1. With the car running set the odometer to display total vehicle miles - not to the trip odometer.
2. Shut the vehicle off.
3. With the trip odometer reset button held down, switch the vehicle to on (ie push the start button twice without your foot on the brake).

"hold down the reset button in the drop down button compartment and turning the car on and off" or "That same compartment on the left that you open in order to to pop the trunk has the reset button on it. When you press it scroll to the oil change message and hit reset."
Hope this helps. Take care.
Its for a spare CD cartrige.
Open the glove box and remove all the contents. A rectangular cover at the back needs to be removed. Without putting your foot on the brake to start press the start button until the HVAC system works. Change the control from outside air to inside air. You will see a flap go up and down. The filter is behind this flap when the flap is up. Just pull it out to check it.
How do I NEED Check transmission fluid in a 2003 Lexus Gs 300?"
Take my advice here on this part replacement...... Take your ES300 into your Lexus dealer and have them replace and install. There's more to it than a "do it yourself" in the driveway repair. Genuine Lexus part cost about $200 and one hour labor. Without the proper codes fed into your car computer and proper adjustment....... A total malfunction of this parts can cause more proplems than the mer $300 to replace.
I am a Hybrid technician, so I guess I can offer some input here. The question is a little strange to me, because most people ask the opposite, How is a Hybrid better than a regular car? Anyway, there are some issues to owning a hybrid that must be taken into consideration. Right now the cost of a hybrid is prohibitive. There was a study done recently by a consumer group, that calculated that in order for the hybrid to economically be feasible, gas would need to reach close to $9/gal. I don't know if that's true, but hybrids generally are more expensive than the same car in the regular gas model. Another issue is serviceability. Some shops are even afraid to change the oil on a hybrid, and honestly some shops shouldn't. While the gasoline engine part of a hybrid is the same as always, the electrical is completely different, with some areas containing voltages in the range of as much as 500 volts! Interestingly, the transmission is also part of the hybrid system, and contains high voltage. These high voltages are also a concern of rescue workers in the event of an accident. They are concerned about cutting open a vehicle to save someone, if there is a danger that the rescuer may be electrocuted. Another factor to consider is that once a hybrid is out of warranty, what will it cost to repair it? The high voltage battery, located in the rear, on a hybrid can cost over $1000.00, and requires a fork lift to remove and install. So I guess the four main areas of concern surrounding a hybrid is the initial cost, serviceability, and safety in the event of an accident, and cost of repair.
2006 Lexus gs300 awd check engine on after spark plugs replaced
The starter is located on the left (drivers) side of the engine, below the exhaust manifold to the rear (near the firewall).
The dealer is offering a "plug-and-play" solution. No wiring headaches or compatibility issues, etc. Talk to a good mobile sound system sales and installation pro and see what else is out there. There are too many options to list. With the dealer, you're upgrading. With any after-market shop, no matter how good they are, you're basically "junking out" the current system and starting over. It won't be cheap.
Go to Toyota dealer and get 3 quarts of ATF type IV. It cost around $6 a quart and also order 1 automatic plug washer.
You can purchase the KIT which usually has a small gage and a special hose that will ONLY fit on the LOW side pressure fitting and the instructions of which tell you how to read the gage in order to determine how MUCH FREON to add to the system.
600 dollars. trust me i know from personal experience. and Lexus will only replace not repair hope this helps :)
Check battery connecters to see if they are tiightly connected. I had that some problem and it was the old battery connecters that where loose. I brought some new connecters and had the mechanic put them on. never had a battery problem even sense.
Unlock the drivers side door with the key and this will disable the alarm. Lock it with the key when you leave and the alarm will turn back on.
Assuming factory alarm with no modifications.
There are two fuse boxes located in the 1993 GS300...on the US Spec Gs300, 1 fuse box is located under the hood on the right area facing side. The other is located underneath the dash, above the brake pedal, on the driver side.
The Lexas GS 300 is a first generation model of car sold by Lexas which is a division of Toyota. Production of the Lexus GS 300 first began in 1993 on the 22nd of February.
It is either the drain line below the air conditioner condenser or a leaky heater core. If the water is cold it is the drain line. If the water is warm and sweet smelling it is the heater core.
I have a 1998 Lexus GS300 so I am assuming the process will be similar. I recently changed my cabin air filter due to musty smells in the cabin interior. You gain access to the filter through the glove compartment. Under the section where the CD changer is, there should be a plastic piece towards the back of the glove box where it looks like it connects to the car. This piece should slide off if you push in and then up. Once that is off, there is another plastic door that will be exposed that also slides off, but take a little bit more pressure. It will come off, you won't break it. Once that is off, then you will see a tray that slides out of the compartment and this contains your air filter. Remove the old filter and put the new one in, then repeat the above steps in reverse. Hope this helped you.
Find your bonnet (hood) release catch below the steering column.Go two inches to the right of this and about one inch down, and now you are at a small black plastic cover with OBDII written on it.Remove this cover,and there's your DLC (OBD port)!
the radio is below the center of the windshield, right below the air vents... If you mean how do you REMOVE the radio then that's another question altogether. PULL out center air vents, REMOVE ashtray, there are 2 bolts there and 2 where you removed the air vent. Remove those and your there.
I have a 99 GS300 and there is a lock on the left side, right above your knee that you can puch in. This will make it so the truck can not be opened, except with a key. You also need the main key to unlock the button, the valet key will not work in this lock. I hope this is helpful.
First, slow down to the speed limit. Have a mechanic check that your tires are balanced and are in good shape. In addition, make sure that your shocks and struts do not need replacing. In this age of a car, it may be that they are failing.
