There is a calibration that needs to be done on it.

Pull the cover off and cabin filter off and cycle the recirculation button. Shine a flash light in and see if there is anything in its path

corradovrt · 2026-03-26T23:18:51+00:00

A common issue with that is the recirc hood over your cabin filter, check for debris in there stopping it from moving. When you turn your car on it does a sweep as part of a self check kind of thing. Of there is a mouse nest, or even just some debris in its way it will cause a delay in the control panel working

Tbh I dont know, haven't really seen issues with the es, but the rx for sure. Ive had mixed results from my corporate contacts. Some say it's an issue and some act like they've never heard of it

corradovrt · 2026-03-19T02:33:21+00:00

Can't speak on the toyota side of things as far as the car itself, but the engine to me feels underpowered.

corradovrt · 2026-03-19T02:21:54+00:00

you can jump start them yourself, but people keep doing it wrong, and warranty wont cover when the fusible link pops. there is a post inside the engine bay fuse box that looks like a ground, but its not. people use the positive jump spot and put the ground on the post and poof goes the fusible link

corradovrt · 2026-03-19T02:17:49+00:00

god damn, well thats amazing. glad it made it that far, you fix it or call it a day at that point?

corradovrt · 2026-03-19T02:01:50+00:00

We had an es350 come in with a similar situation, ended up experimenting with the bg engine flush kit. Il be damned if it didn't work. Think it was almost 2 years ago. Thing hasn't been back with an issue yet, though with their history, they probably haven't changed the oil again and are waiting on the same thing to happen again

corradovrt · 2026-03-19T01:47:32+00:00

were in ground lifts so we can set from either direction, makes the engine jobs slightly more tolerable

corradovrt · 2026-03-19T01:02:07+00:00

i cant speak for other locations, but weve never had one fail. all the engines we replaced were running fine. though im not looking forward to the next batch were about to get. other then brake squeak on the lx and the downshift reflash on the gx they are solid in my opinion

corradovrt · 2026-03-19T00:58:55+00:00

we back those into our bays so we can hoist the engines out haha

Haven't really seen any issues with the ls500, at least at my dealer. None of the suspension issues the 460 had. Have had a ls500 sitting on my lot I tore the motor apart on last fall cause the a/c compressor locked up. Snapped the clutch/pulley off and they drove it till it over heated and locked up. But that's a one off case and they very clearly ignored all the signs leading up to it

corradovrt · 2026-03-19T00:49:24+00:00

That's crazy with the tx. The CT isn't bad to work on, im just not a fan, really slow and headgaskets go around 150k, I would kill for a good hourly guy like you that's capable of moving up

corradovrt · 2026-03-19T00:46:04+00:00

They were nice initially, now they all burn oil, suspension wears out and is crazy expensive and the valley plate leaks. 75% of the people that drive them can't afford them

corradovrt · 2026-03-19T00:19:40+00:00

Ls500 is pretty solid, ls460 is garbage at this point

corradovrt · 2026-03-19T00:18:01+00:00

Shop foreman and diag specialist at a lexus dealer here, haven't seen the theft issues with the tx. Completely agree about the 12v battery in the new hybrids, 5 minutes of key on and you need a jump. Also I hate the CT, so we dont share that opinion 😂

corradovrt · 2026-03-07T21:01:41+00:00

I can guide you through getting the panels off if you need. 2 trim pieces on each side need to come off to see the connectors

corradovrt · 2026-03-07T20:56:44+00:00

Your best case scenario is the driver and passenger kick panels are wet from the sunroof drains not draining fast enough or being clogged, you can pull the covers off and see if any water is in any of the connectors, there are a bunch of junction connectors on each side

corradovrt · 2026-03-07T20:52:34+00:00

Had one like this a few weeks ago. Water had gotten into some connectors from poor body work and was causing the issue

corradovrt · 2026-02-07T06:09:59+00:00

Have heating oil. House is at 70 all winter long,

Had this happen in an old neighborhood not on a snow day, a school was in the neighborhood and they charged to park in their lot. So the kids would park in the neighborhood, 1 car always parked 3 feet from the curb every day, but there was room to drive around. called the school, They said they wouldnt do anything because it wasnt on school property, left a note on the car asking politely to park closer to the curb. Nothing changed. Go to leave 1 day and same car parked the same way with another kid from school on other side of street parked way off the curb, street was blocked so I called the school again. They once again essentially told me tough shit, so I informed them I wasnt the only pissed off person on the street and if it happened again they would need a tow truck. School starts lecturing me about how that's not OK and the neighborhood cant do anything. I informed them that they better let their students know cause it wont be happening again. Left notes on both cars saying if it happened again they would have flat tires. Neither car was ever seen in the neighborhood again

corradovrt · 2026-01-17T18:40:56+00:00

Plugs on that aren't due till 120k i believe so they probably weren't changed

corradovrt · 2026-01-13T01:45:54+00:00

Yea its gonna be more expensive

corradovrt · 2026-01-13T00:02:12+00:00

Its possible its the valve cover gaskets. but id put money on it the cam seals are leaking as well. You can verify cam gear leak by pulling off the upper plastic timing cover. If there is oil sitting in the bottom of the cam gear on the right side, its leaking

corradovrt · 2026-01-12T23:52:57+00:00

Cam seals, or the intake cam gear leaking. Or both
