Default ride height sensor how to test?

Just getting a Ls400 going again it does not have full air bag suspension I believe bags are only at the back of the vehicle.


I am not sure if one is blown but basically the right rear wheel gets jacked up to a abnormally looking height and the back left does nothing. leaving the car looking off.


how can I verify an air bag is blown?
how can I inspect the ride height sensor?
How can I remove the plastic cover to look at the compressor and verify the air lines are plugged in?

the control box in the trunk has a little pad u open with a key, and it looks like there should be buttons but they are faux and misleading.


I just want to verify the air bag first off so I can order a strut conversion. Not finding any tutorials or resources online, I have access to mitchell prodemand and alldata for electronic service information but its coming up pretty bare on there to


Is the Ls400 with only rear air bags a rare car? everyone else seems to have all 4 corners.

The air suspension is on ALL 4 corners of the car on ALL models that came with it. Yours are most likely dying and you would be wise to convert it strut/shocks all around.
