New Lexus Ls400 Owner
steve2006 replied to mboyg1's topic in Lexus LS400 / Lexus LS430 / LS460 / LS600 / Toyota Celsior Club
Hello, I'm based in the UK and own 2 1994 Celsiors ( did have a 1997 one as well until recently) Sorry can't help with parts in Australia. -
Hi Guys

If I remember correctly there is no seal as such, the windscreen is bonded to the frame so after removal it needs to be professionally refitted. -
Favourite is the ignition coil mounted down the passenger side of the engine opposite the battery tray, also check the routing of the wire from the coil to the distributor cap as if not fitted correctly it can be damaged by the covers. If you are planning on replacing all the ignition components it should sort the problem. Another indication of a failed coil is the cats will glow red after a short drive, don't leave things too long as they will suffer damage.

Hi

There was a fantastic Toyota/Lexus database online that included all part numbers and exploded diagrams including the Celsior and Soarer which had to be removed after Toyota threatened legal action. -
Overdrive Warning Light
steve2006 replied to Bpm72's topic in Lexus LS400 / Lexus LS430 / LS460 / LS600 / Toyota Celsior Club
You don't mention your model year but if your car is pre October 1994 you can pull the transmission codes yourself, see link below. If it is post October 1994 you need an OBDII code reader. http://www.lexls.com/tutorials/intro/codereading.html -
I've never heard of one completely missing before! I have some spare ones and would have sent you one for the cost of the postage if you had asked. Yes the seats are plug and play, I don't know if the velour seats you have in at the moment are heated and even some of the leather ones aren't ( mine aren't) but the rest of the plugs and sockets should match straight up. I would disconnect the battery before disconnecting the plugs under the seat as there are airbag detectors in there. The seat mountings will be the same but leave the battery connected until you have removed the seat mounting bolts as you will have to move the seat forwards and backwads to get to them all.

Dash Brake Pad Light
steve2006 replied to Stirling's topic in Lexus LS400 / Lexus LS430 / LS460 / LS600 / Toyota Celsior Club
On the 1993 model there are sensors on each wheel and in the UK they cost over £45.00 each so as advised above remove the sensor head ( the black plastic bit that clips into the pad) and then join the 2 wires together and tape up out of the way. This will remove the warning light but of course you will have to check the pad wear regularly as he warning system will no longer work. -
Srs Warning Light
steve2006 replied to Limited74's topic in Lexus LS400 / Lexus LS430 / LS460 / LS600 / Toyota Celsior Club
Hello, Sorry I don't come onto the Au forums very often but check all the seat connections, also has the dash been out recently? The link below should help reset the system providing there are no actually faults present. http://www.lextreme....irbaglight.html Also the pre October 1994 model uses OBDI diagnostics so no code reader is needed for the codes, the link below shows how to get the codes for all systems using a paper clip! If your car has a non gated shifter ( in other words it just goes backwards and forwards) it will be this model http://www.lexls.com...odereading.html -
You have managed to buy the LHD version, rewiring is very complicated if at all possible,I am surprised it works at all. This guy used to supply both versions so maybe worth contacting to see if he has a 1994 RHD version. http://www.ebay.com/itm/Lexus-A-C-Climate-Control-LCD-DISPLAY-SCREEN-LS400-1990-1991-1992-90-91-92-NEW-/130696950261?pt=Motors_Car_Truck_Parts_Accessories&hash=item1e6e2531f5&vxp=mtr#ht_500wt_1204

Dash Electrics Fault
steve2006 replied to japhemi's topic in Lexus LS400 / Lexus LS430 / LS460 / LS600 / Toyota Celsior Club
I would have the battery and alternator checked out,there have been reported cases where the battery alone has been the cause of your problem.
