Default Air suspension

Do anyone know where I can find more information on how to calibrate the air suspension on a 2013 Lexus ls460 f sport? I can't find any information on itvmkkin the owner manual.

Get the manufacture manual, it is not that expensive.

Did you get yours calibrated? If so, what specs did you use?

The repair manual should have a section for initialization/calibration and recommends using Techstream. For my 2007, it's in volume 2

I believe TechStream walks you through the process. It's possible other scanners can do this but check with scanner mfg first.

the scanner do work on the air suspension. I did lower the car a little. It's very complicated. The rear is about 1 inch from the tire to the finder. The front is about a inch and 1/2 from the tire to the finder. The car has to be running. Make sure you have a full tank of gas.
