  1. Just filled up my 2001 LS430 at Chevron here in Hawaii with Primium gas 92 octane. 22.25 gallons went in and the pump stopped at $75 exactly. It looks like the Chevron pumps at that staion maxes out at $75. My 2000 GS300 max fills up to about 17-18 gallons with Primium and cost between $55-$60.
  2. For those who are getting 22-25MPG, what numbers does it read on your MPG dashboard? Mines say 14 MPG...seems a bit low. I dont' drive fast and very light on the pedal. I am going to try and replace the air filter (maybe K&N) and slowly make more improvements if MPG does not improve. Maybe plugs, 02 sensors, oil change etc...Want some feedback on your MPG readout on your dashboard and changes made to improve MPG.
  3. Are you saying you have a (master key with remote) and also a (valet key wit no remote)? The master key will open everythning and the valet key will open only the doors and start the car. You will need the master key if you want to reprogram another master key yourself after getting it cut by someone who can do laser cuts. If not, your Lexus dealer can make one for you but it will cost an arm and a leg. Below is how you do it. Good Luck! Dano123 Lexus Key and Remote Programming Key Programming 1. Insert an already programmed master key into the ignition. Do not turn. 2. Press and release the gas pedal 5 times. 3. Press and release the brake pedal 6 times. 4. Remove the key from the ignition. 5. Insert the new key you want to program into the ignition. 6. Press and release the gas pedal one time. 7. Wait 1 minute. The security light will be blinking for this one minute. When it stops blinking your key is programmed. To end programming step on brake one time. NOTE: Look for your security light. This light will guide you during the programming procedure. The security light will go off at Step 1. It will remain off until Step 6. The security light will come on and start to blink after Step 6 until the key is programmed. If the security light comes on after Step 4 STOP the procedure and start over again. If you perform this procedure too slowly your car will not go into programming mode. If you can not get your car to go into programming mode make sure you are using a master key and not a valet key. If you have a master key then you will probably need to perform this procedure more quickly. Remote Programming 1. Close and lock all doors. Unlock and open drivers door. 2. Put key into ignition and remove. Do not turn it on. 3. Using the electric lock switch. Lock and unlock 5 times. (Lock, Unlock, Lock, Unlock, Lock, Unlock, Lock, Unlock, Lock, Unlock) 4. Close and open drivers door. 5. Using the electric lock switch. Lock and unlock 5 times. (Lock, Unlock, Lock, Unlock, Lock, Unlock, Lock, Unlock, Lock, Unlock) 6. Put key into ignition. Turn to "ON" , turn off and remove. 7. You will see the door locks cycle by themselves. If the door locks do not cycle (lock and unlock) by themselves then the car isn’t in programming mode and you must start over. 8. On the remote, press and hold the LOCK and the UNLOCK button at the same time for no more than 2 seconds. 9. On the remote, press the LOCK button for no more than 1 second. AT THIS POINT, the locks should cycle by themselves ONE time. This means the procedure was accepted. IF the locks cycle twice it has failed. The most common reason for programming failure is because the car didn’t receive a good signal from the remote. To fix this problem try these tips. 1) Stand outside of the car while you are performing steps 8 and 9. 2) Don’t hold the remote buttons down as long. As long as the car is still in programming mode you can keep trying steps 8 and 9 until you complete the programming. If you wait too long and the car exits the programming mode then you must start over. After you get the remote to program then continue on with step 10. 10. Close and open door to end programming procedure.
  4. You will need a master key if you are going to reprogram the new master keys yourself and go through a series of steps. You can follow this link which tells you how to do it. Make sure to get it cut also from someone who is famililar with laser key cutting. The car will not start until you program the key even if it has been cut.

  5. Hi Everyone, I know I have must have read through all of the Bank 1 Sensor 2 forums and still confused where it is located. There use to be a photo of the Bank 1 Sensor 2 in the engine area on one of the forums before but I can't seem to find it anymore. I have bought the Sensor removal wrench and now I need to know which one to order and where it is located. I seen one guy selling them on ebay item 140112821362 and was wondering if this is the correct one. I kind of want to get the one that does not need splicing of the wires if it will make it easier. I don't mind spending a few dollars more. The seller te_x_as on Ebay seems to have some good prices in the $59 range for the ones with the plug in fittings and not splice type. Please advise on which ones to buy though. My check engine light came on and when I tested it with the OBD tool it showed as Scan Trouble Code P0141 02 Sensor Heater Circuit Malfunction (Bank 1 Sensor 2). I just want to replace this sensor and get rid of my check engine light. Can someone let me know which part to buy and how easy is it to install. I need pictures of where it is located as I am new to this. Any helpful info would help! Thanks, Dano...
