2002 Lexus IS 300 - Page 2 - Answered Questions & Fixed issues

first, try smacking the hood at one of the front corners while someone else pulls the release handle. or even after you've pulled on it. if that works, once open, adjust and lubricate the hood latch assembly. if it still won't open, and it's the cable and not the latch you'll have to replace it anyway, so instead of removing the grill, cut the cable behind the pull lever under the dash where you can reach it. then skin the outer cable insulation away from the actual steel cable exposing an inch or two of it. then holding the insulation and plastic housing with pliers, grab the steel cable itself with pliers and pull it to open the hood. then replace the cable. the further you can reach up under the panel the better your chances of getting past the broken part of the cable and avoid removing the grill. you might also be able to gain access from up under the car if you're lucky.

I take it the wiring has been ripped off from the underside to the sensor. You will just have to follow the wiring from the connector under the carpet under the passenger seat inside the car to where it exits to the exhaust. Fit the new sensor with an open ended spanner, carefully feed the wires/plug back through to the connector. The oxygen sensor has four wires. Two, usually grey, are to supply the sensor heater with power, they only work when hot so they have internal heaters. The other two wires are the signal feeds back to the ECU that report on oxygen levels.

Hey,
take a look at www.airbagmodul.com

They're working in Airbag-Simulators and Occupancy Sensor-Simulators.

Well I would recommend to change them after 25,000-30,000 miles and it should cost around $150.00-$200.00 parts and labor.

what size motor please

Quite simply, if there is a drain plug, then loosen it and wait till all the fluid has come out.If there is not a drain plug, than you have to loosen all the pan bolts in a rotational motion and leave the very front ones in as you remove the rest the fluid will start dripping around the rear of the pan. Use a large pan to collect the fluid, an old refridgerator bottom drawer works quite well. Now the reason for leaving the front bolts in but loose is all the fluid will come out to the rear instead of flowing down your arms to the elbow which I find quite uncomfortable. Once the fluid slows down remove the remaing bolts and keep track of the direction of the pan as it comes off. Pour the rest of the fluid from the tranny pan into your collector. Look at the small magnet stuck to the bottom of the pan, there will be a small amount of metal filings, this is normal. Clean the pan and the magnet. Some filters are screwed in and others pop off of a rubber grommet. You'll know what you've got when you see it. Again keep an eye on the position of the filter as you remove it. Put the new filter in, place the gasket on the pan and keep it in place with four or six bolts until you get it started back in place.Then just tighten them in a military rotation(ask a friend if you don't know what this means. I can't type any longer. Fill iyt with the specified amount of fluid from your specs in the owners manual. Good luck,Dana

It sounds like the window has jumped the track and is riding up the outside of the track. As the window moves up, it forces it to a flatter angle and "tips" it inward. No real solution other than removing the inner door panel and setting things straight. While it's open, check for broken pieces, missing screws, etc.

Your low beam is a HID bulb, number D2R, and your high beam is a halogen 9005 bulb

Check with Autozone or O'reillys to name a few. There is such a thing as a captive part (dealer only). Another alternative is the Salvage yard. The latter is really easier than you would think, most of the time they have already pulled the part, will pull the part, or you can do it and learn where it is and how to remove it. In general you may need a special socket for O2 sensors.
As part of the Emisson devices it would have a longer warranty, something like 8 years and 100,000 miles. Check owners manual, call Corporate customer service.

Do you have a HID ?
If you have just regular Halogen lamp then here is the problem:
The contact from the plug to the bulb got corroded over time. Clean out the contact of the plug is difficult, but cleaning the prong sot the bulbs is feasible. After clean them put the bulb from the right to the left to see the problem revesed.
My recommendation is to replace both the bulbs. It has been 7 years, and they have not been changed, it time to replace even they are still glowing. The reason to replace to have new clean contact less resistance to have a steady current, avoiding the on and off situation.

2002 SEE THE DEALER
OR CALL POP-A-LOCK

its your valve cover gasket. they get hot and craked letting oil in.GOOD LOOK!

try to look inside the slot there may be another cd that is stuck inside. I have seen this happen . The stuck cd has to be removed.

Yes, there are aftermarket chimes, and there is also a battery level shutoff, when voltage under 8V is sensed, it will stop the battery from working until you put a key in the ignition.
The IS 300 should have a lights on chime minimally. Is the radio a factory one?

P0440 EVAP Control System Malfunction Possible Causes Setting Conditions

• Charcoal canister is clogged, loaded with fuel or with moisture
• Fuel filler cap missing, loose (not tightened) or the wrong part
• Fuel tank over-fill check valve cracked or damaged
• Fuel tank seal leaking, fuel tank cracked or damaged/leaking
• Fuel vapor hoses/tubes blocked or restricted, or fuel vapor control valve tube or fuel vapor vent valve assembly blocked
• Vacuum hose or tubing cracked, damaged or disconnected
• Vapor Pressure sensor incorrectly installed
• PCM has failed

Engine started cold (ECT sensor signal less 86�F), engine runtime over 20 minutes in closed loop, vehicle driven to a speed of 55-60 mph, and the PCM detected the fuel tank pressure indicated the same value as the atmospheric pressure in the EVAP Monitor test.
This code sets in 2 Trip(s).First I would try making sure the gas cap is tight. You need to give it 2 trips before it may reset. The other choice would be to replace it, Cheaper than spending money on a professional.

u need a security code to turn the radio back on go to dealer or buy a chiltons book 4 your car

Where is my 2001 Lexus is300 coolant sensor located at can write at [email protected] o can text 414-856-6955 I'll appreciate

Car not starting or turning over indicates towards multiple possibilities. It can be issue with battery or weak battery. But if battery checks out ok, then it can be starter issue or faulty alternator or problem with low fuel pressure or no spark at spark plugs due to dirty spark plugs or faulty ignition coil or injectors getting cracked or dirty and needs to be cleaned.

To confirm the problem, the basic troubleshooting is required.

From start to end troubleshooting these problems I suggest you to check the help link below and follow its procedure: -----

Mostly all types of car no start problems are discussed here with solutions:---

The code is for a failed throttle control motor or circuit.You might check to see if the throttle control is plugged in, otherwise you may need a shop manual to test the component.

the lights burned out try taking it apart and taping on it might just be loose but it just might be shot. u will need to buy a new panel or get on a junk yard not hard to replace
