Top9jajamz:These parts aren't user serviceable buy new one or tokunbo A/F sensor and replace. By the way, the P1155 seem to be a Toyota specific code. Go thru this link: www.clublexus.com/forums/rx-first-generation/334638-p1150-and-p1155-help-with-codes.html |

Justtobor: For your information, the 10k light would be an aftermarket. An original new one is about 18k. Note, I am not selling. |

Hello, Just joined the club. 2004 Lexus RX330 AWD. My issue is with the car is the heater for the passenger side is faulty. the drivers side works fine both for cool and warm air via the Navigation controls, but the passenger side of the vent blows just cool air even if i raise it to the highest temp. it stills blows cool air. I have tried it both in dual mode and with out the result is still the same. What do you guys think? Aside from that the ride is lovely, smooth tranny, the ride is very comfortable not warning lights on the dash what so ever. 1 Like 1 Share |

kakameks:Check your fuses and heater core. |
Re: Club-Lexus by kakameks: 10:25am On Feb 09, 2015 |
Just googled the problem and possible culprit was the passenger side actuator (small motor that controls the door varying the amount of hot and cold air entering the passenger air duct) So does anyone have contrary ideas? Does anyone know the cost of an actuator in the Nigerian market? |
Re: Club-Lexus by kakameks: 10:41am On Feb 09, 2015 |
will check the fuses as suggested. thanks. |

Hi lomomike, the brakes of my rx300 needs double pump to hold, my mechanic tells me the fault is from ther brake master. After searching in the whole of Ladipo, he says no one matches my car (I wonder!). He comes back later telling me the only one he saw is for 13k. Is that the price? |
Re: Club-Lexus by Nobody: 8:16am On Feb 10, 2015 |
okadbest: I Dont know the actual price in market. Various markets will quote various price. Also, sellers will equally quote various prices due to where they made their consignment acquisition from. To me, the price isn't much. Ensure your mechanic installs a genuine item and the brakes works well. |
Re: Club-Lexus by okadbest(m): 8:30am On Feb 10, 2015 |
lomomike: Thanks man. He finally installed it at that price, will test it out today. Appreciate your input. God bless. 1 Like |
Re: Club-Lexus by Emperoh(m): 10:06am On Feb 10, 2015 |
So, my ES330 acts up this morning. When i took delivery of the car in Nigeria, i discovered that an after market remote and theft deterrent system was installed. Mine comes with the capacity to start the vehicle without using the key. Just at the press of a button, the car come to life. However you won't be able to drive the car. Once you step on the brake pedal to engage the auto drive, the engine dies. So once i am ready for work, before stepping out, i would normally start the car from inside my apartment. This is to allow the car warm up before i come out and drive off. So this morning, i did my usual routine. But lo, the car won't start. Actually i heard a click sound, meaning it apparently tried to start. Even though i heard the doors unlock (i usually unlock the doors before i start). Well, I eventually came out and did some check and discovered that the positive terminal on the battery head was loose. This is quite unusual. But i fitted it back firmly and the car came to life. Problem solved. and i got set to drive out. But here's where another issue cropped up. Normally at first start in the morning, You will get an RPM of as high as 1500 before it starts dropping as the engine heats up. It then hovers around 800 RPM once the engine is heated. If you engage the gear and switch on the AC, it drops further to say 600 RPM (engine revs up a bit to sustain the load). This speed is able to move the car when in Drive or Reverse (without stepping on your accelerator). I really didn't notice anything amiss until i engaged Reverse. No movement! It would normally surge forward or backwards once you leave the brake pedal. But the car stood still. If not that i felt the gear engage i would think my gear has kaput. But on powering the car it moved. My eyes went to my RPM monitor and i saw my needle hovering around 300 RPM (at idle without load). I disengaged the gear and it still didn't move beyond 350. But the car will only move when 'powered'. Long and short, i just knew my car was underpowered and this is unusual. Because of the battery terminal loosening, my codes were cleared. I drove out of the compound and stopped. Went back into my apartment to get my scanner. On starting the car again, i realised the engine won't hold power. It comes on and goes off. On the 3rd start, i just revved it and sustained it for 10 seconds and then I drove off. Got to the office 45 minutes later and ran a scan; the old O2 sensor P2241 was showing. Nothing new. As a precaution, i didn't use the AC. I kept observing to see what it was about.By the time i got to the office, with the car properly heated, idle speed was back to normal and hovered around 700rpm. I loaded the engine (AC and gear engaged). It revved up and looked normal. Everything seemed ok again. So i am just wondering, what is this all about? Anyone had any previous ideas and can help? |
Re: Club-Lexus by Nobody: 10:34am On Feb 10, 2015 |
Emperoh: Did you recently work on the car that necessitated your removal of battery terminal or it loosen and came off on its own? The reason for the drop in RPM is due to the ECU reverting to default however, have a keen observation of the car for a week. On a side note, i'd advice against use of Aftermarket remote starter system. I dont feel confident with them. |
Re: Club-Lexus by Emperoh(m): 10:49am On Feb 10, 2015 |
lomomike: The last time i had anything to do with the battery was May 2014, when i just took delivery. The battery that came with it went bad and i bought the current one running on the car. Since then, nothing has taken me anywhere near the battery. I also haven't worked on the car. I plan on serving the car soonest; say in April. I plan to change the plugs and also the gear oil too. I notice slight hesitation when i step down on the gas pedal for more speed. Not sure if i can link this to the plugs though. But the car is just, just slightly sluggish. How long should i use the gear oil? This will be my 3rd oil change since i bought the car and i haven't changed the gear oil alongside. What are your thoughts? Mileage is currently 127605. |
Re: Club-Lexus by Nobody: 11:04am On Feb 10, 2015 |
Emperoh: if you dont know where to get 5W30 oil, just holla at me, i'll get it for you. As for your ATF, i feel you should check to confirm if its Toyota Genuine ATF type T-IV or Toyota WS oil. I can also get them if you dont mind. Really, id recommend To anyone personally to change ATF every 30,000miles. If you can get a very good scanner which can scan more functions such as ECT-s and MAF/MAP. |
Re: Club-Lexus by Emperoh(m): 11:15am On Feb 10, 2015 |
lomomike: i think it is the genuine ATF. It is what came with the car from the US. I started using the car at 117k miles. Don't worry i have the oil and gear oil covered. My car recommends 5W20. My scanner is a Creader 123 and scans ECT, SRS and Tranny. Now for 5W20 and 30, do i still do change at 5k miles? Recall the discussion on when to change synthetic oil? Which is said to last longer. |
Re: Club-Lexus by eniyanpataki: 11:23am On Feb 10, 2015 |
lomomike: Hello Lokomike, i need the SAE 5W-30. Are you in PH? |
Re: Club-Lexus by Nobody: 11:26am On Feb 10, 2015 |
Emperoh: Im not too sure, but whats the engine type you have? Is it not 3MZ-FE? If youre using 5W30, its 5,000miles or 6months which ever comes 1st. |
Re: Club-Lexus by Nobody: 11:32am On Feb 10, 2015 |
eniyanpataki: Bro, im in Ibadan at the moment i just got to ibadan from Abuja days ago. However, if youre not in a hurry, when i get back to Abuja next week, i can send it thru bus transporters heading to Lagos. If you like Coastal 5W30 SN let me know. |
Re: Club-Lexus by Emperoh(m): 4:13pm On Feb 10, 2015 |
lomomike: It is 3MZ-FE. . . . .3.3 Litre engine. I bet it will be the same for the 5W20. So i should hit 5000 miles in another 2 weeks or 1 full tank of fuel and a half. (65 litres of fuel give me an average of 330 miles of driving). What do you think about the plugs? |
Re: Club-Lexus by Marpol: 4:15pm On Feb 10, 2015 |
Hi house, please what can anyone tell me about Lexus GX470? |
Re: Club-Lexus by Fhemmmy: 4:25pm On Feb 10, 2015 |
Marpol: Pro: Power, enough power under the hood that will surely make you feel good Comfort of driving, they handle super well and you wont regret having one They are super reliable Flashy and you could paint town with it Luxury at its best lastly, if you maintain it well, they could last forever |
Re: Club-Lexus by Fhemmmy: 4:27pm On Feb 10, 2015 |
Marpol: Con: You cant cut corner with the parts, make sure you use the original parts for it Be watchful of the gas used to make sure that you dont stall your engine Please use experienced mechanic for it Dont be cheap with maintenance These care not really cons but advice to make the ride last forever. |
Re: Club-Lexus by Nobody: 5:29pm On Feb 10, 2015 |
Emperoh: 65 litres of fuel can't get you an average of 330miles of driving, rather it can get you 330kilometres (206miles) of driving. For your 3MZ-FE 3.3L V6 which is used in ES330, 1S330, GS330, RX330, Highlander 3.3LV6 04-07, Camry 04-06. Toyota/Lexus recommends Multigrade SAE 5W30 oil. Recommended sparkplugs are: DENSO SK20R11 or NGK IFR6A11 |
Re: Club-Lexus by Emperoh(m): 5:41pm On Feb 10, 2015 |
What's the duration of change, the spark plugs? |
Re: Club-Lexus by Nobody: 6:03pm On Feb 10, 2015 |
Marpol: Built like a tank. You can go to negreb desert, mohave desert, sahara desert, swamp forest and mangroove forest with it and, climb zuma rocks, and Aso rocks yet, come home, wash it, and go for a romantic candle lit dinner with madam and she wont know you went haywire cos the truck compliments your purple labelled bowtie. The V8 is 280bhp i think due to the addition of VVT-i in this year model. Previous year model were 230bhp. But its got good torque, and decent acceleration of 8.1 secs for a heavy body on frame truck. If you love offroading, go thru these spec data: Water Fording depth 700mm Max (whearas a GL and a G class has 60mm Max fording depth, i watched a youtube Video of a 2014 model Toyota Landcruiser in which the driver claimed it was stock, yet it will do 100mm ford depth 4WD system: AWD with selectable modes Angle of: (degrees) Approach 30-31 Departure 25-29 Minimum ground clearance 210mm Its got KDSS/Airs which is basically an Air Suspension which can lower/kneel the rear to act like a camel for easy loading and offloading of cargos, and easy entry/exit of occupants. And also vary the height of the vehicle at certain speed it also modulates the pressures of the struts to minimize body rolls when going round corners CONs: Airs suspensions are expensive to fix when they go bad, people replace theirs with spring coilovers, V8 mighty fuel guzzler. Rev am, 10litre disappear. Its not in anyway pleasant to drive if you're a hardcore driver. You end up flippin it due to its CofG. Complicated electronic systems. Mechos are scared of that truck, children get nightmares, police and drug law guys might think they've got a new "friend in da block" (na play i dey play o) 1 Like
