My stock air ride experience was with a Ford. Be very careful. I recall one coming into the repair bay, jacked up on one side and the bag let go. The car slammed on the ground and it sounded like someone detonated a bomb.
Don't want to see someone get hurt by a bag blowing up.

I believe OP's only solution might be height sensors - from what I know any other 'workaround' will not allow air suspension controllers to work properly and even if ride height can be manipulated to look normal, the ride quality will be crap - i.e. you will be bouncing around everywhere.

I know this doesn't help but I consistently see an older Touareg parked in Sundance area with front left jacked all the way dow and back right all the way up lol Looks ridiculous. I'm sure those things can be very expensive to fix.

if you can reach the lines in the trunk you can purge from there... not sure if you cant get to the front ones though or just the rear. i know for fact this works on first gen LS for the rears... its just a press fitting. no tools needed.

One of my friends with an LS430, who is also a member on here had this exact same problem, if I remember correctly he just drove around on it and it eventually sat back down. Ercchry is his name.

that was the aftermarket controller being a bitch... lots of screwing with settings for it to figure its shit out.

What kind of car is it? Pm me I can give you advice
Most of the systems you cannot bypass. It's better to fix the issue.

My air system on my 4Runner shit the bed a few years ago. Took it to Innovative Autoworx, cause I knew they did a lot of custom air ride work. I got the air lines to the bags disconnected and hooked up to a Tee fitting and then run out to a schrader valve (tire valves basically) mounted beside the trailer electrical outlet. Could adjust the height just by using a regular tire compressor. Was quoted 3 hours to do the job, they had me out in under 1.5 hours with a bill of $130 including some new fittings. Worked great for 2 years, especially when towing (could adjust the rear height to compensate for tongue weight) until I decided to re-do my entire suspension on the vehicle and I threw in lift springs to replace the bags.

Toyota wanted something like $700 for new sensors and install to fix the malfunctioning system.
