I only waited total about 3 min for my car to lower, so I bet I can get lower...
on the stock back sensors, I only have it half way, so if I adjust the stock rears and combine with datasystem, will it lower even more..
God, I am so excited!!

I wish I can read the Japanese manual, but I can only recognize Kanjis, so didn't really get the whole meaning.

i can't wait to see the lowest it can get, especially you guys adjusted the leveling rod already. i didn't touch the leveling rod on the ls460l, with that i might be able to do lower

So Now I am afraid to drive over 60..

I think you need to redo the set up procedure for the controller. My "Height Hi" light used to turn on randomly while I was driving. I rechecked the settings and found that it had been set to the wrong car. Once I got it set to the right car...no problem.

As far as lowering while driving, just turn that feature off. It's been awhile since I played with my settings so I don't remember what the procedure is but there is an option to turn that on and off.

jon1688,

You ever figure out how to adjust the TEMS setting? The shock firmness setting?

New insight

OK, got my translation back from my Japanese friend.

We've been deceiving ourselves - The speed sensor setting is just an alarm or warning. It does not stop your car from lowering at the preset speed. You can turn on or off the warning flashes or beep only. Your car should lower at 90km/h about 20-30mm which is 3/4" to 1-1/8".

TEMS - is only available on certain year cars and my 2004 is not one of them that's why it does not show on any display.

Thats if for now.

ha, so the car will lower itself no matter what?
I guess I gonna press "high" when I drive on the highway.

SO how about disconnect the speed sensor behind the glovebox... will it work?

Guessing with common sense, it would work, since the controller don't know the speed.

I pressed the right hand side buttons to scroll through the list of cars so I can get it to display UFC31. However, there is two version of the UFC31 to choose from. I chose the one that displayed a revered letter "C". Hope that is the right one.
...
Need help on the TEMS settings (Toyota Electronic Modulated Suspension). Should be able to adjust Normal and Hard to stiffen the ride. Not sure how.

You are right with the car list selection. Page 25 of the ASC680 user manual shows the right one for your harness. You can change at any time by pressing the upper left button and switch ignition on. On Page 25 you will find where TEMS is available. It is not possible to change on a UCF31.
