Default New owner, new questions

Hello everyone.

I'm a proud new owner of a LCPO 14' RX450h! As this is my family's first lexus I have a few probably newbie questions.

1. TPMS. I live in NJ but frequently go to upstate NY where snow tires are required. I'll be getting a second set of rims + tires to swap during the winter. On all my other vehicles I just swap the tires and ignore the yellow TPMS light since I'm not going to pay ~100 each time for a dealer to reset the sensors + $200 to actually buy the sensors. I've read conflicting threads that the lexus TPMS light flashes instead of just staying on? In my situtation, where the vehicle would not sense the sensors, would the light flash or just stay illuminated? On my subaru, the light only flashes if there is something wrong with the system, it'll stay stay on if the tires are low / not detected.

2. CANBUS. Does this vehicle have canbus? I ask because I wanted to swap in LED signals but need to know if they have to work with canbus. I understand without swapping the relay they will flash rapidly but I plan on changing the turn relay out as well. Canbus is a whole different beast then just hyperflashing...

3. Repair manual. As part of LCPO I get the next 4 services included but after that I'm SOL. I do all my own work on our vehicles so I always pick up a service manual. I've searched the internet pretty well and can't find any for the newer lexus' Does anyone have a download link / purchase place to get a 14' hybrid shop manual?

4. Grill. I'm sure this has been asked a million times (and based on my searching it has!) but can the Fsport upper grill swap into a non-fsport bumper. I don't care about swapping the whole bumper, I just like the upper grill. All the reads link to this website:

Is 53112e the correct part that I need? There are 3 subparts all with different prices. Which one is the actual part I need?


Much appreciated!
