Professional mechanics don’t fix. They identify the faulty unit and replace entire unit. It’s better to hurt the customer in the pocket than have a reputation of customers keep on coming back of the same fault because they try to ‘save’ money.

Lexus is built on customer satisfaction - that is the fastest way of getting the car back on the road without mucking around.

Default rx450h hybrid system warning

When I look up the code myself I get a variety of different things it could be not just the inverter.
  • Faulty Inverter cooling system
  • Inverter cooling system harness is open or shorted Inverter cooling system circuit poor electrical connection
  • Faulty Water pump with motor assembly
  • Faulty Cooling fan motor Faulty No. 2 cooling fan motor
  • Faulty Inverter with converter assembly
I have been trying to do some troubleshooting myself, I checked the fuses that correspond to the hybrid system and they seem okay. I even unplugged the battery for a while just so the system could reset, I drove it around after that and it was working great the batteries were charging and the EV mode was working, but then 30 minutes later the message came back up.

Also, as mentioned in my first message when I look at the coolant reservoir it is not churning, is this normal? I would expect that I should see some movement.

I am having similar symptoms. No cooling issue...i am going hybrid ecu not supplying proper voltage to outputs

My symptom is less and less fuel efficiency after ecu reset...transmission shifting abnormally, brakes inefficient...hybrid error code, brake system error code
