Guys I have this issue with my lexus es 350 2013.

When I got the car, whenever I park it, it will automatically fold, and automatically open when I start the engine. But after my car battery was changed, it stopped doing so. I've googled all I could there seems to be a missing button in my car that's supposed to be there. I read somewhere that only Japanese lexus comes with the reset button.


A mechanic said he knows a guy that could reset it, but I haven't met him....

Also my radiator is leaking (I can't tell how come) I load water into it every morning now (which wasn't so before. My mechanic has advice me to buy a new one,. My question is can't be repaired?


Soldering radiator is a waste of time cos it will still leak. Get a new one

Hello guys
I have a Lexus rx350 2011
The check engine light and traction control light are on.

When I scanned it I got the following codes
P043E, P043F, P2401, P2402 and P2419
Checked online and saw it had something to do with EVAP emissions.
How can I fix this ?

Secondly, anytime I go over rough roads or bumps I hear a very annoying rattling noise in my wheels.
I also hear some squeaky sounds at the front of the car sometimes, the squeaky sounds come and go, mostly comes after driving fast on rough/ uneven roads

Thirdly, I think my car consumes a lot of fuel.
I fill up to about 70Litres and this lasts me for about 245miles
Mostly city driving

How do I fix all this @everyone ?

Reset it. Check google or YouTube.

1. Turn the ignition KEy to position one

2. Press the dashboard button and hold

3. Turn the ignition key to position two and wait for the maintenance required to clear off

4. Start the car by turning ignition to position 3

Good morning all. My first post here. I have a 2011 GS 350, I’m trying to battle all my dashboard lights one by one. I had check engine, scanned and saw exhaust efficiency threshold low P0420 (I checked my catalyst, I no get (nice one Lagos dealers). I put catalyst, but as they jack my car to change catalyst LADIPO Mech damage stabilizer linkage con tell me if noise too much we can remove it 🙄. The next one I saw was a P0172 system too rich, plus my car misfired one time and I felt a power drop( na total ikate fuel do am). My mechanic changed a coil for a spark plug. Everything moving fine again. Now I’m on AFS light blinking. This one I’m very confused, who can help. Can anyone recommend a good mechanic in LADIPO to fix my linkage. Thank you

Scan the AFS (Headlamp) system and post codes here.
If you can’t scan headlamp, scan Body computer I believe you’d get the code.
Re: Club-Lexus by boykris2: 10:53am On Jun 16, 2023
Thank you, I use torque pro and a Bluetooth scanner to scan, I’ve never see any afs code. Also my mechanic said linkage is fine but it’s this thing that is vibrating. Pls what is this. It’s vibrating the driver side front leg

Re: Club-Lexus by boykris2: 2:09pm On Jun 16, 2023
Finally found out what's it's called. It's the ride height level sensor. It confused me because my mechanic was saying it's for air suspension cars. But I think it's also connected to the AFS in some way. I sha removed it. Let AFS blink on

The timing isn't correct, your chain may have stretched or vvti. A lot of variable are involved here and it's a sensitive job for highly skilled technicians. Locate a skilled technician to check the timing.

I think this is related to opened engine and timing setting

The Upstram O2 sensor and down stream O2 sensor behind the radiator should be checked and replaced.
