Default RX 350 model 2010 has cooling fan problem?

Whether the engine running or not the fan may come on. I checked wiring problem and coolant sensor but I can not indentify the problem. Let me know what I should do to fix the cooling fan. Even though I switch the engine off and take the key out, the cooling fan still keep working for a day. What is that problem? Inaddition the break light will turn on as well. If I turn on to start everything will work properly, but anytime the engine switch off the fan start working againt, the light turn on. I have no idea now.

the cooling fan keep working for a whole day? i can understand if the fan goes on for a few minutes, but a whole day...there's something wrong there. take your new car back to the dealer to have it checked out.

For a day long? You will run out of the battery first.

Normally, the cooling fan is supposed to continue to work for a short period of time in the varied conditions.

possibly a computer board problem--when dealer runs diagnostics they should find it.

I had something similar in a car several years ago--the cars battery woudl suddenly be dead--after a few trips to dealer, something with the heater control board turned on the heater several minutes after car was shut off--and the heater would run for some length of time.

May be too late if your problem has already been solved but someone was nice enough to post this Service Campaign / Tech Bulletin regarding your exact problem with the letter from Lexus scanned in the thread.

Did they ever correct this for you? If not, hope this helps.

Please let us know how the issue was resolved if it was corrected.

Yeah, worrisome so I figured since he/she never wrote back maybe they were unaware.

Gotta love these boards! I emailed myself the jpg of the announcement so I could compare the VIN numbers to our new one at pickup and luckily, ours did not fall in that range.

Curious if they identified and fixed it or why there is the range. I know the typical reason is that they ID'd the issue and fix before the next production run but one never knows.

We received the 1st one at the dealership with the new Enform so I figured it was recently built (beginning of Aug) so I think we're ok.

This is good stuff to have. Good on ya RXSF!

In this recall, this could be caused by the certain defective parts used on the production lines. It's easy for the plants to figure out how many cars got this part installed.


Congrats, Jay, for your new RX.
