  1. PCM. If found out that switch was there early on. Why Lexus don't put it out the way beats me. It's definitley on.

    Herbie. While following your suggestions I decided to have a more in-depth look at one of the sensors.

    When I opened it up I discovered on of the gold coloured springs had some decay. While quite difficult to see I used some abrqasion to clean in. I probably missed it on the last clean.

    Once put back on the car everything was perfect.

    Once again thanks for everyone's input.

     

    Cheers

  2. Guys I took your advice and got a second hand one which took weeks to arrive.

    Lexus charge the same as a small house for one of these.

    The bad news is. The part was fine but now I have a new problem.


    I now have an RX300 2004 on which the suspension won't raise.
    So I tested the relay which was fine (I have 2).
    I then tested the pump by shorting the relay connections. Pump works fine.
    I replaced the ECU for the suspention, but still the suspention won't run the pump.
    I have diagnostic software but there is no fault showing.
    I've removed the Battery power for 30 minutes. Then again for a few hours.
    I've taken ALL of the level sensors off and cleaned inside them and also checked them by using a multimeter. All the values were the same.
    I've checked all the connection to the sensors.

    Still after all this, the pump won't run and I get a light on the dash flashing AFS (Automatic Froantlight Sensor)

    Does anyone know of a solution?

  3. Hi folks.

    My RX300 2004 has developed a fault where the rear left lowers to it’s lowest position a few minutes after start.

    When I start the engine I can hear the pump run. The car raises to it’s height on all four corners, then this one lowers.

    I’ve replaced the suspension ECU and checked all the sensors using a multimeter. All of them perform the exact same.

    So i’ve concluded it can’t be either the ECU or the sensor.

    Does anyone know what the cause could be or a solution to this?

    To be 100% sure I was going to change the sensor, but they can be very expensive. I did find a cheap one for the right side, but I don’t know if the sensor is interchangeable.

  4. Matt you've managed to accumulate a massive amount of info here, but I think your efforts may be in vane. 

    I visit a local stereo company for advice. They told me this problem has raised it's head many times over the years. 

    Apparently a Parrot system can't be fitted to the RX as there is not an ISO made for it. Also the amplifier is under one of the seats which causes a fitting issue. 

    He warned me not to listen to Parrot or Halford support who will say it's possible. 

    The only way is your way. DIY

  5. Jam thanks for your input.

    I was in contact with parrot support. Each request I made to them asking to verify the correct part, was met with a message offering a link.

    When I followed the link it was dreadful. Couldn't make out if it had the correct plugs. When I pointed this out to them, guess what......... They sent me the same link.

    After 4 attempts at this I contacted their Facebook support. Yes, they sent me the same link.

    I gave up on Parrot support and now looking for what you suggested.

    I will probably never touch Parrot stuff again.

    Cheers

  6. Hi guys. 

    I’ve trawled the internet for information on this. The wiring diagrams I’ve found are really poor.

    My suspension compressor isn’t running. I’ve found that the suspension relay isn’t being switched. 

    The relay is good.

    When the load side is shorted the compressor runs ok.

    If I put a supply to the positive side of the relay switch+ the pump works ok.

    So the conclusion is the relay isn’t receiving a trigger signal. 

    My problem is, where does this switch signal come from.

    If anyone can give me a hint please.
