Intermittent Starting Issues - Gs 300 Awd
steviej replied to bhayaani's topic in 06 - 12 Lexus GS300 / GS350 / GS460
need three things to start the car. spark, fuel and air. you replaced battery but did anyone check the cables to make sure ground connection was secure and clean? To me is sounds like a fuel pressure or lazy fuel pump problem. Any problems with performance once car is started? Has anyone hooked up a scan tool upon start up to see what fuel pressures are. If the car is warm, does it start right up? You mention the car has to sit for a time for the no start condition to occur. This makes me think it could be a coolant temperature sensor malfunction or some other temperature related sen- 11 replies

Catalytic Converter On 2006 Gs300
steviej replied to TCKennett's topic in 06 - 12 Lexus GS300 / GS350 / GS460
hard to say without knowing what the orginal trouble codes were. It could be that the failed O2 sensor allowed too much gas fumes into the CC and thus causesd that to crap out. Sounds like the chicken and the egg conundrum. steviej -
Gs300 2006 Brake Caliper Malfunction
steviej replied to GS300Miami's topic in 06 - 12 Lexus GS300 / GS350 / GS460
I had both my rear calipers replaced by Lexus FOR FREE after a writing a letter to customer service. They original calipers were fine and pins replaced via the 2009 service campaign. Less than 2 years later both calipers supposedly remedied by the service campaign failed for the exact reason the serivce campaign was intended. Lexus is aware of the poor design of the lower caliper pin on the rear units. Simple resolve for me is to grease these pins well 2x a year when I swap my summer wheels for winter wheels and back. It is very easy to grease these pins. You have the same model as me, -
the answer you seek lies in the reply to your post in a different thread: see below. You stated the reason yourself. It is because you diconnected the battery. Both the moonroof and power windows will have to be "normalized", in other words, they have relearn their respective programming. The instructions are clearly described in your owners manual and previously in this thread. Simply stated: Moonroof: push and hold the UP button unitl the moon roof tilts all the way up and then down a little automatically.

2011 Gs Cracked Center Console

request/kindly demand a meeting with the service manager, the general manager of the dealership and the regional Lexus customer service representative. Unfortunately that panel piece is about $900 online. Tell them that if they do not replace it, then you will move all your service business to another dealership and recommend to all your friends on and offline that they do so as well. The dealership stands to lose more revenue in lost service than they will by replacing one panel. Ask them to show you in print where their "bumper to bumper" warranty states that this piece is not covered. -
Trd Push To Start Button
steviej replied to leeladisky's topic in 06 - 12 Lexus GS300 / GS350 / GS460
The button is red, the TRD and oval will light up green when you step on the brake. you can get it for $229 here $229, really??? :chairshot: steviej -
Really. The plugs in there are iridium and these last a long time. I was skeptical at first on my 2002 ES and changed them at 60K (recommendation was 90k). I could have waited, the plugs were pristine. On my 2006 GS300 AWD, the recommendation is 100-120k. Again, on a Saturday afternoon with 90k on the clock, I had nothing to do so I replaced them. Once again they were pristine. As for the coil packs, I wouldn't replace them unless any unless it was giving you problems or is throwing a misfire code. And if that be the case I would start with the problem pack and replace one at a time.

New Wheels/do I Need Sensors?
steviej replied to yaya250's topic in 06 - 12 Lexus GS300 / GS350 / GS460
Go for it. My winter tires (225/50-17) are mounted on the stock 17" wheels and my three season tires (245/40-18) are mounted on Lexus G-Spyder 18" wheels. There are plenty of options for 18" wheels out there, pick something that really pops (doesn't have to be Lexus brand. The only thing I noticed is the 18" tires rubbed a tiny little bit on the back wall of the wheel well when I cut the steering wheel all the way when making a left turn. This stopped after about 15,000 miles on the tires. steviej -

Billy, is your RX400h out of warranty? That part should be covered if you are still under. steviej -
New Wheels/do I Need Sensors?
steviej replied to yaya250's topic in 06 - 12 Lexus GS300 / GS350 / GS460
nope. If the wheels mounted on the car do not have TPMS sensors, thent he little idiot light will stay on. Two solutions: 1. get a second set of sensors and mount them in the new wheels, 2. put a little piece of black electrical tape over the idiot light. steviej
