Just put a set of Cooper Discoverer AT3 4S in size 285/70/17 (Rock Warriors) on my 2013 LX570. @gaijin - could I trouble you for the RCTIP for these tires? At 36 psi cold, the ride is great. Just wondering what the ideal is. Thank you kindly in advance!

Every time I take my 570 to the dealership, I ask to be given a 460 loaner. Otherwise I get an RX. I do like driving the 460, but after a day or two of driving it, I find myself really wishing I had my 570 back. I personally don't think I could let go of my 570 for a 460. The 460 does seem...

I'm not sure. I've got a 2013. Maybe someone with a 2016+ with knowledge of the maintenance schedule will chime in.

Thanks everyone. I went ahead and gave the dealership the go-ahead to order the part and do the work. I really appreciate everyone chiming in on this, and hopefully this thread helps someone else in the future should they experience what I have. I'll start a build thread when my build fund is...

Just off the phone with the service manager. The shop foreman was assigned the task of figuring out what the issue is. He apparently will clean corrosion when he can, but says he cannot this time. The part (I don't have the part #) is $309 and change. I'm inclined to give them the go ahead...

Update: Just heard from the dealership. They say I need a new harness that goes to the AHC pump. Apparently this harness is corroded. Is it possible to save this harness, or do I need to proceed with the repair?

Yikes! When my issues are all said and done, I'm going to drop the spare tire, pull the access panel, and check things out in greater detail (when it warms up here, that is), including inspecting the AHC fluid. I'm really intrigued by this system after spending what feels like 100 or more...

@1world1love thanks for the intel. I’m at the dealership now. Set traps under the truck in the driveway last night and found two empty (but still set) traps this morning. I really like the trap under the hood with peanut butter and sunflower seeds idea.

Thanks @lx200inAR. I spent some time reading up on how to run Techstream on a Mac last night, and am going to dig into it this weekend. Between the Veepeak with the Toyota pack, as well as Techstream, I should be able to do just about anything I need to regarding both diagnostics and modifying...

Thanks @grinchy much appreciated!! Thanks for taking the time to link to the post with the photo of the AHC connector!

Here’s the one I got last week.

I suppose I could do that. My only fear about rat poison is that they usually go someplace and die and the corpse rots someplace that you can’t find them. That’s why I went with traps baited with peanut butter.

Update: I got the ScanGuage II out of my 80 series and plugged it into the LX. It said there are no codes. Seems crazy considering there is an AHC warning on the dash. So I ran to the local auto parts store, thinking maybe my old ScanGuage II couldn't read from a newer vehicle. The guy...

Funny you mention this, as I'm starting to believe that it was the rat again...
