Definitely a leak somewhere. The weird thing is that we've added more coolant and the system does not depressurize that quick. Added a dye and will drive it around. Will report back in a week or so.

Actually I take that back, it seems the pressure is increasing when turning the AC on. First pic AC off, second AC on. This tells me that the compressor is in working order?

Compressor clutch relay and actual clutch working well, compressor spinning correctly when on, and not spinning when off. The regulator pressure sensor does not move at all when engaging the compressor. Could it be that the compressor went bad? How can I check if there is no coolant leak? The...

I think everything looks normal? Is there anything here that sparks interest?

Hey all. Sorry for reviving this thread. I had this issue where our battery died, and when we restarted the vehicle back up, the AC would not blow cold air, but hot. I did try the initialization through techstream and I see the AC light up, then turn off in about 8 seconds. Am I doing it right...

I tried the cable from amazon, and it did indeed work with the UTM image. Had to use this reddit post to get it working, but worked well. Now, the AC servo reset does fire correctly it seems, but I still get hot air when asking cold. Any ideas?

It was a crappy model from amazon, but just ordered a VCX Nano. I'll update once I get both. Thanks y'all.

Awesome, thanks for the pointer. Bought a cable, hopefully I can fix it soon. Will report back for historical purposes.

Hey all, cutting to the chase. Recently had my battery die due to a long period of no use. After restarting the LX, all seemed fine except the AC. Quite hot out these last few days, tried to ask the AC for cold, but its literally blowing hot air. As in I asked for hot instead of cold hot. Any...

Apologies for reviving this thread. Was just in the shop, the mechanic wanted to make sure the wheel from LC200 would fit my LX570. We just tried the front passenger, super tight fit, no wheel cap. I'll need to order a set of Lexus wheel caps and the hub grease. Question: Do I need the LC200...

Thank you for the detailed reply. Definitely need the second set for Summer/Winter swap. The current setup with OEMs have some neat winters, not studded, but I've already used them in a heavy snowstorm and ice and they performed quite well. They should have at least 2 more seasons in them. Not...

Excellent information, thank you! It seems going down wheel diameter is a no-brainer, I'll try to find LC wheels to keep the stock look as much as possible. I'll report back here in case a future user finds this info helpful.

Hey everyone, finally found a nice LX570 with full service records. I can't believe how well this thing drives. Coming from a 3rd gen 4runner, this is night and day. Wife also approved the driving experience. Now, we live in the middle of British Columbia, so we need a second set of wheels and...

Hello everyone. I've been hunting an LX570 for a while now. I'm test driving one soon, and prior to this, I requested an inspection with a local dealer. It's a 2014 150k kms, with next to no service records. "Soon to be" in the title because if its not this one, I'll eventually find one. The...
