Drive Start Control [10/2024 - ]: Procedure

WARNING: This page is about a different car, the 2025 Lexus RX 350, 2024 Lexus RX 350, and 2023 Lexus RX 350. However, it is still accessible from the selected car via links, so may be relevant.
  1. PAST ACTIVATION CONFIRMATION 
    1. Check if the customer operated the vehicle in a way that would cause the drive start control to operate.

      Activation conditions

      • Pattern A (When all of the following conditions are met, control starts.)
        • The accelerator pedal is open by approximately 1/5 or more.
        • The shift lever is moved from P to any forward position D (Including other forward shift positions) or R.
      • Pattern B (When all of the following conditions are met, control starts.)
        • The accelerator pedal is open by approximately 1/5 or more.
        • The shift lever is moved from R to any forward position D (Including other forward shift positions), any forward position D (Including other forward shift positions) to R, or N to R.

      HINT: 

      Depending on the situation, the shift position may not be changed.

      Items Controlled

      • Engine output is restricted.

      Deactivation Conditions

      • The accelerator pedal is released.
      • The shift lever is in P or N.

      HINT: 

      • The engine output restricted level differs between pattern A and pattern B.
      • During sudden start restraint control, engine output is adjusted based on the road gradient.
      • Drive start control is not activated when TRC is turned off.

        Control will also not operate under the following conditions. (if equipped)

        • When in auto LSD mode
        • When the transfer switch is operated to switch the status to L4
        • When the center differential is locked
        • When TRAIL mode is on
        • When multi-terrain select is selected

      Result

      Result Proceed to
      Not performed A
      Performed B

    Result: 

    SYSTEM NORMAL (GO TO PROBLEM SYMPTOM TABLE). Refer to  PROBLEM SYMPTOMS TABLE [10/2022 - ] 

    Result: 

    See step  2

  2. CHECK DTC OUTPUT (HEALTH CHECK) 
    1. Perform the Health Check using the GTS.
    2. Check the DTCs.

      Result

      Result Proceed to
      DTCs are not output (Hunting) A
      DTCs are not output (Hesitation/poor acceleration) B
      DTCs are output C

    Result: 

    See step  5

    Result: 

    GO TO DTC CHART. Refer to  DIAGNOSTIC TROUBLE CODE CHART [10/2024 - ] 

    Result: 

    See step  3

  3. READ VALUE USING GTS (FR, FL, RR, RL WHEEL SPEED) 
    1. Start the engine.
    2. Read the value displayed on the GTS.

      WARNING:

      When performing a drive test, obey all speed limits and traffic laws.

      HINT: 

      Data can be captured relatively easily by using the snapshot function in the Data List. Confirm the data after performing the drive test.

      Result

      Proceed to
      OK
