Hey Guys,
Just bought a 2000 LX470 with 263K miles and wanted to baseline all the fluids. I picked up some AHC fluid from two different Toyota dealerships (Magnusson's in Palo Alto, and Capitol Toyota - CA San Jose) as it was really hard to find. I did the flush following PADDO's method along with
Everything went smoothly, and I got a lot of the old junk out and I was testing the AHC from low to high a couple times and it was working flawlessly and much quicker than it use to. But on the 3rd time it got stuck in low and would not go to N. I then tried to re-bleed all 5 points again in low and then it started getting worse, the AHC pump started making high pitched noises and now flashes OFF on the AHC dash controls...
I am a lost as the car is sitting very low and I have a trip coming up in two weeks... is there anyway I could get it to even sit back to N reliably?
I have a fear that it may be part of the Toyota recall / Jelly - bad AHC fluid / clogged up Pump or air in the system. The dealer at Magnusson said he was suppose to send back the fluid a couple weeks ago... Tempted to just buy regular suspension at this point...
VIDEO of the sound my AHC system makes -
Will also be going into the dealership Monday but I don't have high hopes they will help..
