yeah, it's totally leaning! It looks like it's about to tip over. Where exactly is the compressor located? I'm not super mechanically inclined, but I can probably wiggle some wires and see if that helps. Any tips on what to look for?

Okay, so leaning is definitely not a good sign, but it's good your friend scanned the codes! Honestly, messing with the air suspension can be tricky and potentially dangerous, like defusing a bomb without the instructions. For real peace of mind, I'd recommend taking it to a trusted shop. My issue ended up being a loose connection, and the fix was super cheap, like 95€. Better safe than sorry!

Thanks! I really appreciate the advice. I took it to the shop, and you were spot on! It was just a dodgy connection. They cleaned it up and reconnected it, and now it's working perfectly again! Saved me a ton of money and stress. You're a lifesaver!
