What year is your Sc 300 or 400.
When I was trying to make a switch, couple of great guys here gave me excellent advise:
Mine is sc300 95: any switching steering wheels has to be a wheel from 2000 or before.
Plus I had to keep my original cruise control. Did you switch the airbag connectors

I believe '01 is the usual cutoff for single-stage Lexus airbags, and Toyotas go through '05 or something. They'll definitely work with the sub-harness to adapt to the older 4-spoke SC steering wheels.
