UX Air Suspension Problems

Has anyone experienced air suspension issues on their Lexus UX? My 2020 UX with a gasoline engine is having problems. At 185452 km, the compressor seems to have failed, leading to a loss of lift, a noticeable lean, and a cascade of errors. I'm seeing a fault in the error memory, error messages on the speedometer, the low beams are all over the place, and a warning light is glaring at me. Could a defective cable or plug connection really be the culprit?

Sounds familiar. I had a similar problem with my old Audi A6. Same symptoms: ride height all messed up, load leveling gone haywire. Did you check the basics, like fuses or the relay for the suspension pump? Could save you a lot of hassle. Was the leaning to one side more pronounced?

Good point about the fuses and relays, hadn't considered those specifically for the air suspension. I'll definitely check those first. And yes, the leaning is definitely more pronounced on one side. Any chance it was the same for you on your Audi?

Yep, the leaning was worse on one side for me too. Turned out to be a bad connection, just like you suspected. Although I located it myself, it ended up costing me 95€ to get it fixed at the workshop. With those air struts being so sensitive, I would advise you to let a professional take a look before you cause even more damage to the car.

Thanks for the advice! I checked the connections as you suggested, and you were spot on - a loose connection was the issue! After securing it properly, everything seems to be working fine again. Really appreciate the help!
