GX - 2nd Gen (2010-2023) - #Multi #Terrain #Select #MTS install on 2017 GX 460 Luxury - Thank you to all in the DAC vs CC forum for all the post and information on installing the multi terrain select module. I purchased the 859A1-60040 from lexuspartsnow.com it fits the 2017 GX 460 luxury with...
Crawl control is probably the best thing you could do if you go offroad. I watched a YouTube video where a guy who runs an off-road vehicle building shop spent 60k to build an old lexus with 4runner and Tacoma front end parts and 35s with lockers. After he mentioned the cost he jokingly mentioned the lockers were a waste. He said he never used the lockers and crawl control works just as good. At the end the guy interviewing him asked if he would have done anything different and he said he wouldn't have put in front and rear lockers since it already drives like it has them and he never used them. It was a offroading channel.
From that point on my goal was crawl control in a Lexus. since my wife wanted a luxury SUV and I wasn't going to let her get junk BMW, Mercedes, or Acura. Acura and Honda are being sued in Europe bc their 4x4 options can't even drive the car off of dino rollers in 4WD. And BMW and Mercedes need a new head gasket every 50k. I wanted a Jeep for offroading, she wanted quiet and reliable and luxury. Now we have a Lexus w a lift, 33" tires, and it's capable to actually really go offroading. If you don't want to go to a park or trail then don't spend the $500
If you do then there is a link in the OP to make the switch your self, but you still need the $190 computer/module.
GX - 2nd Gen (2010-2023) - I added #Crawl #Control using simple switches - Thanks to Acrad for inspiring me to do this instead of another switch swap, in addition to answering my many questions related to the mod. I was ready to order a combo switch assy and he asked about using simple switches...

Yep Motorhead Japan emailed me the quote for the module and also verified they can't get the switch. bc of covid they said it was sea shipping only so I spent the extra money to fix it this month.
A common failure point is forgetting to hit the Crawl ON/OFF button at the end of Zero Point before exiting process in TS. This lets vehicle know it is equipped with crawl.
Does anyone know what category the zero point calibration is in under in techstream. I'm hoping to find directions, this link isn't working, it's just a blank pdf. I'm not interested in doing the paperclip methods thanks tho
Does it have a different name in techstream?
I can't find a video or details on how to do it.
I just don't want to spend 30 minutes trying to find it in the program in the hot summer sun and run the battery dead and forget to hit the button at the end like in the quote or miss some other detail

In on position not running,
I went to abs/vsc/trac, reset memory, utility, next next, it said to turn it off then wait 3 seconds then turn it back on. So I hit the crawl button, hit off, waited 3, turned on, foot on pedal then started
Then I did a health check then did the above again. And nothing. I can go into MTS but can't get to the crawl menu when I hit the button. I must be messing something up
These should be added to the Original Post and a link to the paperclip method for others down the road. Just so you don't have to read 13 pages to get to this techstream solve. Best mod ever
I am running with MTS (2017 GX Premium) with no crawl control. MTS has worked well for off road (moderate trails, moguls, snow, etc.).
Only used DAC/Downhill assist a few times on steeper declines (and once on a steep incline, but in reverse back down the hill, just testing it's functionality) and it worked well too. If I ever get to going off road on the larger rocks/boulders, may add crawl control, since it works uphill, but it may be a while since my GX is my daily driver (80% on road).
not much information from oemvehicleparts about my shipment after a week or so. Not much response either.
Wonder if they are still operating. Purchased with discount listed here. Wonder if they are unable to ship
