Lock dimples on handles do not work
Hello everyone. I searched everywhere for this but couldn't find an answer to my specific problem.
I have a '20 RX450h, and when I put my hand under the door handle (any of the 4 handles), the car would unlock like it should. But when I put my finger on the little dimple to lock the car, it does not respond, and I have to lock the car using the fob. I tried this will all 4 handles, and none of the 4 would lock the doors. Everything else on the doors seems to be normal:
1. the handles light up when I'm nearby.
2. I can still lock all doors from inside the car.
3. the fob works normally
4. the doors lock/unlock when I shift to and from P.
5. all doors lock normally when I press the little button in the trunk the has a lock on it for 3 seconds (it shuts the trunk and then locks all doors).
I appreciate any help

It looks like a software glitch that will require a Lexus factory level OBD2 scanner. I am assuming you just purchased the vehicle and noticed right away the door lock problem. Take the car to Lexus or Toyota and talk to a service advisor. Sometimes they will fix these off the wall anomalies for free.

@Lexus1989 Were you able to find out the cause and the fix of the dimples touch sensors not working for locking the doors?
I have the exact same problem and seriously out of ideas. Any help, feedback or advice would be greatly appreciated! thanks!

Does anyone have any lead or idea on why the touch lock mechanism and the lock button at the trunk don't work while everything else works? (touch unlock works, lock/unlock via fob works, lock/unlock via inside works)
When the lock sensor (dimple) is touched on the door handle, Live Data via Techstream shows that it is "ON"
Would a battery reset help with this? It's for a 2017 RX 350
