I got this from a Lexuso owners group web site. Its the same problem I'm having with my car.
Oh well its in the alternative lexus repair shop now,they`ve found a 7amp discharge somewhere, its been in for 5 days so far, the mechanic looks for the fault when he has time spare. When he pulls the fuse? marked DCC the discharge stops but hardl`y anything works, he`s had most of the interior stuff apart. Just can`t find it. tommorow he`s starting under the hood, what a bummer, god knows what this will cost. These guys are not fools they`ve worked on lexus from day one, previously toyotas.
He thinks it maybe something to do with the loom, in 30 years of jap cars i`ve never had an electrical fault, and i`m non too pleased. i`ll update if he finds it , lol
Got the car back after nearly 8 weeks, i didn`t hassle em , lol. Turns out it`s an ECU playing up, it doesn`t go to sleep when the ignition is turned off. Apparently they have a few and they all read each other and these multiplex looms tend to be an ars---e to work on. These ECU`s come out around £700 each and i didn`t feel like paying out for a new one as we shall trade the car in soon. So its back to the 10mm spanner every night to take the battery lead off. The main dealer can spend his money on it, lol. Thanks guy`s for a great site.
