2001LC

Good summary. Just interjecting some thoughts. 1. You exposed the system to air and then immediately had this problem. It's *very* common for people to have a 1762 right after a service involving shock changes. The fix is to flush (active test...

Is this a joke, illustrating what not to buy! :cautious:

Wheel and tire balance, condition, PSI, etc.. is where we first look. Then bearing and FDS next.

Rust and crud build on wheel hub face and back of wheel. They need cleaning off (de-glazing) so surface matt flush. Also surface need to be flat. This wheel seem torque on. But as lip/raise from beating on wheel hub, ate into wheel. Since...

So It's very likely your shock had/have air in them, when you installed. This may be why you ran reservoir down from full. Air may trap in inner cambers of shocks. Detail matters! I was hoping for step by step detail, from you. As so often...

What design flaw ?

I have had DTC C1762, that was related to undercarriage wire harness. I posted some of the work here. Which, also had DTC C1736 accumulator. It turned out to be corrosion inside a rear wire harness housing connector block. Which was changing the...

Glade it was sorted out.

If 50 MPH vibration wasn't there, before FDS (AKA Front drive shaft, AKA CV) service. Then it is service related. But often after a service, people are paying more attention. I'd first consider tire balance. Which one must also consider the back...

When replacing the BK 1 & BK 2 switches. The capture nut/threads, are in switches. So you can just bust the heads/bolts. Get new bolts to go with new gaskets and switches. You may be able to clear codes, just before getting to test location...

I agree with Andy (@suprarx7nut) advice. Look elsewhere! You replaced the pump "due to some failure". What failure? Have you read pressures. What were the FL, FR , Rear and Accumulator pressures/Mpa?, when working? Would you have a screen...

VVVVVV I agree. I've never seen anything to indicate pedal stock is measured. Likely "fluid" a Toyota web page error. Toyota web page info and P/N, well. Suck! But by using VIN #, you're assured of correct part. I like www.partsouq.com for...

That's one service manager, I'd avoid. Where I have read in mud, of a Dealership buying a pump assembly due to bad fluid. I've never heard Toyota/Lexus corp., even hint at bad fluid or a recall. If you can prove AHC working before, the AHC...

I loathe using drive throughs in general but every once in a while, I am forced to park somewhere. Ordered this off Amazon. Works well for parking tickets and tapping the credit card. But beware: if anyone else gets in the car and this is...

I remove side molding and fill holes with 3M windshield butyl, until ready to repair and install. If I've concerns of water entry or rust. Factory Installed are never have issues. The back or top ends of side molding. Sticking up or having a...

Toyota Denso or Denso, either are great. NGK are also good IFR6T11 (Old#: IFR6A11). The biggest concern, are they legit. Many bootlegs coming out of China, which are total junk. I found the Denso TT to be a good plug, wherein China can't bootleg...

You wrote: "My question is this,., Assuming that the pump gears may have air trapped in them... How do I remove any air IN the pump gears ... crack open the outlet fitting and let it drip for a few seconds ??" Since the fluid came back/pushed...

200LC made between 07.1999-08.2000, which is only years with type A wire housing connector. So must it be the correct master.

It was Kuni Lexus parts guy, that told me they had notice to filter. When I drilled down. It was an internal notice, from shop foreman. It did not come from Lexus or Toyota. I tried to return some open plastic bottles to Toyota. My parts guys...

Your PS SW may or may not be bad, IDK! If I understand you correctly. You R&R the AHC PS SW with new OEM. So you had determined, the original had failed. Then NEW OEM PS SW, also went bad, after running a full reservoir dry. Not sure how you'd...

Yes. I know a local Lexus shop was using, after straining. But I'd be hesitant to use of/if any jell found in strainer.

To be clear: This was a new booster assy w/master (the whole brake master assy) from Toyota? P/N matched to your VIN #. Great you disconnect battery before R&R. Than there should not be any change/damage to circuitry, relays, ECU or fuses...

03-up PCV valves are hard to remove, due to factory seal on threads. If engine run on synthetic oils, most of it's life, or very frequent oil service. They usually test good, so don't need removing. These, I like to add a little SeaFoam into...

It's great you want to help others. Kudos to you! But I disagree, that running pump dry will damage the pressure switch. I've seen more than a few reservoirs & pumps run dry. For instance when globes rupture, accidental underfilling during a...

Did you disconnect battery, while working on master, ECU or for that matter any electrical plug! Not doing so, there's a risk of shorting an EUC, blowing a fuse or setting off an air bag. I'd also look very close at wires and pins. Make sure non...
