Big G Posted May 4, 2004 Posted May 4, 2004 Hi All, I replaced the battery on my key and it still will not open the trunk or lock and unlock the doors. I called the dealer regarding the problem and they said, it would be around $60.00 to reset something. Anyone have this type of problem and get it fixed with the help of a manual or some other method?

Anyone have this type of problem and get it fixed with the help of a manual or some other method? hey gilbert, whats up my friend... my my my you have lots of questions. well, the remote that's on your key will only lock and unlock your doors. it has no control to remotely open the trunk. and now a possible solution for your dilema. sit in your driver seat. directly left of your steering collumn and above your e-break release handle should be a little square area with a switch and a keylock of some sort.... well you'll see it... that switch controls your remote from your key to the computer which will enable or disable the remote signal. try pushing the button and see if you are able to lock and unlock your car. when i get home today, i'll take some pics, but i'm sure you can figure it out. good luck
Big G Posted May 4, 2004 Author Posted May 4, 2004 Hey TT! You seem well read on the Lexus GS. I switch the remote key on and off and still no change. The remote key simply doesn't not want to play nice. I will research a bit more and find out what can be don. Thanks so far. G

G hey gilbert what's up. sorry to hear that the switch wasn't a remedy. all i can say is that you have a faulty remote key or computer. might want to check with lexus about that. if i can find out any more info on the key, i'll hit you up.
arsmtts Posted May 5, 2004 Posted May 5, 2004 Check the previous posts on keys. I had to replace mine and I went through Streetkeys. Ultimately, I ended up programming doors and trunk myself.
jbrubaker Posted May 5, 2004 Posted May 5, 2004 Do you have the reprogramming procedure. Mine is a 94 with the same problems described by Big G
Big G Posted May 5, 2004 Author Posted May 5, 2004 Hi All, I've been researching this problem. Results: I do not have the reprogramming procedure and even the dealer could not help me. They wanted me to purchase a new key to see if that would fix it and if that didn't do it they wanted me to purchase a new computer for the car and still they didn't know if that was going to fix it. I went to Kerney Mesa Lexus in San Diego California. I am stuck right now and no one seems to have an idea of how to fix this problem. I tried www.streetkeys.com and they could not help or recommend a place that might offer assistance.

Big G Posted May 5, 2004 Author Posted May 5, 2004 T, I stay near Mission Valley. What does Aristo mean?
TWINTURBO619 Posted May 5, 2004 Posted May 5, 2004 T, I stay near Mission Valley. What does Aristo mean? mission valley, very nice... money town!!! whoo hoo... anyways "aristo" is the japanese version of our car. I'm a car fanatic and i think japasese cars are better in every aspect than american cars. So... I did a japanese conversion on my car. Lexus GS300 = Toyota ARISTO in japan, the aristo comes with non-turbo, twinturbo, or V8 in the states, we get the non-turbo engine well there's your jdm crash course for the gs300/aristo if there's anything else you want to know, hit me up about it... or for the matter, what ever you want to discuss.
Big G Posted May 5, 2004 Author Posted May 5, 2004 Thanks for the information on the GS300. When it comes to the GS300, you know your car. I will ask you other questions in the future as necessary. Thanks. I am waiting for the information from your contact in Florida on the key issue. Please let me know if you can provide the contact information. Thanks, G.
