Default 04LS - Do I have PCS ?

How can I tell if my '04 LS430 has the PreCollision System ? Is there a digit/character in the VIN #, or visible evidence somewhere that a car has that ?

My car is not a UL, but Custom Luxury version.

What does the "L" on your front grill look like? Does it have a piece of plastic behind it?

I can't find a great pic of mine (which has PCS), but you can see it in this pic below

Nothing behind "L" - just air back to the radiator. I suppose that means I don't have it , right ? Mine was a late-2003 build, and I've heard that PCS is only on those built 2004 and later. This may confirm that, I guess.

Yep - if you don't have that square you don't have PCS.
