For 2009 ES350

Windshield washer stopped working on passenger side and now the driver's side. I don't hear anything when I turn it on. Does this mean I need to replace the pumps? There is 1 on each side, correct?

2009 ES350

One side of windshield washer failed one day and now both don't work. Fuse is good and I don't hear the pump when trying to operate. Exactly what part need to be replaced? Just the pump w/ grommet or is there an actual motor?

Mine's a 2009 model.
TPMS light came on so I checked and filled all tires including the spare. They were all at around 33PSI except a couple at 30.5 so I filled all of them to 34PSI. I've driven over 300 miles since but the light is still on. I even tried disconnecting the battery for about 30secs but it's still on. Can someone help? Thank you.   

I had the plug and coil replaced and everything seemed fine.  VSC light came back on again and the trouble code read is P0185.

How clear are the lenses? If they look like glass Sylvania halogen should be good. 

If they aren't clear as glass a 3m headlight restore kit can make your lights seem a lot brighter. 

Lenses not very clear. I'll try the 3M like you said then replace with Sylvania.

Please recommend something bright, white and longer lasting.  Thank you!

Car shaking like crazy when stopped and even when in motion, feels like the engine's going to die. What should I check first? I'm scared to drive it to the shop.

Oops.  Not sure why my profile said SC.  Corrected to ES350.😊

I have a 2009 model black. I'm trying do some touch up jobs. How do I find out what paint color #?

My 2009 just hit 120K miles (75% high way). Other than regular oil changes, it has not received any major maintenance since the 30K service from the dealer.
Please help me with a list of things I should get done (ie which fluids to change, tuneup, etc).

Thank you so much!

Got a brake job for all wheels yesterday.  Front wheels included new rotors and back ones for pads only.  Went to my trusty mechanic and paid $520.  Was this a fair deal?

no I have to program the 2nd set ot tpms. but how do i do it w/o going to the dealer?

Last night, I changed to winter wheels and drove today with no problem. Just now one the way home, the low tire pressure warning light blinked for a minute and remained on. I checked the tire pressure and all 4 tires are even at 35psi. What can be wrong here? I tightened all wheels properly at 76 ft/lb using a torque wrench.

Clearance came out tighter than actual in these photos. Tire size are identical to the original.

I just changed to winter tires on my '09 ES350 and noticed that the strut is only about an 1.5" directly above the inside edge of the tire. Please see the photo and tell me if this is normal. FYI, winter tire is 17" and all specs are identical to the orginal. Thank you.

Yesterday, I came back from work to see that our garage door was left open all day then in the middle of the night, I saw that it was opened again. Luckily, nothing was taken from our garage. When I checked the homelink button, it was jammed in (stuck) which most likely is causing this. When I tested the button, it keeps getting stuck. How do I fix this?

sorry..2009 ES350, less than 50K miles.

I can't open it by lightly pushing on it anymore. I have to force it open by pressing the back part. Spring action is gone. I made sure nothing is jammed in there.

Is there anything I can do to fix it and is this covered under a warranty?

Battery was low on my key so I had to flip the little cover open to use the key. I thought I put it back but it's missing. I've been searching all over the on the internet and browsing thru old posts but can't seem to find where to buy it from before I contact the dealer. Does anyone know where I can buy it or the part#? Thanks.

When I'm entering the address or telephone of the destination, the screeen freezes if I pause for too long. Same thing happens with bluetooth system. Unless I enter the phone number without long pauses, screen freezes.

I then have to go back to menu and start over after a few minutes. Is this normal?

When I turn on the seat cooler, I only feel the cool air coming out from the seat cushion not the backrest. Is this normal?

Back to the subject on the octane, I just bought a 2009 ES350 and the sales guy said the required octane is 90. So say I put in half 87 and half 93, what is the guarantee that it'd be mixed properly to produce that exact 90?

I'm not sure if your pulling our leg or not, but this is a bad idea and no, it won't work. First of all, your sales person is wrong. The upper octane rating is 91. I suppose it may vary by region, but in my travels I have never come across a pump with 90 octane unleaded. Usually there are the standard three grades; 87-89-91 octane. Secondly, many of us use 89 or in the case of a 2010 ES, even 87 octane without engine knock or other problems.

Trying to mix two grades of gas to end up with a totally different grade is insane.

No, I don't think we're on the same page. Sales guy did say 90 is the most accurate grade for this car but I know 90 isn't available at any stations. Around here is 87-89-93. Orginal topic of this thread is about mixing 2 grades to make it 90 so all I was asking if I put in 50/50 of 87 & 93, will it mix properly and create that perfect 90.

I always refer to the manual first then if I can't find an answer, I try it here.
