Flat Battery

[06_400_h_se]

I've had the flat Battery problem a number of times and perhaps this is covered on here, but I printed the attached and laminated it and it sits in my glove box, as I can never remember what/how to reset everything.

One other thing - I bought a solar panel that plugs into the diagnostic port - this allows charging whilst the vehicle is switched off and locked (the lighter socket does not). I have used this at airports/whilst away and I haven't had a flat Battery since. Again, this may have been covered already, but thought I would mention it.

Did the attachment work?

Don't forget if you have a reverse camera you'll need to turn the wheel from lock to lock to set the guide lines. Also what is the ISC, sounds drastic throttleing up when in drive and not moving. Will this not overcook the transmission?

I can't remember what ISC is, but I know that mpg improves slightly after it's done.

Hi guys,

ISC stands for Idle Speed Control - a modern equivalent to a choke. If this is not reset, you could be running rich and therefore use more fuel than necessary...

I found the following TSB for you RX400 owners:

That should not be necessary.

It asked me to do just that after I put a new Battery on the car, the camera worked but the moving guides did not appear until I did.

ah ok the moving lines, that makes sense. I assumed you meant the static ones which can only be adjusted via the diagnostic menu.
