Installation [11/2021 - ]: Procedure

WARNING: This page is about a different car, the 2025 Lexus NX 350, 2024 Lexus NX 350, 2023 Lexus NX 350, and 2022 Lexus NX 350. However, it is still accessible from the selected car via links, so may be relevant.
  1. INSTALL SHIFT CONTROL ACTUATOR ASSEMBLY 
    NOTE:
    • When disconnecting a wire harness of any component connected to the supply power of the integrated capacitor (integration control supply) or when removing the integrated capacitor (integration control supply), make sure to wait 5 minutes or more after turning the ignition switch off for self-diagnosis to complete and the voltage of the integrated capacitor (integration control supply) to discharge.
    • Do not rotate the spline part (*a) of the shift control actuator assembly.

      *g 9.83° - -
      1. Check the spline portion (*a) of the shift control actuator assembly.
        • If the spline portion is in the D position, perform step ((b)-(i)).
        • If the spline portion is in the N position, perform step ((b)-(ii)).
        • If the spline portion is in the R position, perform step ((b)-(iii)).
        • If the spline portion is in the P position, perform step ((b)-(iv)).

      *a Parking Lock *b 2-flats Portion of Parking Lock Shaft
      *c Spline Portion of Parking Lock Shaft - -
      1. If the spline portion (*a) of the shift control actuator assembly is in the D position:

        Using a pair of pliers, grip the spline portion (*c) of the parking lock shaft that has been wrapped with a cloth or other material and rotate it 3 notches in the direction shown by the arrow in the illustration to release the parking lock.

        NOTE:
        • Do not rotate the wheels of the vehicle.
        • Do not grip the 2-flats portion (*b) of the parking lock shaft.
        • Make sure to use a cloth or other material to prevent damage to the spline portion (*c) of the parking lock shaft.
      2. If the spline portion (*a) of the shift control actuator assembly is in the N position:

        Using a pair of pliers, grip the spline portion (*c) of the parking lock shaft that has been wrapped with a cloth or other material and rotate it 2 notches in the direction shown by the arrow in the illustration to release the parking lock.

        NOTE:
        • Do not rotate the wheels of the vehicle.
        • Do not grip the 2-flats portion (*b) of the parking lock shaft.
        • Make sure to use a cloth or other material to prevent damage to the spline portion (*c) of the parking lock shaft.
      3. If the spline portion (*a) of the shift control actuator assembly is in the R position:

        Using a pair of pliers, grip the spline portion (*c) of the parking lock shaft that has been wrapped with a cloth or other material and rotate it 1 notches in the direction shown by the arrow in the illustration to release the parking lock.

        NOTE:
        • Do not rotate the wheels of the vehicle.
        • Do not grip the 2-flats portion (*b) of the parking lock shaft.
        • Make sure to use a cloth or other material to prevent damage to the spline portion (*c) of the parking lock shaft.
      4. Temporarily install the shift control actuator assembly to the automatic transaxle assembly with the 3 bolts in the order shown in the illustration.
      5. Fully tighten the 3 bolts.

        Torque: 17.5 N.m (178 kgf/cm, 13 ft.lbf) 

      6. Engage the 2 hose clamps.
      7. Connect the 2 shift control actuator assembly connectors.
        NOTE:

        Make sure to perform actuator position learning after removing and installing the shift control actuator assembly.
