The 4lo just keeps the LC going slower with higher RPM. The LC isn’t anticipating as many gear changes which in turn keeps the tranny cooler.

This is because the transmission is anticipating a gear change. The anticipation cause clutch and torque converter slippage which increases tranny temperature.

Move the shifter over to manual shift. I would do 1st gear if going 5 MPH. The vehicle is anticipating a shift so the transmission will slip the torque converter and clutches.

Toyota has done EVs since the mid 90s. They have the hybrid system down to a T. There are hybrids with over 300,000 miles and still running on original equipment.

That is correct. The 12v does activate everything. If that battery goes dead the vehicle won’t start. There is a 12v back up starter. This starter is used for cold weather starting and after a fill up.

There’s a reason Toyota chose nickel metal hydride. I can’t remember the reason as to why. I know the nickel metal has a history of longevity. I know my battery rarely reaches 100% usually about 80%. My guess to this is to help with longevity.

I don’t think you would wanna tie into that circuit. The hybrid system powers the DC motor, charges the 12v battery and runs the 120v outlet. Why do ya wanna tie into that line.

It could be used on days that are around 40F. It would be great for quick cleaning of the wheels or spots with lots of salt. I think it would also be great for off road or the beach.

I saw this in another vehicle forum. This is a portable pressure washer. I think this would be handy in the winter for removing salt.

I would say the noise is normal. If the 25s are making the sound I’d say it’s normal operating sounds.

If the inside temp is lower than 16c then hot air will blow out. Get the inside really hot and then try to lower the temperature. This should make it blow cold air.

If I remote start my CarPlay won’t auto connect. I hope this gets fixed.

The 0W-20 is hard to read on the dipstick. The factory oil will have crud in it from assembly. This can range from machining oil, sealant and traces of metal. The engine is breaking in so some gas may be in it. I wouldn’t worry too much about it since it’s the factory oil.

The inverter is probably similar to many Toyota vehicles. His LC may of gotten a faulty one.

I’ve noticed in the settings there is an auto A/C. I’m not sure what this does but it’s worth looking into.

I can’t honestly see a malfunctioning fuel pump damaging an engine. The computer also has safety guards to protect the engine.

There are two fuel pumps. There is one in the fuel tank (Low Pressure) and one on top of engine (High Pressure).

The high pressure fuel pump is on top of the engine. This pump sends fuel to the direct injectors.

Evap system running the leak check test.

Let’s see if others agree. I’ve rolled my window down and can’t hear the noise anymore. I’m wondering if some type of update was done.

I would try rockauto.com. I buy most of my auto parts from them. Their prices are pretty decent.

I just looked at your picture. It’s stuck to the top. Mine was stuck

It’s a square filter.

There should be a filter. The filter is kinda purple.

This diagram is for the car style engine. The intercooler in the LC is air to air. I’d like to find a diagram for the LC setup.

I wonder if Toyota did some type of update. I’m not noticing the noise anymore.

This is the EVAP system doing a leak check test. This test is normal.
