Resetting electronics in an LS600
Guys,
I was told to disconnect batteries in my 600 so as to allow all of the electronics to reboot. I disconnected the battery in the trunk, then got confused when I got to the hood battery enclosed in a metal case.
2 questions.
1 - Do both batteries need to be disconnected to reset batteries.
2 - How do you disconnect the under hood battery?
Thanks!

Just disconnect negative cable in the trunk..there is nothing under the hood of the 600 you should mess with. But, I don't know why you want to do that anyway. The car will do whatever it needs to do and if its not right, a battery reset won't change anything

I was told to do this by a tech at my local Lexus dealership...

Hybrid battery is right behind the back seats and it is completely covered under the trunk liner. The staring battery is the one at the left of the trunk covered with a black box/cover that you can expose pulling a single clips.

The starter battery in the trunk. Left side. This is the battery for the electronics and starts the hybrid system. As far as this discussion, there is only one battery and it's the one I mentioned. Don't even think of going near the main hybrid cell behind rear seats..enough voltage to kill you and your neighbors at the same damn time. No owners manual in your possession I take it?

The spine of the book broke so now I have 600+ pages no longer in order. I need to get a new one from Lexus.
