Alright fellas, question for you all. 2009 LC with 112k miles.
short version: Check PCS System is luminated after a hard(ish) brake on interstate. 1st shop say it's bad computer.
Longer version: I've owned it since 2017 and has been flawless up until the last 6 months or so. It rides great, looks great, feels great. Like all of you, I absolutely love my LC. It threw an error code for P2714, which led to a transmission rebuild. Never once did I notice anything at all wrong with shifting but after multiple dealerships, that's what the culprit was, somehow. Nothing comes back on LC forums for a transmission issue on this model. I regularly tow a boat and trailer for dirt-bike/4-wheeler when I go to the woods but nothing crazy. I'm not an off-road junkie and don't drive through ponds or over rocks with it. No modifications whatsoever.
Now, I have a Check PCS System light, which controls the seatbelt that tugs back at you when you slam on brakes (the 2009 doesn't have the radar). This alarm threw a few seconds after I hit the brakes somewhat hard on the interstate last week. The local Toyota shop (LexTech) is telling me it's the computer 89815-60090, which totals to about $2k to replace. I was ready to do it but the service shop flat out told me not to replace it because it's no real added value. 4lo engages no problem. It drives perfectly minus the error message. The stupid light won't go away no matter what without replacement (in no way am I implying that I want to bypass in order to mislead a buyer).
It's going to another LC specialty shop tomorrow called McIntosh Imports. Fix it if they say the same thing? Sell it with full disclosure?
ps: I picked up a F250 so will be selling this soon regardless. Just trying to figure out best way to do it.
Thanks for your feedback
