Yes i am aware of rake. When it is off, the car becomes undriveable. I know it pretty well.

Or alternatively slide the sensor linkage up the suspension arm. This has been obvious to me all along, until it refused to obey my orders since about two weeks ago. But finally, it worked today. Front hub to fender is now 19.5 inches. It was just a little lower and uncomfortable before. The...

Sorry for sounding too trivial here. Its really confusing. Please forgive the naivety. For the front, if i want to increase height, should i rotate sensor arm up or down?

AHC woes! Been there, so i understand the frustration. When i bought my landcruiser 100, I drove for the first about 5 years without any AHC glitch. I was that lucky. But i knew nothing about AHC other than enjoying the comfort and raising and lowering the car ... and regularly changing AHC...

Mechanical side seems ok according to my assessment. And also there is no rust this side.

Yes, both sides behave the same. Now, if wire was cut or grounded, would AHC still behave normally otherwise?

For my rear AHC sensor, if i loosen linkage at the slider, then slide linkage up (engine running), the rear rises. When i slide it down, the rear drops. For front, when i do a similar action, nothing seems to happen In response. However voltage increases as i slide down (sensor arm rotates...

I got a wiring man. Actually i knew him before but i didnt know he is a wiring man. One time he helped me bleed the landcruiser AHC fluid. He is simple, very good and very systematic, and communicates and listens very well - exactly the kind of technician I like to work with. He tried his best...

My car has been running like new since I sorted the fuse blowing issue. The only slight problem was that the front decided to be a bit higher than normal. So i have been struggling to lower it by about 0.3 iches, but all in vain. In the process, I tried a lot, including swapping AHC pumps (I...

I have tested again this morning with another bridged fuse. It' remains cold and solid. It's not blowing. The other one that warmed up could have been loose. I need to quickly get a real fuse today and replace it. I am still not believing that i found the cause of the problem. But it's...

I have been working with my assistants (Copilot and ChatGPT) to troubleshoot the wiring problem. AHC FUSE blowing everytime I start the engine. We (I and my two assistants) isolated the problem to AHC pressure sensor circuit. For nearly 2 or 3 full days, we have been struggling to get to the...

First, I have ruled out any issue with the pressure sensor itself by swapping with a spare one that i had. I am now considering probing the wiring between pressure sensor and AHC ECU. Still gathering some courage, especially for fear of damaging some systems.

As i wait for the wiring technician, I managed to locate the AHC ECU. I unplugged it. Then started car. The fuse didnt blow. Does this automatically mean that the AHC ECU is damaged, and is the one causing the fuse to blow? Are there any other tests that I can do on the AHC ECU? Some...

Thanks very much. I appreciate. I am finding it a little difficult, so i have called a wiring technician. Not sure when he will come over. I will post an update in due course.

Recently, there were some rats in my car garage. They entered the bonnet of the landcruiser and visibly chewed some soft cover parts. Now, two days ago, the AHC OFF light started blinking when i started the car. Upon checking, I found the AHC fuse in the engine bay blown. I have tried to...
