LX570 AHC Diagnostics

[electro992]

The ride on a new-to-me 10 LX is not as good as my old LX470. I’ve read posts saying the 570 is not as soft as the 470 (maybe due to 20” wheels) so I am not sure if this is normal or not. I bled the AHC system and have new tires and alignment. I did a zero point calibration with the Techstream tool and didn’t notice anything that looked strange on the AHC readings, but I don’t have an FSM to refer to.

Wondering if anyone has experienced similar, or if the AHC troubleshooting steps from the FSM are available somewhere?

Don't overlook your struts, any sign of oil leaks?

What is your PSI? I picked up my 2013 LX 570 last month and they had the PSI set to 40; indicated pressure on the door is 33PSI.

Struts all look dry. I did a brief check for leaks on the hard lines and didn't see anything. I haven't done the AHC # of graduations test yet, partly because I can't imagine my spheres would be bad on a relatively newer car. My 470 was on the original globes after 13 years/210k miles. I tried various tire pressures, down to 32 PSI now. Tires are Michelin.

You can buy a short duration subscription to the Toyota tech info and print the FSM sections to pdf. This takes a lot of effort as you can only print one page at a time though.
