What we check first
The Lexus issues a specialist knows by heart.
These are the well-documented, high-frequency faults on Lexus platforms. Whether yours has them depends on the year, engine and mileage, which is what the diagnostic is for.
Water pump and oil cooler line on the 3.5 V6
The 2GR engine's water pump seeps at higher miles, and early cars had a rubber oil cooler line that can fail. We inspect both at every oil service.
Hybrid battery and inverter cooling
Hybrid systems last when the inverter coolant pump and battery fan are clean and working. We test both and read the individual battery block voltages.
Lower control arm bushings and brake actuator
A clunk over bumps is usually bushings. A brake warning on GS and LS hybrids is often the actuator, which we diagnose before quoting.
