04 LS430 ULTRA Suspension Controller...
Does anybody in this Forum have an 04 LS430 Ultra with the Air Suspension Controller Datasystem ASC680 installed?
I bought one from Carson Toyota and I supplied the VIN NUMBER so they can get the correct HARNESS PLUG, but it doesn't fit!!!
It seems like Carson Toyota does not even want to take the Items back and give me a refund...They suggest that I SELL them...to WHO??? so they can have a NONE WORKING controller??
They claim that they sell SOME of these units quite a bit...yet I AM the ONLY one that cannot plug the harness in!
I will take PHOTOS of this unit and the harness later today and post them..
You tell me if you think this will fit...
Thanks
Mike

Thats awful news. I hope it does fit somewhere, and if not, that carson toyota will rectify their mistake. Selling it to some one else knowing its not going to fit is unethical.
Good luck bro

I was trying to order one from Carson, but they are holding back because they are trying to resolve the issue. They feel the harness was mispackaged and they want to make sure their next units will work correctly. So instead of waiting, I had them ordered directly from Japan myself. The price difference is minimal. I just didnt want to wait

There are 4 PLUGS total for the kit, 3 (MAIN PLUGS) GOES under the steering wheel computer marked (AIR SUSPENSION) and 1 BLUE PLUG (1 WIRE) that has to be extended (cut/sodered or crimped) to reach all the way across and plugged into a blue plug BEHIND the Glove box.
Mark, the guy I talked to about this said that HIS controller never worked and caused the NAV SYSTEM to freeze or blow the NAV SYSTEM fuse.
So far, my NAV system is doing fine and no issues whatsoever. Also the controller HAS TO BE plugged in or your AFS (Headlight controller) will blink. Make sure to unplug the battery BEFORE any work is done to avoid shorting anything.
Now I am BACk in business with a working controller..thanks to MIKE (LEXKOST) for the info, TED ( Dynamic Auto ) for the manual lowering involving the Sensor Rod and Poyet (V8-Aristo) for the Initial Lowering.
Thanks
Mike

Glad you got it all rectified, and I swear it must be a omen with all lowering modules, when we ordered the one for the CGT the instructions were also ALL WRONG!
Did you add wheels yet or just the lowering?

After much research and help from Mike (LEXKOST), I was able to talk to a guy (Mark) who had the same controller on his 04+ car. Apparently the MANUAL directions are WRONG!, the harness does NOT go behind the glove box. The AIR SUSPENSION computer is UNDER the DRIVER SIDE steering wheel.

Hello,
I am expecting the controller from Luiz at Carson Toyota...hopefully sometime soon. My question is do you think i will have the same problem with my 2003 Ultra Luxury LS 430? or is this something with just the 2004's?
Thanks
