Sounds normal so that you know the light works. The other MILs should light up too at key on before start.

sound right. usually when you go to the first slot of the key, all the lights on the dash should turn on. But if you start the engine and the check engine light is on, you need to bring it in to the shop.

go to http://drivers.lexus.com/lexusdriver...nual-search.do for the manual.

thanks for the help guys.... now I am stuck at one more issue and that is to find the right grade of transmission oil as the manual is in Japanese and the English version on line does not specify that.... can anyone help me in this regard?
thanks....

Welcome to CL.

Please read the sticky threads [top few] and use search function. Most of the common issues have been discussed in detail. In fact transmission service is one of the sticky.

RX uses Toyota Type IV which is different from other names with IV in it.
