Howdy folks, recently I’ve noticed some weird things happening with my 01 LX470. It’s a backup vehicle for me so it doesn’t get driven so much these days. For the last year or so if I leave it for more than 48 hours the battery dies and I have to jump it. Whenever I jump it my alarm goes off...

My understanding is if the abs light is on, then the system is off and what you’re hearing is the brake booster

For me it ended up being a dirty plug for the rear left wheel speed sensor.

Amazing! Thanks! Just out of curiosity, how often should the booster pump turn on while driving?

Hey guys, Im having s lon annoyig beep when I start my car in the morning. It only happens right after I press the brake pedal after not running over night. Something buzzes when I first start the car in the morning, I assume its the Master Cylinder pump. For the past two weeks, its done a good...

Thanks! Any advise how to do that? I don’t wanna just pull the sensor and spray down the ring with a cleaner. I do know that it’s for sure dirty in there

Hey guys, A few months back my 01 LX had the rear driver side caliper cease on me. I replaced it and shortly after my abs vsc trac and brake lights all turned on. I jump the t1 and ec(e1, tc?) under the hood and saw that same wheels abs sensor was faulty. I finally got around to changing it...

Bumping this, wish I would have seen it before today. Went to change a rear sensor, harder to take everything apart bc of the ebrake so I thought I'd try my luck with PB blaster. Sensor disintegrated so now I'm going to have to do the drilling and hammering, but anti seize when the new one goes...

I've been cursed with the brake/vsc trac/vsc off/abs light on my 01 470. I tried the jumper under the hood and the codes make me think I have dirty sensors. Makes sense bc I had a locked caliper when I bought the truck in march and it was grinding everything like crazy. Now my truck, like most...

Thats probably as close as I'll get. Thanks!

Thanks! I already know there are a lot of threads on the dual battery, didn't see anything about turning an existing 12v switched outlet to an always live outlet though.

Hey guys, happy 4th! I have a crazy idea, please let me know how doable it is. I want to do the mod to my 01 LX to add a second battery. When I used to run a food truck, I had a device called a "Battery Buddy" connected to the deep cycle battery for my generator. When the truck was running...

I thought what the heck, I'll play dumb and throw in one more can of freon. Let the system run for a while too see if th front cools down like the rear. Well after 10 min my truck started making blow off valve type noises and the motor was just not running smooth at all, so I plug my hose in...

Probably indeed over my head w this one, esp now cause I turned on the ac and the front is blowing hot air and the rear cool
