Rear height sensor could have failed, they can be disassembled, internal contacts cleaned and reinstalled for a short term fix. New OE sensor runs around $300 IIRC. Any other symptoms like flashing AHC light? You could try tweaking the sensor's adjusting rod and/or repositioning the sensor mounts to try and get the potentiometer's slider into a spot that hasn't failed, if indeed it is a failed height sensor. Any toyota/Lexus dealer or Indy Toyota shop can hook up TechStream and diagnose a failed sensor quickly.

Sensor is LH side of centerline mounted on aft side of rear cross member. It has a 3 wire grey connector. Check to see if leaver bracket nut is tight and the lever hasn't slipped, it should be situated in the middle (approx) of its adjustment slot. Try redistributing any rear weight and bouncing the rear before you pull it apart, might get lucky and it temporarily sorts itself out.

Well gotta say big thanks for all help!

Stopped on way back from San Antonio; dealer said needed pressure switch 700.00; and if that didn't fix it then ahc motor- 3300.00......

Needless to say I went home and great cruiser head baker tire put it on rack and found rear sensor bracket broken in half.... Allowing sensor to be out of position....
Removed braket and welded.

All fixed!
