Rear sensor and fuel economy
Sorry in advance if this has already been discussed--I tried the search option and got every link that had the word "rear" or "sensor" in it. Was taking waaaaaaaaaaaay tooooooooooooo long to get the info I was looking for.
2004 LS 430: when I bought the car a week ago the rear driver sensor would be activated when in reverse. I have tried to clean sensor with no change. Are there suggestions on how to fix the issue? The car is still under warranty so should I just take to local Lexus dealer even though bought privately?
On the dash it has a fuel economy reading that is driving me crazy. Is there a way to get off odometer reading or reset so accurate? The individual that I purchased it from ran 87 octane through it for about 2,0000 miles and was getting around 17.5 mpg around town. Since I have it I having been putting 91 octane. This past weekend I drove 500 miles and the reading has changed to 17.8 mpg but when figures from trip A sensor and gas receipt I am getting 28.1 mpg. How do I either remove this reading from the dash or reboot so am having correct info?

Sensor - might be broken..may need replacement or push reset which is a button under the steering column.
Mileage reading - The buttons on the steering wheel that says "VIEW"..you can press it and it will change to the other available choices.
Good luck and congrats on the new car.

And one of the available choices is the ability to see the current mileage or tank average. Your owner's manual has all the options and in the order they are displayed. You use the buttons on the right hand side of your steering wheel to see your choices.
You can hit the Idsplay 1 or Display 2 on your steering wheel and the items you want to reset to blank, just hit the RESET button right next to the Display button. This will clear your Average MPG, Current MPG, Average MPG and so on. i usually reset all displays after each gas refill to track my MPG.
