2012 LX570 paddle shift issue?

[570aus]

Hi guys
Wondering if anyone has ever had this issue before

Intermittently, mostly on a cold startup, put shifter into DRIVE and as driven along its in D - 1 (as though its in manual mode). The only way to get it back into normal drive mode is to shift it to SPORTS + - on the shifter, then back into DRIVE, then it returns to nomal D DRIVE (without a gear number shown)

Doing some testing, I dont believe the shifter itself is the cause. The reason is, if you manually shift it into + / - sports mode on the shifter itself, it shows S sports 1 gear on the cluster, not D 1
The only way I can get it to show D 1 on the cluster , is to leave it in DRIVE D, then tap on the paddle shifters. This does not show the S Sport, but rather, shows D and 1

Its as though when the issue happens (again namely on a cold startup), and i put it into DRIVE, it thinks ive tapped on one of the paddle shifters and put it into D1

Would a bad shifter cause this somehow, or is there an issue relating to the paddles somewhere?

Hi,
As I understand you are seeing D and the digit 1 together, I have never seen this. The only time I see a digit is in conjunction with S (select mode).

This occurs when either shifting the shifter left to S, or using the paddle.

Maybe ill put a video when it happens next. Its a 2012 not sure if the dash is different to other years.
But if you put the shifter into normal Drive (D) , what happens on yours if you press the plus or minus on the paddle shifter

I wish my 2013 had paddle shifters...I wonder how hard it would be...

Mine’s a 2012 as well, November build.
As soon as I touch a paddle, it goes straight to S mode, along with the gear number eg. S4. Holding the RH paddle for about 1.5 secs will return it back to D, or eventually (120 secs?) it will also auto time out and do the same.
