Locking Central Diff

[fernandolpa]

Anybody knos how to lock the central diff?

I do some offroading and sometimes I need to lock the central diff -even partially- to get more traction.

Sometimes to get more traction I use the snow swtich and L. I do not know if SNOW locks the centrl diff or not. Any ideas? Any information? My Lexu dealer is even more lost than I.

Any way to do it? I imagine that I will need to do some moficiation or even installing a switch, as the traction and transmission is controlled electronically.

Any help will be appreciatted.

You cant lock them and even the traction ETC Snow just start the car in 2nd gear. I think you should have bought a GX or LX. Anyways what year do u have? The first gen 97- 2003 and 07- Present has the best AWD drive from what I hear. Mine and other 04-06 RX have the bad AWD bc Lexus got cheap or something like that. But what I am sure of is NO lock differential and ETC snow just start the car in 2nd gear. Thats it very basic

I have 2001 model, european spec, made in Japan.

Are you sure that SNOW just do that? I use SNOW with L gear and of course starts in 1st when doing so. Then what is the purpose of the SNOW in an AWD car?

Read your manual the snow button just starts the RX with trans in 2nd gear.
