The car normally operated all weekend, but upon heading home, the converse occurred. The car would not shift into upper gears. I thought I could "hobble" home at lower speed, albeit higher RPM. About 12 miles on the interstate, the exhaust started to smoke (no surprise), then subsided Pulled off, found an O'Relly's auto parts and they pulled the codes (attached). Cleared the codes in hopes it might function normally. I did NOT disconnect the battery per my mechanic over the phone. I did not want to continue to trouble shoot with a call full of people and luggage. So...I towed car back to highly acclaimed transmission shop--they open tomorrow. Consistent with RX400h (Dave) and other research, the findings are similar. Recall that there were no codes two days before. 9 Errors (attached) Solenoid's (pressure controls) (4), Shift (2),Transmission Fluid Pressure Sensor/Switch (1), Cylinder 6 misfire (1), System too rich (1). I would like to understand the estimated cost and level of effort at a transmission specialist from this forum. Starting to do a bit more digging now... Hopeful from rural Illinois 🙂 Note: The family had two cars so we could bring things home from college. We swapped the clothing for people, I sent my wife and 3 adult kids home. I staying at my daughter's apartment while they look at the car, and reliving my college days 🙂 2024-05-10 Transmission Codes.pdf -
so i will try to make this as short and simple as possible, I ordered a rebuilt rack and pinion from detroit axle, had a hell of a time getting it swapped out with the old one, after thinking i was done with the install I realized i didnt put new crush rings on the pressure and return line coming from the rack, that was mistake # 1. Mistake number 2 i bent and broke the banjo fitting that comes from the return line from the rack. So i was able to find a fitting inplace of the banjo fitting and connected it to the return side, no problems no leaks. Got the car put back together and it doesnt seem to much power steering and when turning the wheel all the way to the left it seems like the tire is rubbing? I double checked to make sure the rack was centered which it is, havent been able to have someone look while turning left to see what exactly is rubbing yet. Oh yea and in the process my wheel got turned or moved so the steering was off half a turn to the left when the wheels were straight so i disconnected the sliding yoke from the steering shaft and gave it a half a turn back to the right so the wheel was straight with the tires centered and now my telescopic steering wont work lol -
sorry for the late response! The component is not available by itself, i had to order a new rack and pinion from detroit axle due to this part being broken

Hey Dark Horse, I’m experiencing a similar issue with my ‘04. What shop did you use?
