Hello All,
I recently purchased a 2003 LX470 and have been trying to figure out a few quirks. Overall the truck seems great, but I have a few codes that I pulled with Techstream and some behavior that I am not able to explain. First the codes:

Engine - B2799
ABS/VSC/TRAC - C0210, C1223, C1224
Body - B1222

Now the behaviors:
Windows - When I press and hold unlock on the remote, I expect for the windows to roll down. Instead, after about three seconds, I just get a beep. I tried to use the key in the driver side door (expecting the windows to go up and down) and nothing happens.

Mirrors - For some reason, the passenger side mirror does not move with the memory seats nor does it dip when I put the truck in reverse. The mirror does move with the adjustment control, so I know the motors work.

Wipers - The wipers do not always return to their normal parked position. The often stop about 10 degrees up from their normal parked position. Sometimes they will try to go well past their parked position and slam into the lower edge of the windshield. I'm not sure if this is something physical or electrical.

I don't have any indicator on the dash related to the ABS errors, so I'm not sure what's going on there.
Any insight into what to check would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks,
Bill
 
None of those codes are critical from a safety perspective and they may be years old so I'd clear them and investigate whatever reoccurs after a few days.

Windows down and sunroof open on holding the unlock button can be enabled/disabled as a "personalized setting". Go into techstream and look in the body electrical utility screens for settings like these. You can also change your headlights off delay, door locking, DRLs, wiper delays, lock/unlock chirp volume, cabin lighting delays and a few more things.

Misbehaving mirror and wiper park - can't really offer anything constructive here, maybe just the vagaries of a 12 year old vehicle? Worn switching/sensors in the wiper gear box or drive possibly? Try squirting some white lithium based spray lube in behind the mirror to see if it frees up the drives at all.
