Top 20 2001 Lexus ES 300 Questions & Answers

I have a 2005 ES330! The dealership does all my repairs, but I found this. This is how I reset the security system each time after disconnecting the battery:

1. Insert master key (non-remote master) into driver's side door.
2. Remove key.
3. Insert master remote key into driver's side door.
4. Remove key.
5. Insert master key (non-remote master) into ignition.
6. Remove key.
7. Insert master remote key into ignition.
8. Remove key.

The is additional information in the link. If that doesn't work, the best place to ask would be the Club Lexus forum. https://www.google.com/search?q=2001+lexus+es300+security+reset ..

Do you go long periods of time without cranking or driving your car. If you go a week or more without running the car it can run a battery down, maybe two weeks for some cars. My daughter 08 impala will run down after 7 or 8 days so I pull the negative cable off the battery. Some cars will have radio problems if battery is disconnected that may be why they want it on a charger. The fact you drove to dealership before it died would seem to me to be a alternator problem. Did the dealership actually test for voltage at battery and alternator voltage to battery. Most cars I have had the battery will run about 12.7 or above voltage when off. While running it usually runs over 14 to 15.5 at battery, depending on vehicle if the alternator is charging.

Most likely it is a bent or seized shock absorber - remove and test by hand and replace if necessary. For best practice replace in pairs.

Go to auto zone check codes it is free, ABS is the problem could be the hub bearing sensor is bad because 99, could be the bad wire broken in a loop near the wheel, worst is ***** wire, low voltage.

just pull the damper to the right off the peg

Have the check engine light scanned for codes related to this problem first. You may have a charging system issue causing low voltage resulting in the lights flashing/stalling.

You need to find out why it shuts off. Immediately as it fails test for spark at plugs. OK? next use fuel pressure gauge to see if pressure drops just before it dies. No spark means bad coil/ignition module, crank/cam sensor. Bad fuel pressure = bad pump, filter, relay, regulator.

The problem could be: - Dirty or low engine oil - Valve timing - Oil control valve - Variable Valve Timing controller assembly - Engine Control Module (ECM) There is an oil control valve on the head that allows oil pressure to change the cam timing. If it gets dirty or sticks, you have this error.

There are so many possible causes: Worn/defective spark plugs, dirty fuel injectors, vacuum leak, ignition coil, sensor problem...Have you done any diagnostics at all? If you need further help, I’m available over the phone at https://www.6ya.com/expert/oscar_403cc49e0f00cda7

You can try this, it worked on a friend of mines ES 300 with the similar problem, Disconnect the wires from the battery clean the terminals on the battery, Now instead of connecting the cables back to the battery connect the cables to each other- While the cables are connected this way make sure that they DO NOT come in contact with ANYTHING metallic on the car. Leave the cables connected this way for at least 20 minutes, then reconnect the cables back to the battery, make sure you have your radio code before you disconnect the battery,

Why can't you put the car in gear?

Could be LED then you have to change dash!

Newer cars do not like jumping other cars,because of voltage spikes.Check any and all fuses.You might have to replace the computer.

Its very observe that this is the engine code in the system.u need a scan test and fix the problem,when u fix it after,the trac light will go away.it might be the mass air flow meter.good luck

Most likely your valve cover gaskets and the spark plug gaskets need to be replaced.. when they are old they start to deteriorate and allow oil in the spark plug.

CKECK YOUR AIR INTAKE FOR LEAKS

If the check engine light is on, you need to have the computer scanned for trouble codes to proceed. The problem would need to be fixed before you had the codes erased and the light turned off.

very simple remove the front radiator sheild it should have 6 plastic clips on it. if you dont know wat that is its the big black plastic cover right when u pop the hood. u will see a 10mm bolt on the top of the headlamp assembly remove that bolt you will also see a screw on the other side on top of the parking lamp assembly remove the srew after the screw is removed u will b able to slide out the parking assembly after that has been removed u will see one more 10mm bolt holding the headlight assembly in place remove that and the headlight assembly will slide out after it is out unplug the 3 electrical connectors from the back of the assembly remove the assembly. if u flip it over their will be four screws on the bottom of the assembly remove the four screw and take the plastic plate off u will see a steal box that is ur headlight CM remove the two electrical connectors off the box one of them goes to the headlight twist off the headlight waterproof cap and un plug.. should take you no more than 30mins

your idling must very low thats why your car shakes..check the rpm gauge and refer to your vehicles manual on proper rpm when idle..bring to the mechanic to adjust the idling rpm
