I have discovered as it was brought to my attention about a fault with the fans by a member on here.it’s fault code B1455 which I have checked and is on my car it’s to do with the servos on the Ac/fan unit,that’s why they don’t come on straight away might start another thread regarding this see if anybody has tackled this 🤞🏻

It’s peace of mind with a new battery.but have also noticed that they must be linked the seats and the blowers as they both come on at the same time.but thanks everyone for your help 👍🏻

So got to Lexus and bought a battery.managed to fit it and no major difference with the heated seats and fans.but at least the battery is new and isn’t going to fail at any time soon when I least expect it 😂🤣

No the fans won’t even come on at all they won’t switch on or the heated seats for a good 2 mins

Yes it has always started even when the battery was that low I haven’t yet had to jump start the car.when I first tested the battery that was the voltage it was 10.4 v.it was only the fact that I wondered why we had to wait perhaps 2mins or so for the fans to come on to demist the windscreen now the cold weather has started

Will do will give Lexus a call now and get one ordered thanks mincey

I am assuming it is the original battery and the car is a 14 plate so that be 7 years old 🤷🏻‍♂️

Haven’t seen the chart you mention but have checked the voltage.when the car has been left for a day the voltage has been 10.4 v.I have taken the battery of and charged it but the voltage still drops slowly but it drops.when it is in the car and ignition is on or in ‘ready’ mode it is 14 v.but unsure if the heated seats should still come on when the car is switched on

Sorry if this has been covered before but I have done a search and couldn’t find it.but We bought our is300h in may but never noticed that when you switch the car on in the morning you can’t put the heated seats on or the fans/windscreen demister straight away.so not sure if the 12v battery is on its way out or if this is normal 🤷🏻‍♂️.I have checked the 12v battery and the voltage varies as to how long it is left.generally the car is used daily

Do you know if same can be done for Rx400

I can see now what is missing thanks for the pic Tom 👍🏻

Thanks for the reply just had a google search with the part No and it does show up with Toyota spring.but all are showing in America.just had a quick look on eBay/amazon and nothing,so a trip to the dealers Now I know what is missing.it must have snapped coz it was all ok when I fill up last time.thanks again Colin

Just gone to fill the car up with fuel and the fuel door didn’t open.manged to get it open with the emergency pull cord in the boot.just looked outside the house now the release button is working but it’s the actual door is not springing open.i have taken a photo of the door open not sure if the spring is missing or broke or slipped of can anybody help

Nope haven’t tried doing it but have read about it.

Going back to your post glider pilot I did put techstream on are RX back a while ago and checked the battery and got a screen shot of it.

It's mostly the wife that drives the car.it only goes short distances few miles a day that's what I'm thinking it is well that's what I'm hoping it is

That is high mpg we only get around 19 mpg

And also a top of the range RX400 SE-L will still have more extras/toys than a newer top of the range Nissan also when Looking just check the the timing belt has been changed should have been changed at 100.000 miles or 10 years.just do it take the plunge and buy a rx400 you knows you want to. or we could all take a vote on it to help you decide 😂😂😂😂😂 ALL THOSE IN FAVOR RAISE A HAND 🤚 😂😂😂😂😂

Hi rr8178r Me and the wife where in a similar boat as you back in November.but we had a 2011 Lexus ct200 to part ex and had quite a few various Lexus's for many years previous anyway.i to was thinking on the lines of something more new like a juke and we test drove a diesel Qashqui.But the wife wanted to stay with lexus so we bought a 57 plate Rx400 with 89000miles on.in are eyes the Rx400 drives much better than a Quasqui.it all depends on what you are going to use it for as well.the wife uses the car the most and does the school run and using it back and for to work,always short journeys.its not going to be as economical as a juke/Qashqui we get around 260 miles to a tank but it's a different league to them as well,comfort/driving so fuel economy doesn't bother us.and like I said previously we may be slightly biased as we have had lexus before and they have always been 100% reliable but hope this helps

Now this is a very interesting topic.we have had are 400h since November and the wife asked me why it does this with the brakes as she noticed it (she drives it majority of the time).i have experienced it a few times myself and it is a very odd feeling.i have passed it of as just a RX issue as are CT never done this

So had techstream on are laptop which I bought a while ago.decided to connect it to are Rx400.can any body give advice on checking hybrid battery health on techstream.i know lexus only charge £60 for a heath check.i read elsewhere about a procedure to do to find out about the health.do any of you lovely people know if by looking at the figures you can tell of the battery health.on the plus side I didn’t find any real nasty DTCs in the car.i have uploaded a pic of some of the figures that where shown.

So can just the bushes be replaced or has the whole arm got to be changed.as looking at the prices that’s being quoted on here.think I will sell the car before replacing them 😂😂😂😅😅

Lower suspension arm ??? I recently picked up a rx400 and checked back through the mot history.and the 2 advisorys on the last mot where near side and offside front lower suspension arm pin or bush worn but not resulting in excessive movement am I looking at the same sort of bill on my next mot

Will try and find a video on you tube.i don’t mind a bit of spanner work.especially if it’s going to save me be ££££££😂😂

Thanks, Will take a look at them.its sounds similar to the IS250’s.
