Hi Oldskewel,
Thanks for the code reading tutorial !
Hi Banshee,
yeah its an early year but not one of the very first. It is however the first iteration of the car and has most options except heated seats due to the Southern California climate.
Hi Stereorob,
Don't worry she will stay 100% original and will be protected and pampered.
Others here, if anyone knows if it's easy to change the steering wheel motor this may be necessary. It is blocked in upright position so the typical worn out plastic gear fix probably won't help. I expect a new electric motor from Lexus is super expensive, and those from junkyards will be hit and miss but maybe my best bet. I can always fix the worn gear on one of those.
