I've been trying to figure out what's causing the rough ride on my 99 lx470 with ahc using the FSM troubleshooting section and the threads I've found here on MUD. Basic info-
Heights : LF-19.25 in, RF-19.5 in, RR-20.75 in, LR-20.25
Pressures : Front-6.8 MPa, Rear-6.6MPa (High, but still in spec)
14 graduations from L to N (Brand new spheres)
The ahc has passed all the tests in the troubleshooting section except the 16 step test. On step 1 all corners are very soft except the RR corner which is firm. Steps 2-8 the other three corners gradually increase in firmness but RR stays the same. Steps 9-16 all four corners increase in firmness and feel the same. I tested the resistance on the RR damping force control actuator per FSM and all are in spec. I also tested continuity of the wiring harness between the ahc ecu and the corresponding terminals on the RR actuator as well as between the actuator ground terminal and body ground. Everything checks out ok. Could the actuator still be bad even though the resistance readings are in spec? The shock absorber seems to be okay (no fluid leakage, raises and lowers fine). My next thought would be a bad ecu but when I drive with techstream hooked up it shows the step values changing and such which would lead me to believe the ecu is working. Is there anything I'm misssing that may be causing this? I'd rather not just start throwing parts at it because $$$.
