Default air suspension problem

Hey guys, i’m new to owning a 2008 lexus ls460L, LWB with air suspension, so to keep it short, car drives fine and completely normal and it’s entirely stock, one day i wake up and go to the grocery store and apparently all of the air has been let out of the just the rear air struts, there was an code thrown for continuous power to exhaust valve or something like that, does anyone have this problem or know how to fix it?

I had a similar issue on my 2016 except mine was completely slammed to the ground on all four axels, and the air pressure slowly escaped. Took it in to the dealer to have the compressor replaced, and I didn’t have any sensors lit.

Are you able to raise the height with the “height high” button?

Sounds like something in the rear air supply had a problem and the compressor ran until it blew a fuse or burnt itself out, here's a schematic of the system.

thank you for replying, i will have to check tomorrow because it is already dark, however i checked every fuse with “airsus” in all of the fuse boxes. the compressor works i know for sure, i have a buddy that managed to get into the system and raise it back up but it only stayed for a few minutes before it all leaked back out. probably should have mentioned that earlier.

thank you for replying, i checked all of the airsus fuses in all of the fuse boxes and everything is fine, the compressor still works, tomorrow i’ll go check behind the rear passenger tire to check the height sensors and all of that, i checked the height sensor on the rear drivers side today and everything appears to be in order. i will keep you updated.

When you're looking at the height sensors it wouldn't hurt to have a look at the rear height control valve that's behind the rr fender liner, there have been posts in the past for the same issue and the whole control vale was leaking causing both shocks to drop.
