Default AC servo Replacement

My 2016 GS350 got hit the the infamous AC servo issue. I have the B1441 code in AC ECU.

Is it an easy DIY replace or does it really need professional help?
couldn't find a write up considering this is common problem with these cars.

Thanks in advance.

It's quite a task. Is your servo covered under the recall?

@mdanfas Lexus USA has a program to fix an AC Servo motor issue. It looks like you are in the UAE - contact your local Lexus dealer and maybe show them the following taken from the Lexus US support program and see what they say...:

the letter i received from lexus directed me to this webpage to see if it qualifies:
https://www.toyota.com/recall/update-info-lexus

when i started getting the issue, i called my dealership and they already had it on file for me. call your local lexus and give them you VIN and they should be able to help you out if the webpage doesnt work properly (it seemed buggy when i entered my info)

Default Temporary solution

I had a Mini VCI cable with me. So got the latest Techstream version and the issue is solved for now by initializing the servos.

I live in UAE and the recall is not valid here. So I'll be using it till initialization will never fix it.

Thanks everyone for the replies 🙌🏼😃

I don't know if it's allowed to post about techstream cracked versions here. If you have the cable, DM me in insta @ mdanfas I'll send you the files needed for it to work in win10
