Yes, after replacing the battery in your 2016 Lexus RX350, you will need to perform a reset to ensure all systems are functioning optimally. Here are the steps to reset your Lexus after replacing the battery:

1. Turn Off the Ignition and Disconnect the Negative Terminal: Before you start, make sure the ignition is turned off. Then, disconnect the negative terminal of the battery¹.

2. Wait for 15 Minutes: Allow the vehicle’s systems to reset by waiting for about 15 minutes.

3. Reconnect the Negative Terminal and Turn On the Ignition: After waiting, reconnect the negative terminal and turn on the ignition¹.

4. Reset Specific Functions: Follow the on-screen prompts to reset specific functions. This includes resetting the clock and date settings, power windows and sunroof, and the audio and navigation systems.

5. Test the Functionality of Your Lexus After Resetting: After you’ve completed the reset, test the functionality of your Lexus to ensure everything is working properly.

Please note that each window has to be reset individually. To do this, start the vehicle and roll each window down and hold for  second. Also, all your radio presets will be lost and you will have to re-enter all.

If you experience any issues with the functionality of your Lexus after resetting, troubleshooting options are available for common issues during the resetting process. A comprehensive test drive helps identify and address any remaining issues.
