black_beauty Posted September 26, 2006 Share Posted September 26, 2006 Did anybody experience your Lexus beeping when it turns on corners? I have a 2000 Lexus 300 bought used. Not sure if this is normal. If it is, what does it means? Thanks! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

anthonyiez Posted September 27, 2006 Share Posted September 27, 2006 yes, the type of beep would help...but i am willing to say that any "beep" while turning shouldn't be there. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
andrecat112 Posted September 27, 2006 Share Posted September 27, 2006 i donno if its acutal beeping, but i do notice that when turning the steering wheel, for example when turning the wheel to parking into a parking spot, i hear a soft squeak coming from the steering wheel/column area. could it have something to do with the cold temps in the morning?

chajones Posted September 27, 2006 Share Posted September 27, 2006 I have experienced the same thing. The dealer has said the steering wheel/column needed to be lubricated. Once that is done the sft sqeak goes away, at least for a while. I don't know how they lubricated it, or with what. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
anthonyiez Posted September 27, 2006 Share Posted September 27, 2006 spray on white lithium grease will be your friend. every toyota vehicle built on the camry platform does this. at the bottom of the steering column, right where it goes through the rubber boot, is where you need to lubricate it. push the boot back slightly and while turning the steering wheel spray the grease between the shaft and the rubber boot. keep a towel handy so you don't get any grease on the floor.

denslexusgx470 Posted September 28, 2006 Share Posted September 28, 2006 could it be some sort of VSC beeping? i just watched the videos someone posted in the general forum of their day during the lexus test drive, and i noticed that when he drove fast in the RX and SC, and drove fast on turns, the car beeps! idk if it's the same beep black_beauty is talking about.

We kinda side-tracked with andrecat112's question on beeping when he was parking, which I THINK is a different thing from the beeping in the first post. ;) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
anthonyiez Posted September 29, 2006 Share Posted September 29, 2006 cool...btw, its fun when you actually get the car out far enough to *BLEEP* the vsc to the point it beeps :D Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
timothy Posted September 30, 2006 Share Posted September 30, 2006 cool...btw, its fun when you actually get the car out far enough to *BLEEP* the vsc to the point it beeps :D hello, i have a 04 es which i get beeps in slippery conditions when i turn. i think its from the traction control, its kinda strange i only get at certain times and hard to pinpoint the cause. i dont think its anything serious, didnt read the whole thread yet, just out the door and read this a little bit . take care timothy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If so that is the VSC indicator light....it has an audio warning to it too. I think the beeping we are discussing is different. steviej Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
anthonyiez Posted October 2, 2006 Share Posted October 2, 2006 the vsc will only beep when the car thinks its really in trouble. other than that, it normally just blinks. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have not had this happen since I had new tires installed. sorry the reply took so long. Timothy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
anthonyiez Posted October 7, 2006 Share Posted October 7, 2006 yep, tires with limited tread will make the vsc overtime. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MrsT Posted June 13, 2019 Share Posted June 13, 2019 The beeping I have is more of an alarm and is happening when I'm taking curves. Sometimes switching lanes and I've noticed if the steering wheel stays farther right/left than a certain point it will continue to beep until I am able to somehow adjust the wheel. There are some parts of my local highway system that I drive where the beep is continuous because there is no way to move the steering wheel in the opposite direction to get the beep to stop. Also the steering wheel itself seems "loose". I'm not sure if that is contributing or not. 2002 Lexus RX300. I have been unsuccessful in figuring out what is going on. Personal replies to email would be great. mscandy4@hotmail.com since I'm not sure I can find my way back here. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
