Default 2017 LX570 air suspension running after car off

so twice now, 2-3 hours after parking in the garage, we’ve noticed a loud noise from the passenger rear side of the car that sounds similar to the air suspension compressor. It ran until I restarted the car and then turned it off. Lexus dealer service said it’s “a random noise the cars sometimes make when doing self diagnostics.” Though I appreciate the creativity of his answer, I don’t buy it. Anyone else have a similar experience or ideas?

listen...

Not sure why, but this is the only forum that seems to think AHC runs off compressed air. AHC is hydraulic, not pneumatic, so it has a hydraulic pump.

Your LX does not make noises "when doing self-diagnostics"...It cannot diagnose itself once you turn it off. I'd be tempted to find a dealer who's not prone to BS-ing a customer.

Noise from under vehicle after turning of the engine
Approximately 5 hours after the engine is turned off, you may hear sound coming from under the vehicle for several minutes. This is the sound of a fuel evaporation leakage check and, it does not indicate a malfunction."

awesome! Thanks folks.
