This appaers to be a problem for all or most owners of the Lexus LX470 where the Skid controll comes on at random times grabbing the wheal with no bad road conditions? Has anyone found a answer to fix

Sorry, It's a 2000 with over 175,000 and no Lexus dealer can find the problem. However after reading many other similar complaints someone should have solved this issue... Thanks

Uneven tire wear,uneven tire pressure, wrong application tire, can cause tire grabbing with no bad road condition,with a 175,000 mile you may have gotton a alignment somewhere in its lifetime, and after the alignment, was a zero point calibration performed? To compensate for worn suspension, The zero point calibration if for the steering rate and Yaw sensor.and as for ABS sensor it generates it own signal,and it does wear out at different rate,and this is the main cause of brake grabbing,

Caution on what to put in the LX470 automatic height adjustment system. Dealer said unless correct fluid is put in the system the seals may fail. Specifically warned against break fluid. Cost to repair is over $3,000. I bought a can of the fluid at the Lexus dealer for about $26. The can was approx. 1/2 gallon.

SOURCE: Replacing the battery in a 1999 Lexus LX470

There are a few thing's, one thing is to not accidentally touch the positive terminal with the negative battery cable or touch the negative terminal with the positive battery cable when your removing or installing the battery, if one of the cable's do touch the other post it may blow some fuse's, on some vehicles with radio anti theft systems when you remove the battery the radio will lock out, if you don't have the code you'll have to take it to a service dealer to have them reset it, other than that it's pretty much straight forward. good luck.

You must have the dealer scan the system with a special tool to see what is causing this unwanted activation of the vehicle stability control system.

When do you change a timing belt on a 1998 lexus lx470 thanks brian

For most Toyota vehicles, to be safe you should change the timing and accessory belts, associated belt tensioners, thermostat, water pump, coolant, plugs, fluids, and filters every 60,000 miles.

My lexus just quit working, it will crank but die when you put it in gear, the check engine light came on with a code of VSC any ideas. Thanks.

Saw this on a Lexus user club site ---
  • Vehicle Skid Control (VSC) senses the onset of loss of lateral traction and helps the driver stay on track. Input from four wheel-speed sensors, a yaw-rate (directional) sensor, a deceleration sensor, and a steering-wheel-angle sensor is communicated to the VSC computer. The system has the ability to reduce power and to control the brake actuator. Working with both ABS and TRAC, the VSC system helps the driver to compensate for loss of lateral traction, which can cause skids and loss of vehicle control. Lexus Vehicle Skid Control (VSC) is an electronic system designed to help the driver maintain vehicle control under adverse conditions. It is not a substitute for safe driving practices. Factors including speed, road conditions and driver steering input can all affect whether VSC will be effective in preventing a loss of control.
However, it appears Lexus owners who have reported this sort of problem did not have to do anything to fix except - things like .. uncap gas cap and put it back, remove battery leads for about 10 minutes and put back, tighten air filter hose ...all wierd.

Have you checked your owner's manual ?

Look at the "rear" of the engine where it joins the transmission. Follow the positive cable from the battery to it. Cog with the 'teeth' you see engages the flywheel to start the motor.
