I had the same problem with AFS on my 2007 ES350 - could not locate the switch (it's referenced in my manual, but picture was not very helpful). Instruction to locate switch was perfect. Worked like a champ. Thanks! Victor

the picture shows hole's 3 and 5 not 3 and 4.

My ‘06 470 developed a TOTAL UP rear end with a very bumpy ride. I followed the advice from the Forum and YouTube. I replaced the TWO ride SENSORS, L and R. I purchased the parts on Amazon, $109. 1. Raised rear end onto jack stands. 2. Removed wheels L&R. 3. SLOWLY removed each SENSOR. (I soaked the mounting hex bolts with JB Blaster) 4. Replaced SENSORS in reverse order. 5. Once the wheels were back on the ground I disconnected the battery for 10mins. 6. Once electric power was restored the car VERY SLOWLY returned to NORMAL stance. 7. I spent 8hrs total. I’m NOT a highly skilled mechanic, with a very basic tool box.

Were you able to figure out the issue? I’m having the same problem:(

I have the opportunity to purchase an '06 Lexus LX470 (170k Miles) in Cypress Pearl - Ivory interior in great condition. All necessary repairs and maintenance were performed this month.

I didn’t do anything to resolve the “problem”. My Celsior doesn’t need that relay. My fan is hydraulic and I don’t have heated seats.

Someone mentioned a Washer fuse. I couldn't find one marked washer. Can you tell me where it is located? Thanks CaptainSal

How can I disconnect so it won't try to come up lexus sc430? Is there a fuse?

RX350 2007. I have the same problem. Loud thumping in rear when going over bumps or when turning. Suspension checks out ok. Spare tire ok. Any thoughts?

So, did you get it sorted? What was the cause of it running so rich?

Did you manage to get the glitch fixed? Sidebar thought: I've heard from several sources that cleaning the display screen with an interior cleaner that contains ammonia is an absolute no-no. Ahmed at The Car Care Nut YouTube channel (highly recommended) says the same. Perhaps that's the contagion that struck your nav screen?

You help your way, I will help my way. If you check my posts on here you will find all of them are technical and helping answer other people's questions. The vast majority, like this question, are questions posted by first post members, who ask one question, get the answer they need, never come back to even bother to say thanks, let alone add any value to the group later on. If you don't think my answers add value, feel free to put me on ignore but don't tell me how I need to help.

Read the instructions, follow them are certainly complicated. In the CT (2017 with ML audio, sunroof, leather (synthetic) and all the extras available here) we have it is far simpler: Car is not turned on - take out the old microSD-card - insert the new microSD-card - turn on the car. Updated navigations system (2021) functions after about 20 minutes with car turned on. Have not updated since as the navigations system in Lexus is not worth using; often tells you to follow longer roads and sometimes against one way streets. Any smartphone has better navigations system and with completely free updates except for handing info about where you are while using the navigation over to Google. Most people do that anyway. Apple system is not better, also steal all the info available whenever using your phone.

Extreme price. Here we can buy map updates on micro-SD-cards around 40€. https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/355554589554?itmmeta=01HVE4M16HGXB9T4ZGXYABJCNN&hash=item52c8b47b72:g:ovEAAOSwolBkxm54&itmprp=enc%3AAQAJAAAA8FZyOZPfnbsqRjz4h%2F3PjSUyHW5p6IWCYSuHa5z62vUCx5ddwq3RblF7o0r13Wt19Ct4dh4yR%2BKthmI9Rpj%2Bo4JuGqDvisyly6quAQigIlcOqtRUSSGFIsjMtCWsWw9IHiqwkwVXmV%2F2Gr6vyvIQcsDMv4r%2BBIs1i75ENXPYTjkZnqLyOL46kIwLTZYhZMGidBHk%2BGudXUY425m20yjhymTTLE1IGbgx27OpzdxIaRn8%2Bw4nylwuIJ0U3%2F1nNmQ0Koemw%2FiuHv7BMemzjNvp%2BjZG5LaSSw0YxksDwWNHrwn%2FMZQZXxCd5DpqGDjaVAXuYw%3D%3D|tkp%3ABk9SR7CT0MTbYw

In April 2024 my local Lexus dealer charged me $215 for the map update SD card. With the engine off, remove the old SD card, pop in the new one, start the car, follow the on-screen prompts. The update takes about twenty minutes to complete.

Anyone got a ecu pinout or wiring diagram for engine control unit for a 1mz-fe? Thank you

@iamdboy Thanks a lot. I tried the same website and it worked perfectly

Typical, new member, one post, never comes back, no thank you for the info. Pretty common pattern on this and other car forums. They wonder why newbies have a hard time getting an answer.

Have the rack and peninion checked my 99 Lexus Rx 300 makes popping sound when you turn the steering wheel left to right it's currently in shop due out let's see if the problem is gone

I would recommend looking at looking at OEM wheel specifications for each car on the tirerack.com site. You can also give them a call for their expert advice.

Hi guys! I just recently purchased an 08’ Lexus ES350. I’ve been reading up on the tricks and from what I am being told is that inside the armrest you actually have access to Bluetooth for your music. Is this true? I absolutely love my car!!! I just sold my 07’ INFINITI and got the Lexus. Best move ever! So many gadgets. Lexus was ahead of the times especially for an 08’. Glad to have found this page!!!

UPDATE: Was able to confirm the 7.5a fuse circled in the picture above is blown. Changed fuse to a new one and still have no crank, believe there is still no power to the starter relay location under the hood. (Tried to bridge the spades to manually jump the starter and got nothing.
