400h 2007 Auto-lock feature doesn't work
Hello all, Two days I have been reading stuff about auto lock feature... I have my own user manual, where is stated this step with exactly 5 seconds of holding lock button to set it for example on car move (N position), but it doesn't work for me. After releasing the button after exactly 5sec no confirmation lock/unlock, so sound whatsoever.
Is there some kind of initialization of this function of some hidden workaround that I don't know of?
I have contacted Lexus in Czech Republic - they said I have to bring the car to them on diagnostics. But I believe there is still some setting I can do by myself. FOr example I was able to (thanks to you guys on this forum) reset moonroof window as it wasn't closing properly - now, thanks to tip from here, I did the reinitialization steps and now it works ok.
Thanks

But how so? In the manual is stated that I can do it by myself, following the steps with 5sec interval.

Ok, but why is in the manual stated that the 2007 version can do it by user.. following 5 second thing..
it is puzzling me. I was able to reset sunroof (which is not in the manual) but not autolock (which is in manual)

I can't speak for that, not saying the manual is wrong but there are other sure fire ways. I never read the manual anyways unless its for service intervals. But I will tell you, I turned off and then back on the auto lock via techstream myself so I can confirm OBD2 method is legit, also turned off DRL without needing to change the relay.

OK, a nd does this techstream works with ODB-II bluetooth adapters? Like this for example:

Ok, thanks Lexuswiz. So, I will try to find some cable, do you have a tip (for example on ebay)? Because I driving mostly the city, so for me it is a quite important to set this future on. But I assume, setting auto lock is only one of the possibilities what can I do with the cable and techstream, right

And yes, techstream is extremely powerful, it is toyota/lexus' official diagnostic tool. I can customize other settings, program keys (with existing master), read check engine lights, and do transmission fluid changes (for sealed transmissions) with it.

Hi Lexuswiz, I tried the Techstream way - but there was no customization window, where I could set the auto lock feature. Is it possible that my car simply doesn't have this function? My 400h is made in 6/2007 whilst my boss's is 8/2007 - he has this ability.

I doubt it doesn't as my 2005 RX330 could do it, but since you are not in the US, hard for me to say. I've seen this on different year Lexus and Toyota when I run techstream but again, these are US cars.

To be clear - Auto lock does Not automatically lock the car when you walk away,
There is no feature or setting to enable that action.
To clarify the feature: Auto Lock will lock the doors when you:
a) take the shifter out of Park, or
b) when you drive faster than 7 MPH.
Auto Unlock can be programmed for either:
a) putting the car into Park or
b) turning off the ignition.
