Gs400 Door Lock Problems?

[ABQFirefighter]

My 400's door locks freak out once in a while. Sometimes some of the doors don't lock or unlock with either the remote or the interior switch. Does anybody else have any problems like this? If so, do you have or have you heard of any remedies? Thanks for the help!

At a minimum, have Lexus Dealer change or reset your Lexus Personalized Settings. There is a .pdf on lexus site. Here is a quick synopsis.

DO NOT pay for this.

Good Luck,

2001 GS300/430 Carry over from earlier GS plus Automatic Door Lock function has been added. This will automatically lock doors, but will not automatically unlock doors. The driver's inside door handle can be pulled with that door locked and the door will open.

Unfortunately if it does it from the interior switch as well as the remote, it's probably the doorlock controller or a wiring issue. <_<

Has anyone taken in their used Lexus bought from a non-Lexus dealer and had these settings changed. Are they charging for this?? It seems like the 01 GS300's can't be programmed to auto unlock, can the auto lock just be disabled? This feature is a pain getting little kids out of the car!!!

Thanks, Kerry

Cannot be done without a Lexus/Toyota computer. And yes, the Lexus dealer normally does charge for this at the standard rate.
