Tte/immobiliser Problem

[Jarek]

Hi,

I have IS 200 model and recently I've discovered there is a possibility to add TTE kit to improve this car a lot. However a new one is very expensive. Does anyone have idea if there is a possibility to buy a secon hand kit for example from the car after accident?

I have also a problem with immobiliser. Sometimes after washing (automatic high pressure wash) immobiliser light doesn't switch off when I start the motor (and then it should). When I stop the car one of the transfer box makes noise. After a few hours when the car is totally dry everything goes back to normality. It was checked in authorised Lexus and Toyota services but they have no idea where the water comes and makes electric short-circuit with immobiliser net. Does anyone faced the same problem?

Thanks!

getting a TTE kit from a write-off (acident) might be difficult as they will be rare and the accident would probably damage parts of the kit (like the intercooler for example)... your best bet will be to look for a used kit although even those are hard to come by at the moment so you may have to watch the forums or eBay and be quick to grab any that you see...or maybe try tte direct ( but its probably expensive)

as for the water trouble - there has been occasions of water entering the drivers footwell fuse box from teh windscreen - but this typically affects the headlights, but it may be causing the trouble for the immobiliser too ( im not sure if theres a fuse for that there or not) - so you may want to check for a leak in the windscreen or the fuse box ie drops of water there. :)

Thank you very much, I will seriously consider your tip concerning windscreen because the packer between steel and glass doesn't fit perfectly which can cause the problem. Regarding TTE kit you confirmed my worries it'll be hard to find, pity.....
