You may search on eBay for " VXDIAG VCX NANO Diagnostic Tools for Techstream Compatible with SAE J2534 ", and choose a top seller, it is about $79. Please ask the seller to confirm it is compatible with the 2021 Lexus models.

Also, if you live in Queens,NY, I can bring it to help you on weekend.
Did you fix it?

update: My EPB malfunctioned after trying to replace the rear brake pads myself.

I have purchased a VXDIAG VCX NANO for TOYOTA TIS Techstream. It's perfect. The EPB is working now.

Hi, I got the same EPB malfunction on dash after rear pads replacement on an 2018 RX350L. Was the process to reset the EPB pretty easy? Planning on ordering the Techstream device you've posted.

Ty!

How complex is the Techstream software installation process? Does it require to turn off firewall, copy files manually, edit files etc?

It is easy, just click"next".

Installation steps:

1. Install the official Techstream diagnostic software and restart the computer after completion;

2. Install VX Manager Driver

3. Connect to the VCX device and click "Toyota Launcher.exe".

I’m just reading about this thing and I’m trying to understand it.

would this thing allow us to set the brake hold button to stay on all the time instead of having the press it to activate it every time the vehicle is restarted?

Buyer beware. Many of these illegal Techstream software packages contain malware, and some of the adapters have very limited capabilities. I've had both the cheap version, and now a pro subscription to Techstream with a Mongoose adapter. There's no fair comparison for functionality especially when you try to datalog.

this is why i have held off on getting one of these. If I had a old junker laptop (Windows machine) kicking around then I would probably go for it, but I have read about horror stories of people given remote access to their machines to some unknown guy in China.

I would love a full subscription but the cost is too much for what I need it to do. I did a couple of day download on TIS to get documents which is well worth the minimal cost.

Default Tech stream support

I purchased the vcx nano for troubleshooting my 2019 Lexus rx350 error code when I changed my rear brakes. After installing vcx software the interface is working properly. When I run the tis techscream I am asked to register software and need a software key. Do you have to buy it for vxc nano to work

You need to open the Toyota launcher patch and every time it will activate the software for 3 days.
I think it should be on the CD.
