TOMS LTS 2 throttle controller

[wongerico]

Has anyone ever fitted a TOMS LTS 2 throttle controller to a IS300h? If yes can anyone tell me how to fit it as the instructions are in Japanese. Also does anyone know if something like that invalidate the manufacturers warranty as Lexus cannot answer this. Apparently most of the installation it's just plug and play and just need to crimp one wire to obtain the 12v works with ignition.

i didnt know what this system is so i have searched and from what i have read i feel you will be better off just having the car in sport mode

as the dial for eco , normal ,sport mode seems to be the same as the lts2 unit.

here is a link for the info i read

Thanks for that, I have got it already, can anyone else help?

It wouldn't invalidate your warranty if you removed it before asking the garage to attempt warranty work on your car ;)

[wongerico]

That was exactly what I was thinking, has anyone fitted one or have experience of one?

[wongerico]

Maybe I will use a piggy back fuse to get the 12v ignition power source and when it comes to service time at Lexus, I can just unplug instead of using scotch lock so that no trace is available whatsoever

There should be no reason to remove it just for a service. However if you are having throttle/engine issues then it would be advisable to remove it prior to letting Lexus diagnose the issue.

So you reckon they won't make note of its presence while it's in for service? I was just thinking they might make note of it and actually void the warranty if they see it that's why I was thinking of fitting it with the mind of easy disconnect

Never use Scotch-Loks for any permanent connections. In my experience they end up being the source of many a problem.

i plan to use a piggy back fuse to install this controller so it's easy to take out when returning to Lexus to carry out works. Would you guys think the Battery needs to be disconnect when plug into fuse box? If I disconnected the negative terminal would it cause problems as it reset my smart keys or vehicle settings in general? What's the advice? Thanks in advance

Why would you need to disconnect the Battery to fit a piggy back fuse? You wouldn't do so just yo change a fuse,  presumably just have the ignition off as you would fit it to a circuit which is ignition controlled.

I was fitting a set ofdaytinedrivingnlight on my smart car last year and I don't know if it was me or it was Smart's design, however fitting a piggy back I tripped a fuse. So I just wasn't sure, but in theory you are correct though

Hi everyone,

fitted my Tom's LTS 2 throttle controller yesterday, it make the car noticibly responsive, it gets rid of the hesitation that automatics have, easy fitment once overridden the Japanese instructions, worth a try;) also I made it into a plug and play so not wiring loom damage for warranty purpose.
