1996 Lexus LS 400 - Page 6 - Answered Questions & Fixed issues

You can lower your post-install failure rate if you always check to make sure there is no debris or obstructions in the trans cooler before sending the vehicle down the road. Always remove the pan and check for debris/burnt oil, on any used unit. Makes no sense to install one with symptoms of failure already there.

you just have to remove the cover around the light.

I dont think that u have a timing probing but just to be sure I would recheck the timing, (remove timing belt cover, set crank to zero and make sure both cams line up with the marks on the engine) if thats all good the u have a prob with that particular cylinder. first thing I would do is swap the coil pack from cyl 3 with another cylinder (like cyl 1) then start the car if the misfire code goes from P0303 (Cyl 3) to P0301 (Cyl 1) then u know u have a bad coil pack. try that and let me know what happens

driver side

yes, no problem

you have a defective oil pressure sending unit, when the light comes on the fuel to the engine is cut off, replace the sending unit for the oil pressure light.

Make a standard check of the car before you buy it.(running components and vital parts)
The LS400 is one great car as long as it was taken care of mechanically, you won't have any problems at all

If you can find replacement bushings, take the control arm to a machine shop and have them replaced. The bushings are pressed in and you would spend the entire weekend trying to get them out by hand.

THREW THE TRUNK RIGHT UNDER WHERE THE LIGHT IS MOUNTED THERE SHOULD BE 2 WIRES GRAB AND TURN THE PLUG AT THE END OF THE WIRE THE PLUG WITH THE BULB SHOULD POP OUT

Hi there;

Hey broken glass in the sunroof is not as big of a deal as you might think. The glass is available from Lexus & concidering where it is coming from it isn't that expensive. When you get the new piece of glass you'll see how it is bolted on. You simply rmove the trim around the glass mount with a flat pry bar & undo the mounting bolts, noting the alignment shims befor you remove the old glass mounts & be sure to put them back in where they come from. Take you time & pay close attention to those things & you will be able to change it with out an issue!
P.S.; you may also be able to find the glass from a local auto wreckers for a fraction of the dealer price.
Good Luck Hope this helps.

Hi there;
The ECT PWR switch. ECT stands for Electronicaly controled transmission. This switch controls the shift pattern of the transmission. In the PWR possition it will delay the shifts somewhat to give your car more power.
You would use this if you are in a possition where you need to accerate quickly from a light or to pass someone & need more power.

I hope this helps

if you do not have an owners manual here is a way to get one online:

check under instrument panel

what kind of battery do you have? the cold cranking amps may not be as efficient to cold start your vehicle.

You have to repalce the motor that drives the telescoping system.

The leak could be in the steering rack.

The cover should pry out with a small flat tip screw driver.

The gears on the motor are bad and the motor has to be replace.

15100-50022 is the part number and it cost between 273.00 and 455.00 The Lexus dealer should be able to order you one.
