I have an '04 Land Cruiser, but since the LX is basically the same vehicle I was wondering if any of you knew the answer. I thought I read somewhere that the '03-'04 LC/LX are drive-by-wire, is that true?

I can't find anything definitive, the only thing I found was "Electronic Throttle Control w/Intelligence".

 

I have a 99 LX and I am 99.99999% sure it is not drive by wire. I've had the battery out of the car and when I step on the gas, the throttle cable moves and when I step on the brakes, the caliper does tighten a bit.

I had a '98 Land Cruiser and I know that wasn't. If they did go DBW, I suspect it was with the '03/'04 update.

 

The 2001 MY Lx470 had electronic throttle control and a backup throttle cable. The 2004MY has only electronic throttle control.

 

Thank you.
