Default Lx570 2014 lower in normal(n) mode

Hi,
My 2014 LX570, height looks a bit lower when car is in the (N-Normal) mode. Yet the 4LO is not indicated as I still see "N" in dashboard. What could be causing this?.. the AHC fluid level in rear right passenger tire looks at the correct level.. Thanks to experts

I don't understand your question. 4low and N are completely unrelated. What do you mean by "Height looks a bit lower in Normal mode". Lower than what? Need some clarification on this?

Yes you are correct. When the car is in the Normal Node the distance of my running board to the ground looks a bit lower than in the past by 3inches

Does your vehicle still drop about 2" when you go to low and go up about 2" when you go to high (from normal mode)?

Thanks for feedback
1. Yes when I push lever to low it gets lower and I see the "L" on dashboard
2. When I push it to High it also raises and I see the "H" on dashboard, then adter a while of driving it returns to the "N" on dashboard
3. Also when I use the comfort mode it also raise vehicle and as usual it stays raised in this mode

Thanks

Comfort mode should not change the height of the vehicle. It should only change the firmness of the shocks.
if you teally believe that it is lower now and everything else is working correctly, it sounds toe like your sensors slipped out of adjustment. However unlikely that is (if both sides are still equal height) it is possible. If you look over at ih8mud and search for sensor lift, you will find instructions on how to adjust it. (Or tell if it needs adjustment) It is extremely simple to do, but you should do a zero point calibration afterwards which requires techstream.

Yeah, I imagine if you tell them you need the AHC sensors reset to the correct height they would know what you mean. But I can't say for sure that is what the issue is. If you backed into a ditch, it would likely only affect the rear sensor. But if you compare the height of your vehicle to another of the same or close year and it is considerably different, you will know if there is an issue with your AHC.
