Default Air suspension problem.

Hi guys, newb to Lexus here, did a search, but couldnt really find anything that helped.
Problem is im looking at buying a 90 Celsior, and the owner is overseas, father showed me the car thats forsale, doesnt know alot about it.
Car is very low especially at the front, and the pump isnt working to pump it up.
Its hardly been driven for a few months, and even after running for 15 minutes, i still couldnt hear the pump, and the 'Height' light on the dash was flashing 'Norm' which i presumed means that the car is too low, and is trying to raise.
Anything quick i should look for please? A reset etc, that i can do, otherwise i feel it will be expensive, and ill have to walk away from it?
Just thought there maybe some thing common your guys may know that i can check quickly.
Thanks in advance.

I think you will find that the suspension has been turned off , thats why the flashing Norm light .
Open up the boot and check the suspension switch on the left hand side .

Oh, and pure drifter, you might do well to post intelligent information rather than telling people to 'do a search' all the time. If you dont have an answer, or dont know...dont post anything!
Get my drift?

i dont really feel the need to go back and look for the information that i know is already there, so i tell people to just look for it in the lovely little search bar at the top of the site to get their answers since MOST (not all) dont before posting. il never tell someone to just search unless ive seen the information myself before. most of the time if i remember the info off the top of my head il post what i can remember as well.
