Our first Lexus
We purchased our first Lexus yesterday. It is a 2001 RX 300. It is in decent condition with 285,000 miles. It has 2 issues that I need to address first. If I understand it correctly this vehicle has 4 speeds in the automatic transmission. It does not seem to be shifting into fourth gear. The next obstacle is the vrm and traction control lights are on. I just found this forum and will be going through to try and diagnose the problem.

+1 to scanning the codes! I'd imagine it's a knock sensor, but that's a complete guess based on what's most common with that symptom. Post the codes up here and we'll get you shifting into 4th!
