UPDATE… rear left height sensor appears damaged. I’m able to adjust it with my fingers and when turning the vehicle back on it reacts to the new voltage. I suspect that’s the root of all the issues. Will update otherwise.

Some pics for reference:

Hello all - the main AHC pump in my 2010 started leaking so I bought a new one from Japan and had my local mechanic install it, along with 4 new globes (they have several customers w 100/200 series but had not worked on AHC before). I got it back end of day yesterday and looking at it now there...

Very interesting - no it did not, just the brake hazard light and I optimistically assumes it was due to the parking brake position sensor.

Hey- very late reply but thought I’d at least say hello to another NB LX owner (Rothesay). Pretty rare to see another LX, let alone around here. I know of a 2005 LC in my town but that may be the only other 100 series I’ve seen. Also I believer the first couple years came w 16” rims stock so...

99 w 150k, OME suspension with 17” rims from a later year 100 series Land Cruiser

edit to add: 99 LX w 140k miles. Mine went just before getting on the highway, although i didn’t know it at the time. Before getting on the on-ramp, I had to suddenly brake hard, which went fine but I did notice my foot go farther than usual. I though nothing of it and continued onto the...

Update- I put the manifold off until I can find a better price. I did go ahead with the rest of the exhaust. Decided to do from the cats to the tip with a kit from rock auto that I would recommend. BOSAL KIT16583992. Its a bolt on kit but for me, the flange after one of my cats was missing and...

Thanks a lot - and that was for both I assume? Just labour?

Came as a bit of a shocker, but for all I know this could be accurate? I know the manifold is really hard to access, busted bolts etc. New muffler can't be that crazy price-wise.. But wanted to check if this quote is way off. Details - I go to these guys because they service the only other 100...

Posting about my horn issue in case others are troubleshooting: My 99 lx470’s horn didn’t make a sound until I managed to get the telescoping steering working. Now that it’s working, the horn also works when the steering wheel has been brought out and then sent back in slightly. the wiring...

thanks Greg- Plug Looks fine. I read that a bad ground could cause this- after that I’ll look for continuity back to the ECU on the other pins.

I talked to the guy at NAPA today - he’d never heard of this happening. I asked if it could be an issue w the ECU or other computer, he suspected if the ECU is bad I wouldn’t be able to drive it. I also cleaned the connectors with MAF spray cleaner but that did nothing. see image for the OBD

Hello- first post but definitely not last. I picked up a 99 Lx for a great price and low kms (Canada) but among other things, the OBD tool turns on but doesn’t know what it’s connected to. It asks for make, model and VIN but after entering this, it comes up with nothing- no codes, no general...
