Common Lexus 4×4 SUV Malfunctions and Their Repair in Humble
Suspension Malfunction
Suspension malfunction is the most common malfunction in off-road vehicles. Lexus uses an advanced air suspension system and KDSS (Kinetic Dynamic Suspension System) to optimize ride height and handling. Air spring leak, compressor failure, height sensor malfunction, and valve block deterioration are some of the causes behind air suspension malfunction in your 4×4. The KDSS system is experiencing an age-related malfunction that intermittently displays ‘KDSS lean’.
At our shop in Humble, we perform a thorough inspection of the suspension assembly and identify the malfunctioning part. Malfunctioning air suspension components are replaced with new ones made by the original equipment manufacturers. The KDSS is repaired by replacing the compromised coil spring. After the repairs, technicians at MW4 Outfitters perform proper wheel alignment to restore the optimal driving and handling.
Transmission Malfunction
When your Lexus 4×4 suddenly shifts with a jerk or hesitation on the roads of Humble, the malfunction stems from the transmission module. The transmission malfunction could be low or contaminated transmission fluid, a faulty transmission control module, worn clutches, or a failing torque converter.
Technicians at our shop, MW4 Outfitters, conduct a thorough inspection using diagnostic methods, including fluid analysis, electronic diagnostics, and road-test evaluation. Based on the diagnostic data, the repairs may include replacing the transmission fluid and filter, programming the TMC, or replacing the solenoid. In the event of a severe malfunction, the transmission is rebuilt at our shop in Humble, TX, for your Lexus 4×4.
Brake System Issues
The brake system in the Lexus 4×4 plays a crucial role in vehicle handling and safety, particularly on steep slopes where rapid deceleration is necessary. Brake disc warping and hydraulic brake booster failure are among the common malfunctions the brake system of your 4×4 can experience in Humble.
Diagnostics for these malfunctions at our garage in Humble include a pressure test that confirms the brake’s functional capacity. Repairs such as brake pad replacement, caliper testing and replacement, brake fluid change, and hydraulic brake booster replacement are performed to rectify brake malfunctions in your Lexus 4×4. At our shop, MW4 Outfitter in Humble, we use OEM-made components for all these repairs.
