Lexus SC430 :: 2005 - Driver Side Heater Fails After Applying Leather Care Liquid On Seat
Weird seat heater issue on my 05 TAP/Ecru. Drivers side seat heater tends to fail intermittently after I apply leather care liquid on the seat. Does not happen on the passenger side. In winter, it failed for nearly a week before coming back to life. Yesterday it failed for the evening, then started working again today. Each time right after I applied leather care to the seats. Same amount applied to passenger and driver's seat and the passenger seat is always OK.
What is causing this ? Of course each time I go to the dealer, it is working fine !!!!
Passat (B6) :: 2008 - Seat Belt Warning - Bad Sensor?
I have an annoying problem with my 2008 Passat: the seat belt warning sound beeps occasionally while I'm driving despite the fact that the belt is fastened normally. Usually the beeping ends if I adjust the position of the seat belt buckle or shift my position a little, but this is still an annoying problem. It affects only the drivers seat, passenger side functions normally.
- is there a sensor somewhere in the buckle assembly and can I try to do something to fix it?
- if it need as new sensor should I take the car to a garage or source and install the sensor by myself?
Lexus SC430 :: Possible To Link Seat Memory To Key Fob?
On several other cars I've owned it was possible to link a key fob to seat memory. Meaning if my wife used her remote fob to open the car doors the seats and mirrors were set to her memory position etc.
I searched the owner manual and don't see this feature on our SC430.
Lexus SC430 :: Seat Vibration When In Idle
I took my car to a mechanic the other day to get the spark plugs change. Then I notice when I turn my car on my seats starts to vibrate when in idle. Is this normal cuz the mechanic says this is normal and that every car vibrates just a little. I read some where it could be the mounts but someone on here told me they not because it doesn't shake my seats just vibrates if I seat there I can feel the seats vibrating on and off its not crazy bad vibrate. It's a minor vibration. I was hoping for no vibration what so ever like sitting in on my leather couch in my living room. Mine is a old model 2002.

I love my SC430, and want to keep it another ten years! BUT... I reclined the passenger seat this weekend, and now it won't go back up. Using the release lever, I can pull it up, but if you sit there or put any pressure on it, it falls right back down again to full reclining position.

Lexus SC430 :: Squeak In The Back Seat Near The Rear Window
I've had a squeak, for lack of a better word, in the back seat near or rear window. I couldn't tell if it was the rear seat back or something else.
I began lowering the roof and stopped the process by turning off the ignition while the roof was just setting down in the trunk. This leaves the raised covers pointing up vertically to let the roof pass. (When the roof is up these covers form the rear "package shelf".) In the center of the car just under this cover there is a round black rubber bumper stop the size of a 50 cent piece (whatever those are). This stop is adjustable up-and-down. Rotating it counterclockwise raises the stop and clockwise lowers it. I raised my rubber stop, by hand, a couple of turns upward.
That's all. The squeak is gone. This bumper apparently bind the package shelf to the roof when it is up and stops if from moving around - and squeaking. I don't know the Lexus method for adjusting this bumper stop but a turn or two made a wonderful difference in my mood today.

View 2 RepliesLexus SC430 :: Faulty 02 Sensor Could Damage Motor?
I was wondering whether a faulty 02 sensor (in my case bank 1 sensor 1) is bad for the motor or not?
It is clear to me that a worn out 02 sensor can cause the following problems:
Wastes fuel
Can cause engine performance problems, such as surging and hesitating
Is the number one cause of excessive harmful exhaust emissions
Accelerates catalytic converter damage
BUT are there any other risks in case of damage on the long term?
What the ECU will do in case of a faulty 02 sensor? Will our Lexus order a rich fuel mixture to prevent heating problems or are we also running the risk of a poor mixture?
Lexus SC430 :: Got P0330 And P0325 Knock Sensor?
I noticed my engine light and vsc lights came on two days ago and then after a restart went away.
It's been two days and today the lights came on again and I noticed a hesitation in acceleration.. got the codes scanned I believe they were p0330 and p0325 for bank 1 sensor 1 knock sensor. They wiped the code so I'm going to drive it to see if it comes back on? Where is this sensor located?
Lexus SC430 :: Driver Memory Seat Not Working On 2006 Vehicle
I have a 2006 sc430 and have been having problems with the drivers memory seat although the passenger one works fine.
I have disconnected my batter for 5 minutes, moved the passenger seat all the way forward, heard the beep. Moved the reclining part all the way forward until I heard the beep, and the memory seat for the passenger works great.
I moved the drivers seat all the way forward, heard the beep. Moved the reclining part all the way forward until I heard the beep, but the memory seat won't beep (when you hold set and a number). I even replaced my drivers mirror (didn't tilt down due to bad motor), but that didn't work. Of course, I did redo disconnecting the battery and reconnecting it resetting both drivers seat and passenger seat.
