Default Solve canbus errors when fitting coilovers

Hi guys. My facelift LS430 from 2004 had the suspension changed to coilovers by the previous owner. I suspect this is the cause of the triangle warning / EML and TRC lights on the dash being on constantly.
Is there a method of overcoming this by adding any components to the loom which previously connected to the electric suspension ?
Thanks for any assistance / guidance you can offer
Cheers

there are a lot of threads on which fuse and relay to pull to get rid of the CEL warnings. That is more than likely your issue from the swap from air to spring

The fuse is marked on the inside of the cover, fuse box next to the battery. Fuse should be 40A for the air suspension compressor and easy to grab with the puller located next to it in the tray [white] - if no puller there just use needle nose. I pulled the fuse, swapped to coils and have had no problems at all.

Many thanks for that pal
Do I assume that air conditioning is a sacrifice when this mod is carried out ?

Nonono, there's a fuse for the Air Suspension Compressor which is completely different from the a/c compressor. The air sus compressor is located close to the pass side wheel well and is mounted by 3 bushings.
