Have you made sure that the fluid is full? Slow shift can also be caused by low fluid pressure

RTM https://eautorepair.net/Marketing/Default.asp most plugs have pin counts not the same and are keyed did you know that? look first then match it up. and wire colors both sides, same. always do photo on jobs this hard. or tag each pair. 1a,1b, 2a,2b and on keeping 50 cables in the head is never easy, and near deity like if can.

OXY SENSOR IS SHORTED(was)AF (named by Lexus oddly)THE FUSE BLOWS IF SHORTED DID IT? 25amps blew up?AND WHICH RELAY, EXACTLY.both p1135/55 means , B1S1 and B2S1 both front sensor heaters are dead but gee wiz with relay pulled sure they are. dead.AF heater relay runs both those 2 front O2 sensorsand if either of the 2 short. fuse marked AF heater fuse blows 25AMPSThe heaters are spec at 5 ohms so each heater uses 3amps 6 total paired, and 25amp fuse does not blow.but if the 2 heaters B1S1 and B2S1, short the fuse blows. so bad 02 front sensor. or wires to them melted or cut in halfwires on O2 , with clamps missing allow wires to touch 2000f header pipes(exhaust ) and melt and burn up, and then short.or even burn open.or put in the wrong 2 front 02 sensors or used the cheap ones$20 that are hand wired, and wired up wrong.. (done lots but not wrong yet, I'm careful) I run BOSCH only, and or OEM fitand easy to pop in, the Bosch web site has the Ecatalog to get the correct ones. from them.

You need to get the repairs to the fuel pressure regulator re-checked. Fuel from the Exhaust is a SERIOUS issue. You also need to check the gas tank as well. A leaking tank can look like a leak from the exhaust.

This sounds deeper than a fuse. If you have access to a professional scan tool, monitor the voltage of the sensor in question. If there is no movement, or choppy movement, especially upon acceleration. If there is any discrepancy, replace the sensor. If you do not have access to a professional scan tool, check for power and ground at the connector using a DMM (Digital Multimeter). Once those are verified, you will need to backprobe the connector while connected to the sensor, and verify that the signal wire is giving the proper voltage. This, unfortunately, will require a lab scope, which most people outside of a shop would not have access to. It only gets more technical from there, which will most likely require some diagnostic time at a professional shop.

The most common causes of a VSC light are a faulty accelerator pedal, faulty throttle body, faulty ABS sensors, or a faulty mass airflow sensor. You need to get an OBD scan tool and tead the codes.

Did you disconnect the battery? Did you reset the antitheft system?

routing of what no told 3000 + parts on a car , we can not guess what's wrong, or up.

You can remove the back seat and reach through to the latch from the inside.

It is located on the exhaust manifold and you will need a ratchet and a oxygen sensor socket in order to replace it.

A trunk lid is secured into position using a latch and striker similar to those used for the hood and doors. The striker is a U-shaped piece of metal fixed to the trunk lid. The latch is a mechanism that hooks around striker and holds it tightly until the latch release lever is pulled. Latch release levers can be actuated electronically via a solenoid and switch or mechanically via a cable and handle. The most common failure item with electronic systems is the solenoid actuator which is typically integrated into the latch itself. For manual release systems the most common failure items is the cable which tends to snap internally, especially if there is a problem with the latch such as binding. Accessing the trunk area to replace the necessary parts can be tricky if the trunk won't open; in these cases I'd recommend trying to open the trunk with the key (if it has a lock cylinder) otherwise the back seats will need to be laid down or removed in order to get to gain access.

In a lot of those cars you have to remove the engine mount bolts and jack up the engine a little bit to get the clearance needed to remove the pan. Check you tube

If yours is fitted with the 4.5 litre 'inline' straight 6 engine, cylinder number 6 is easy to find. Stand with the belts and pulleys nearest to you and the Transmission (Gearbox) furthest away from you. Number ONE is nearest to you then number 2 and so on. That means Number 6 is the cylinder furthest away from you.

Question edited for clarity. We are a North American website. .... and a British girl at that :>D Your vehicle looks like my 2005 ES330. I am British but live in Canada. I was thinking there might be a fuse but I don't see one https://knigaproavto.ru/shemy/en/lexus/is/746-2006-2013-lexus-is-250-300-350-220d-fuse-box-diagram.html Then I remembered... I think you will find there is a button in the glove box that disconnects the power to the boot open button by the driver's knee.. Another thought is that the boot rubber seals really stick tight. When you use the key and hear the click, pull up really hard. Finally, the rear seat centre armrest has access to the boot on mine. Shine a torch in there and pull the emergency release lever on the underside of the boot lid. You may have to fashion a loop of rope on the end of a wooden dowel to reach it, or open out a wire hanger.

That type of job is a job for the dealership. You need the $6,000 scan tool computer to program it all after fitting it. It is not a DIY at home job. Or if you want to cut costs, go to a local auto-electrician. On a GX-470, I wouldn't as they are so technology filled!

Take it to the dealership. They will have a way to pull the catch by removing the underskirt protection panels and using a tool to pull it from down below, or even remove the two bolts using long socket set extensions and universal joints. https://www.lexuspartsnow.com/parts/lexus-lock-assy-hood~53510-33240.html ..

Here is a testing video, but the easiest way is to borrow an adjacent relay. I have a 2005, ES330 :>D https://www.google.com/search?q=1997+Lexus+ES300+test+fuel+pump+relay ..
