What part of the fob doesn't work? Locks, or can't start the car? Any other relevant info? Were you in techstream, battery disconnect, installing electrical accessory, etc. Would be rare for them to just suddenly be cleared from ECU memory. Have you actually tried a new battery?

Yeah, I didn't think you could pair or unpair them from the vehicle without Techstream.

no techstream. just messing w settings anyone can access through the entertainment display. car starts no problem. just locking and unlocking isnt working. at one point i manually locked all doors w the driver's door open. not sure wth i did but it wasnt anything requiring obd2. dont even have one yet. both fobs are brand new and worked fine when i first went out to the car. so it's definitely not batteries. never touched the truck's battery either.
sounds like you set your ECU to manually lock all doors instead of remotely but I know nothing about this stuff
Did you disable SmartAccess?
Looks like that is a Techstream only option on ‘22-‘23

Are near a dealer?
When I first bought our GX there were some minor issues and how-to's I didn't understand about the infotainment.
I went to my local Lexus dealer and they have a fellow who, I guess is a specialist with these displays.
He sat down with me in my vehicle and went through it all. No cost, didn't have to make an appointment or anything. Just drove up and asked for help.
So if Techstream was not being used and you possibly pushed the wrong buttons on your display, your local dealer should be able to get you out of your predicament for free and also answer any questions you may have.
Are you able to start your car to get it to them?

This seems to be the same issue and the fix was bringing it to the dealer.
FOBs in battery save mode? Although it sounds like it would defeat push button start too which you stated still works. May be worth a shot anyway.
It does sound like this may be a dealer visit

Agree, since they should come out of battery save with a key press...

It appears this issue has been occurring on other models as well
Key Fob Buttons Stopped Working - ClubLexus - Lexus Forum Discussion
IS 500 Threads - Key Fob Buttons Stopped Working - So, I was customizing lights, unlock feedback tone, headlight delay, etc., on my new IS500 and when I was done I realized the buttons on the key fob stopped working. The door sensors to unlock/lock work normally and the engine starts normally...

if you can, please post what the tech found for future ref?
I see those threads posting a couple theories.
-dont have multiple keyfobs (both for the car or other lexus products) while changing settings in the the infotainment or techstream.
-dont change too many settings at a time in the infotainment system or techstream.
Anyone know if the 22-23s run the next generation global techstream or can run oldschool techstream?
