Default air suspension

for a while the back end of my GX470 was all the way up (on its own), then a few days ago the OFF light started flashing and now the back end is all the way down and we get bounced around when we hit a bump in the road. where do I start checking?

sheikhmax thank you for the link. I think my problem may be before that cause I don't hear the compressor at all so they don't air up in the first place.

Weird. The air suspension rarely fails....

kidding. The compressor is crazy $$. Time to consider coil conversion. I actually prefer my 4runner ride over my Lexus. Just feels a lot more firm. Have heard converting to coils gives a ride like the 4runner so looking forward to this one day soon when my suspension take a poop.
