If there are no symptoms, the simplest thing to do is to reset the code and see if it comes back.

If there are symptoms such as the engine is stumbling or hesitating, check all wiring and connectors that lead to the cylinders (i.e. spark plugs). Depending on how long the ignition components have been in the car, it may be a good idea to replace them as part of your regular maintenance schedule. I would suggest spark plugs - check the coils (a.k.a. coil packs) on the V6 engine. Check the fuel injector for that cylinder....I hope this helps.

Hi.

The message is referring to the Nav. System DVD located in the trunk. The problem is often caused by a defective DVD unit.

Try first disconnecting battery terminals for two minutes. Make sure that you have car stereo anti-theft code if needed.

If that does not help reach the DVD unit in the trunk, eject and load back the disk inside the player and check the data connection cable to the player. Here a web page explaining how to reach the player. I quote:

"Location

The DVD based navigation system is located in the trunk under the mat on the passenger side of the vehicle. It is securely mounted under the mat and deck. It is about the size and shape of a self enclosed after-market radio. It sole purpose is to provide the Navigation information for the vehicle.

STEP 1.[/b]

Remove the trunk mat completely from the vehicle and set aside. Lift the decking using the handle exposing the spare tire. Completely remove from the vehicle and set aside.

STEP 2
Remove the deck mounting tack using a small bladed screwdriver and lift up. Set aside for replacement. Remove the side decking exposing the DVD unit.

STEP 3
The DVD unit is mounted securely in place using 2 bolts on either side. Both of these must be removed using an 8mm socket or a Philips screwdriver. Set the aside for re-installation. (Be careful not to drop them down into the cavities surrounding the unit. It looks dark down there and you might not get them back)

STEP 4.[/b]
Carefully lift the front edge of the DVD unit up from its holder about 1".
DO NOT REMOVE THE UNIT COMPLETELY.

[b]STEP 5
START THE VEHICLE. It must be running to provide power to the unit. Remove the old DVD from the unit using the OPEN button by pushing in and sliding to the left. This will reject the old DVD currently installed in the unit. The Navigation screen will display a message indicating there is not disk installed. Insert the new updated DVD into the slot on the unit. Slide the OPEN button back to the right into its original position. The navigation screen will display a message indicating the system is loading the new data.

[b]STEP 6
• Carefully push the unit back down in its mount. Replace the 2 bolts
• Replace the side deck and mounting tack
• Replace the spare tire deck and carpet mat."

If ejecting the disk does not do the job, before replacing the DVD unit you can try obtaining a replacement map disk from the Lexus dealer.

O um I would take it to the shop. I did one once, not fun. It is not a job for the DIY guy. No offense but it is hard, time consuming, and if u do it wrong you can blow the engine. That being said, If you want to do it yourself still, get a chilltion or hynes book. It will tell you there and u will have all the torq specs u are going to need good luck

check fuses to your fuse box and relay with a tester light and it should take care your problem.

it is most likely a short somewhere with the wires

There is nothing called a pump rotor in this transmission pump.It has a gear type pump with and inner and outer gear.You would need to remove the pump from the front of transmission to perform this repair(suspicious that it would need pump gears and not have major internal transmission damage, never seen that in 25 years of rebuilding)but would not have to completely disassemble transmission.The filter can replaced by removing pan on bottom of transmission and the torque converter fits into the pump at the front of transmission.You would need to remove transmission from the car to install torque converter.Are you trying to fix a problem or understand a repair that has already been preformed?Let me know if I can help.Good Luck!

Make sure the emergency light is not engaged. I would say you need to check all of your breaks and components, such as the calipers.

Thanks for the vote, and good luck!

The inside handle or the outside? to get the outside handle off you need to remove the inside door panel. It's wise to remove this panel in a warm place as the plastic parts and clips ten to break instead of pop apart as they don't bend well when cold. With the panel removed theirs a plastic seal that can be removed and you can see inside the door. looking at the handle from the back side thier'll be nuts holding it on. If you have the replacement handle you'll see the atteching points on it. If the handles broken thiers no point in removeing it until a new handle is in hand. If your not sure the handle is broken but need to remove it to find out, it's wise to it completly badck together even if it's not fixed so all the parts are where they belong not laying around to get lost or damaged.

I had the same problem, it was solved by disconnect the battery. the car will do checking on all system including the CD changer, then it worked for me.

Good luck
