One unrelated task I would do in this situation is to purchase some wire armor from McMaster-Carr((McMaster-Carr - https://www.mcmaster.com/catalog/130/1009/8796T21) and apply it to the tag ends of wires that lead to the knock sensors. This is a common feeding ground for rodents that like the...

I had the compressor clutch relay fail on my 2016 LC several years ago--see my posting entitled A/C Clutch Relay or something like that.

Email sent to your website with photo of the fob--I think I purchased it about two years ago. Thank you for your consideration!

Just some feedback from a customer with a 2016 version of the key fob. I seem to get more "false" panic incidents with the aftermarket fob--can't recall any with the factory fob. The panic button is protected only on three sides which I think allows the accidental incidents. I carry the fob...

I had to replace this relay on my 2016 LC. You will find that it is inordinately expensive compared to the other Denso relays next to it that appear identical in form and function. The only reason I could come up with is that maybe the contacts are silver plated--they do carry quite a bit of...

I completed the radiator replacement on my 2016 LC about a month ago with the assistance of a friend in lifting the old one out and dropping the new one in. It helps to have a person beneath the vehicle to move the fan shroud out of the way of the transmission cooler connections and the lower...

Thanks for all the helpful comments. The windshield carries the Toyota name in the lower driver's side corner so I think it is the original. I rapped on the cowl plastic and poked around, but nothing seems loose. While doing so, I did notice that the windshield end of the long plastic piece...

Just got back from 4,000 mile drive from WI to AZ and return in our 2016 LC. When crossing the TX panhandle at around 65-70 mph(two lane highway) with a 30mph crosswind perpindicular to our direction of travel, we get a sound from the windshield that sounds like radio static(Audio is off) or...

To close the loop on this issue, the SRS light finally came on "permanently", as opposed to intermittently, and the OBD reader showed a "current", as opposed to historical, B1856 fault. So I reexamined the resistor and harness that I had installed after removing the second row seats. For those...

To update this thread, I first bought a new battery from the Toyota parts dept--TruStart brand that is apparently provided by Toyota to its dealerships. Competetively priced($159) with other offerings of size 27F batteries, and there are a lot of Toyota dealerships around to handle warranty...

1998 LC bought new, traded it with 225,000 miles for CPO 2016 LC(8,000 miles) in 2017. 1983 Mercedes 300TD purchased new and still driving it(stored in winter) with 217,000 miles. 1971 BMW R60/5 motorcycle bought used in 1973--still riding it, but no more 500 mile days.

Thank you for the helpful comments. Yes, the seat belt recall work was done shortly after I purchased the LC as a CPO in 2017. Good point about the dealer not wanting to work on the vehicle air bag system with the second row seats removed. Not an unreasonable position for them to take given the...

This past summer I have noticed the red air bag warning light remains illuminated after starting the vehicle. Usually, the first start of the day is fine, but subsequent starts, especially in warmer weather, seem to cause it to remain illuminated. But it is intermittent and now that cooler...

Thank you. That is exactly the information I was looking for.

Can the serpentine accessory drive belt on the 200 series(2016) be replaced by accessing it from under the hood(rather than from below, requiring removal of the protection panels), maybe requiring removal of the coolant overflow container? I did it several times on my 100 series and it was a...
