Upon starting my 2008 LX (128k Miles - 206km) my "check AHC system" light just came on, and the vehicle dropped onto the bump stops. It's a very jarring ride over bumps. There were no previous signs of failures that I can think of, but sometimes when I was parked at an angle I've seen it try to level and it tried to level with extra effort a few times previously... But that would be when I parked at a steep angle (our driveway etc) - would that have something to do with it?
FYI I changed the fluid out about 6 months ago with factory toyota AHC fluid. Did all 4 globes, but not the accumulator.
Right now I have the battery disconnected, I pulled the AHC fuse, and started the truck, then disconnected battery yet again, after re-installing the fuse, and am now writing this post while I wait a bit before I try starting again. I doubt that will make a difference.
I don't have techstream nor want to really work on this.
I live in Southwestern BC (Canada) - anyone here know a good shop other than the stealership that knows how to work on this stuff?
Ideas??
