OK, so I don't appear totally stupid when I talk to the dealer. Why should he open the battery compartment and look for water - what would that mean? I have searched several forums for 'ISC reset' without a hit. What is that and what does it do? Can you possibly send me a link to it please

I really don't know, but they had the car for three days testing and data logging, with input from Lexus Canada Technical Support. I could ask them this question, but would need to understand what I am asking

I have a problem with the Hybrid battery not working: 1. Problems first appeared very suddenly in Late October 2016 when temperatures were well above 0°C. 2. Traction battery shows continually full (6-7 bars on display – 70% - 85%) and is continually charging. 3. Even at low speeds at temperatures above 6°C only runs on battery for 10 – 30 seconds, and then needs engine assistance. 4. Consumption now 8.0 – 9.5 l/100 per tank, increased from 6.5. 5. Occasionally, when the vehicle is parked overnight with the battery showing full, it immediately displays around 30% on start-up the next day, but charges to full within ½ kilometre. 6. When, on full battery, vehicle is forced into EV mode even at speeds less than 20kph, will empty the battery from 80% to 30% within ½km and then recharge very over the same distance to 80%. My local dealer had the car for 3 days, for extensive testing and states 'diagnostics showed no problem' Effectively I have a gas engine car, not a hybrid and the dealer and Lexus Canada are stating that the car is normal. Anybody have similar problems

There is the facility, by pressing the 'Auto' button on the dashboard, to vary 'Air Intake Control Sensitivity' from -3 to +3. Can anyone tell me what this does, and how can I stop the system from switching to recirculated air when I first start the car
