Lexus GX460 P2714 P0761 Collection of Info
Hey crew! I know many of us have been affected by this issue with some replacing their transmission at around 80-180k for $7-8k.
On all forums and groups this appears to be a mystery with pockets of info here and there. I’d like to collect all the info and hope others who properly fixed it WITHOUT buying a new transmission can let us know what the real issues is as normal Toyota dealers and Indy shops usually recommend replacing the solenoids and eventually the whole transmission for $7-8k.
Below is a summary of everything I have read over the past 6 months on this. Huge props to Castle CZ and Daniel Silver on the Facebook GX460 Repair group who both found a fix for $500-1500 to a FREE workaround by manual shifting.
Hope this helps folks out in our situation and eventually solves this thing!
Please post IF you have learned something new OR what the true fix was.
Cheers!
ISSUES
-First/Cold starts car will not shift from 3-4, throws codes P2714 and P0761 - Stuck Solenoids, check engine, VSC and 4LO come on. Happens in the first 5-15 minutes. Must pull over and erase codes.
TEMP FIXES
-Disconnect negative battery cable to reset codes once they flash, drives fine rest of day
-Buy a scan tool, pull over, erase codes, turn off, turn on and drives fine the rest of the day
-Tape up the dashboard and only drive 30 mph everyday
BETTER LONG TERM OPTION
-First/Cold starts - place car in manual shift in gear 1. Up shift around 2200-2600 rpms for the first 15 minutes. Then place in automatic for rest of the day. No codes or issues!
-This works! Beats pulling over everyday to reset codes and saves $8000
-This also appears to prove there is an issue with one or multiple sensors we can’t fully figure out yet
INITIALLY STEPS TO ADDRESS CODES
-Drain and fill transmission fluid
-Clean MAF and throttle body
-Unattached all electrical connectors related, clean and snugly connect back
-Replaced both speed sensors on the transmission part 894130C011
-Replace Solenoids
-Pray
-Take to a real good transmission shop to diagnose to properly fix and address
-Worst case = Manual shift the vehicle for the first 15 everyday OR spend $8000 on a new transmission
ULTIMATE FIX?
-SOME have fixed it with fluid, solenoids, MAF cleaning, throttle bottle cleaning and the Transmission Sensors replace. Others did all this and still have issues with codes and shifting
-I’ll be attempting all of the above except Solenoids to see how it goes, but manual shifting is saving me $8000 currently!
