My rear end on my 2012 Sequoia Platinum is sagging. I'm sure it's related that there is a light on the dash that now flashes all the time and the switch that adjusts the load doesn't work. I didn't buy the Sequoia to pull anything with or haul any heavy loads. I checked with my local mechanic and he says it will cost about $3,000 to replace the shocks because of the air bags. What are my options? I thought about just replacing the back shocks with coil springs. I see that some folks jack their Sequoias up and use an aftermarket air bag, so that may be an option too. Since the Sequoia is basically built on a Tundra frame can I use Tundra parts? Also, since the whole back end of the car is sagging, could it be a leak in the line or a problem with the switch?

Platinum rear suspension options

Has anyone out there in sequoia land upgraded or changed the suspension in their platinum on the rear? I've lifted my sequoia about 2 inches, including adjusting the levers for free rear lift. However, every morning when I go to work, the rear end is a touch lower than the night before, and the...

2014 Sequoia platinum shocks

Hi there everyone. We purchased a used 2014 Platinum 4x4. I want to do a small 2” lift on it to up the tire size. Hi was looking at the Bilsteins 5100’s with adjustable front shocks. Then I realized it has the electronic shocks on it. Question is does anyone know if I can swap out the...

Tundra has a solid rear axle, so rear suspension components are not interchangeable with the Sequoia.

Each wheel has a sensor for the air bag height. That can loosen and change the height at "normal". Check out this video and give an adjustment. If there was a leak, you would know it in the morning if it is dropping overnight. If it is just lower than it used to be, give the adjustment a shot

I recently pulled a bone head move during a dead battery jumper event, one result that I know of was the height adjustment light flashing and no height adjustment not working. Since I'd caused sparks at my battery terminal, I instinctively started checking fuses and found a blown fuse in the fusebox under the hood. Replaced the fuse and everything is back to normal.

Short story, you may want to check fuses for the Air suspension, I think it was fuse number 45 which is a 7.5amp.

Did the same thing with the same results a couple winters ago! Same fix.

I bought a Haynes Sequoia manual and did some research on my problem. I have a very good local mechanic that I take the vehicle to, but wanted to have an idea of what the problem might be. The Sequoia rear air suspension is complicated. A low rear end could be caused by one of the following things: blown fuse(there are 2-one under the hood and one under the steering wheel), bad switch on the dash, leaking air line, bad air pump or one or both air bags could be bad. The dealer went straight for me needing new air bags to the tune of about $3,000. I pulled the fuses and looked at them closely and decided they were good before taking it to my mechanic. He had the vehicle for a day and called me and told me it was a blown fuse. I told him that I looked at the fuses. He said he put them on a tester(I didn't have one). It cost me $100. I'm just thankful that's all it was.
