  1. If you have a TRAC light on, and no CHECK ENGINE LIGHT on, you have a problem in the TRAC system. Pulling fuses or disconnecting the battery will not fix it. Jump pins TC and E1 and read the code.
  2. You need a code reader to pull the code. You have OBDII.
  3. Sounds like the valves got bent when the belt broke. They have to pull of the heads and replace some valves. Lots of work, so make sure everything looks correct before you drive away.
  4. Wrong battery, should be a at least a 710cca battery. 27f group size.
  5. It's not a shame they do that. It's to protect them. 2wd are not are rigid as the 4wd. Front wheel drive would have poor traction if some fool did try to tow when they shouldn't.
  6. You need a fan bracket. you have to take off the left side engine timing covers. The bracket has 2, 12mm & 2, 14mm fasteners on the front. Also 2 of the A/C compressor bolts from the side.
  7. You have a marked point or destination in your Nav's memory with an audio tag on it. In the Nav menu you can link a point of interest to have 1 of 4 different musical tones. Each time you pass near the point of interest, the nav will make that chosen chime.
  8. Under the r/f seat. Unbolt and lean it back. If you have Navagation, you'll have to unbolt the nav dvd player to get to the amp.
  9. Disconnect the negative battery clamp for a minute and reconnect
  10. You have the GEN 3 nav system. Only updated for GEN 3 will work.
  11. Drove a GS450h yesterday. Amazing car. Tons of power. Can't really feel the gas engine come on like the RX400. Super smooth. Active sway bars really make the GS handle well.
  12. Sure you can do the swap. Buy a IS350 motor/trans, wiring harness, ECU's, fuel pumps, pipes, and swap them into your car.
  13. I have seen some sport pkg. equpped IS's with the shade.
  14. New driveshaft and rear control arms get replaced.
  15. Do you mean like a engine knocking noise when you take off?
  16. There are 2 bolts that hold the fusible links in the block.
  17. Change the motor mounts and you'll feel more of an improvement
  18. SK is correct. Your throttle body is super dirty. If you remove the throttle body and look inside you should see some light pass through, the plate and body. Once carbon/deposits build-up the idle speed contol is the only thing maintaining idle speed. I have seem this on many 1995-1996 SC400's
  19. That AUTO down feature can be turned off buy the dealer. Any car can be broken open with a screwdriver to the door lock.
  20. Having worked at Mercedes and Lexus dealers, Lexus is #1. Best quality, reliability, and overall experience. If you think Benz is better, go buy/drive those Eurotrash vehicles and watch your money go down the drain to rent a car while your "new" Benz is in the shop for weird over-engineered breakdowns.
  21. Codes 21 and 24 are normal if you checked for codes while not in direct sunlight. Those 2 codes will go away if you check codes in direct sunlight. Sounds like the compressor is seizing.
