Tacoma air suspension failure

Major headache with my 2023 Toyota Tacoma hybrid, 150,000 km. Air suspension seems dead. Truck's leaning, can't lift it, suspension error on the dash, bumpy ride. Error memory says faulty suspension air bag valve. Anyone else seen this?

I had a similar issue with my Tacoma. Sounds like a leak in one of your air springs. When did you last check the air bags? Suspension failure can be a real pain, especially with air ride systems.

Thanks! I haven't checked the air bags themselves. The error code pointed to the valve, so I assumed that was it. But could the valve fail because of a leak in the air spring? Could it be wear and tear?

Yes, it's quite possible the valve failed due to a leak. The valve could be working overtime to compensate for the air loss, leading to its failure. A faulty air spring valve is often the culprit. It's best to get it inspected by a qualified mechanic; they will be able to diagnose it properly.

Appreciate the insight, I'll take it to a workshop to get it properly diagnosed and hopefully repaired. They quoted me around 590€ for the replacement. Hopefully it fixes the problem! Thanks again!
