Default Lexus tries to start but doesn't.
I have a 2013 RX350. When I push the start button, engine cranks and sound like it will start but doesn't. Anyone here ever had this experience?

Maybe the battery is low?

I did yet nothing. The ECM was recently changed and it was working fine. I woke up one morning and this problem started.

New ECM needs to be paired with all the kreyFOBs. Maybe you are trying to start with an unregistered key.

Man, all these electronics are causing headaches for you!!!

Is this vehicle still under warranty? If yes, I would just let the Lexus dealership sort it all out.....
