ok maybe its not a big deal...but i am not able to open the doors with the sensor under the handle and also have to put the key in the slot to start the car. i know i sound spoiled, but i would like for it to work. it was nice not having to reach in my pocket and press unlock and also nice to start the car without the key inserted. does anyone know how i can fix this?

thanks

 

Check the battery in your Key fob. They go out after about 2 years. Lexus is very expensive for them.

 

Also dont you have two more keys, one for valet to test out if the battery is out?

 

did someone disable the smart access? there is a button right next to where your tire pressure sensor switch is.

 

Near the drivers right knee. Check it out.

 

yeah, i found the button, and pressed it, everything worked out fine. thanks guys. on a side note...i'm the only one driving the car, and the button is quite small, dont know how i would have managed to accidentally disable it...
