New Toyota Problem I've Never Seen Before! More LS430 Goodness!

- I share with you a New Toyota problem that I've never seen before in my long career as a Toyota Master Diagnostic Technician.
Power steering fluid in Toyota and Lexus Products don't really have an interval of replacement recommend. However you want to regularly check the fluid and when you notice it getting darker, do replace it.
If you ever notice staining of the power steering reservoir change the fluid immediately and attempt to replace it again after a short time to clear any debris.
This otherwise perfectly working power steering pump in this 2004 Lexus LS430 suddenly started whining and completely stopped working because of the clogged screen in the reservoir that no matter what we did, it won't clear up requiring the replacement of the power steering pump and reservoir.

LS430 deserves this love from such a great automotive counselor, who’s more than just a mechanic or shop owner. This is knowledge folks.
Yes Sir, another 17 minutes well spent watching one of your valuable Lexus enlightenment videos. After watching your videos, I decided to pull the trigger on getting my first Lexus. A 2005 LS430. A high milage, base model, one-owner, none-snow-belt-home state, well kept and serviced LS430. And she was 450 miles away. But I had no fear and drove it all the way home like I'd stolen it. I was afraid the owner might change his mind and wanted it back. I wanted to get out of Kentucky real quick. And quick, it was.
Only issue was a leaking right rear strut, and on the outside, a scrape here, a slight ding there, and the paint will need some restoration. With the help of The Car Care Nut videos, I've replaced the struts all around, front upper and lower control arms, lower control arm ball joints, tie-rod ends, wheel bearing hubs, rotors and brake pads. Yes, parts are very expensive but there is no way around this.
Folks, like AMD say: try to avoid replacing vital genuine OEM Lexus parts with aftermarket parts. Those parts might look the same, and fit the same way, but there's a 50/50% chance that they don't work the same. There's a reason why Lexus parts lasts as long as they do. I learned this the hard way in replacing the front hub bearing assembly with an aftermarket wheel hub kit. After installation, those bearings inside the hub sounded like either someone forgot to pack the wheel bearings with grease, or there was insufficient lubrication in there to prevent the ball bearings from eating the bearing race for breakfast. Buy whatever parts that you want that is available out there, but if you want it to last, there's no going around putting on genuine Lexus parts.
AMD, wish I had a local repair shop like yours-- honesty and Integrity!👍
YOU CAN SAY AGAIN LOUD AND CLEAR!
AMD, Yes, in the old days with my old jalopies, most mechanics skipped the 'Why?', just threw some parts at them and handed over the bill. I learned the hard way. With my nice, new 17 year old 'Toyota', I change my power steering fluid every 5 years at the same time the coolant is changed. Getting back to the LS, no car is perfect not even a Lexus. We really, really appreciate the time you take to educate us about the pros and cons of each model. 😁
Funny you say that. I just change the coolant and the power steering fluid in my five year old Toyota. I guess great minds think a like. I had previously change the brake fluid and the differential fluid. Transmission service was last year
@@kevinbarry71 Every 5 years I have the coolant, power steering fluid, manual transmission lubricant, serpentine belt and pcv valve changed. They are all easily accessible on my simple 1.8 engine. Doing it all at the same time makes it easy to remember and saves money as I get a sort of 'package price'. The brake fluid is done every 2-3 years.
I've had my 2004 Lexus LS 430 with 110,000 miles for one year. The car is phenomenal. It does have the Ultra Luxury Package, but the air suspension had been replaced with conventional coil-overs, so I avoided that issue. Another issue mentioned in this video is that the tilt and elevation steering column motors are broken, but I live it with it. My major headache has been the Mark Levinson audio system repair, a common problem. I have had the amplifier in the trunk repaired and I am in the process of repairing the deteriorated foam on all the doors and rear deck speakers. It is time-consuming, but not difficult or costly if you do it yourself. In the process I have learned so much more about the car's design, which is a plus. I also need to replace the old, dim navigation screen as he has done here with an Android unit. I would be interested in learning more about how that change worked out. AMD's educational videos are the best. He deserves all the accolades he receives.
By any chance do you happen to know much about the motors for the side mirrors? My issue after just buying a 2004 with 120k miles is that those motors went out unfortunately, so I have to manually snap the mirrors into place, like yours too steering column motors are giving me a little bit of trouble too.
It’s 2023 & I’m about to get my 2005 LS 430 …. It might sound crazy, but that’s the one of the cars I always wanted….I’m so thankful for this place of information about my new car….& the many owners comments…🤑
I'm thinking of getting one also what are your thoughts now?
I have a 2011 Avalon limited and always wanted one of these LS430 but after your video I'll think I'll keep my Avalon 96,000 miles keep the videos coming
You would be missing out I have a 2004 LS and I love it It’s 18 years old and just turned over 190K and it’s dead reliable I put 100000k plus in the last 6 years it was perfect what I had wanted color Moonlight Pearl interior Cashmere Beige and Mark Levinson it is such a solid vehicle and I never tire of its strengths The engine is so superb to any other vehicle I have owned Except my 99 LS400 and I wished I would had had the ability to have kept it It was traded in at 7 pm I was back at the dealership at 7 am the next day the LS400 was sold already the 2004 is a marked improvement in Handling and Drag Coefficient and has BT and Full time navigation so quiet the seats in the 99 I loved them best seats or best recliner seats that I wished I could have kept that Car the 2004 seats are modeled after the First Class Seats from the Best Japanese Airline Company and are very comfortable but they are more bolstered for the upgraded handling from the previous generation and it is more my style and the 24 seems like a 4 Dr NSX It feels like it is with the high roofline and the large windows it’s like the canopy on the F-111 and the lowered stance the body takes and the stunning 26 drag coefficient it’s whisper quiet fast and stops well it beat e eryluxury high end vehicle and eeverything works as it should it takes required maintenance and it will last easily 500K And more just doing what it needs No other make of vehicle can boast of such longevity with routine maintenance and it looks new still People are amazed as well as myself It’s better than I could have ever hoped and one anomaly on an LS isn’t a reason to abandon a thought you had yes keep your Avalon and yes what you spend on one now even with a good going thru no rust buckets But they were also made with rust prevention as a part of the build process It just never seems old or tired it’s really a testament to Lexus and it’s parent company Toyota They are one of the few if not the only one that values reliability and excellent engineering a Ten year old Lexus beats any new car it’s that much more I would say that the power steering was unfortunate but once it’s solved It will never happen again cars must be driven and all the fluids were neglected so whomever bought this and went thru it to fix everything is still at only 40 % of its new value if they had paid top dollar and then all of the use they will Enjoy from it for the price of a bare bones Camry they will have a top of the line LS430 Which stands for Luxury Sedan And it has been said the LS is the Land Cruiser of the sedans Meaning over engineered and seems to be ageless with care
Golden advice from a very good source! Thanks for all of the inside information! Learned a lot today!
Cracked 400k! Congrats 👏🏼 it’s well deserved
Congratulations!! on 400k Subscribes Keep up the Good work!
TY Sir for this video, totally full of information as usual. Wow have never ever heard of a power steering pump completely failing so I am very glad you featured this rare failure. That smart key issue is a real pain, the cost involved to purchase 2 new key fobs and then have the car reprogramed to accept them is horrendous. Glad the Lexus is reaching it's final repairs and the new owner will no doubt be delighted with the outcome, once its dent free and polished up it will be a real rare beauty.
Keep Safe Keep Strong
the camera work looks really good on this video. the videos just keep getting better and better. keep up the good work.
I'm so glad you got your own shop. You do great work
The honesty and education of this channel are top-notch. This is by far my favorite Toyota / Lexus on the web.
My 2002 Tundra has spent the last decade parked on a concrete pad that receives no shade, the hot Georgia sun bakes the truck from above and below with reflected heat. Last year I noticed a power steering pump whine, and when I checked the fluid I noticed the reservoir had tiny cracks all over it... it was not leaking but failure was probably going to happen sooner than later. I replaced the reservoir and fluid... all is well today. I have pictures of the old reservoir if you would like to see it.
Great information. I never owned Lexus/Toyota but your automotive knowledge is very helpful. Thanks so much.
As I'm already subscribed I get notified whenever a new video has been uploaded by AMD, I immediatelty hit the "LIKE", watch the video and life is good!
I knew even before clicking on this video. The screens in the reservoir clog. I've cleaned and replaced so many. Great video.
Good maintenance is a key of happiness. Thank you AMD.
Love your frank and honest content. I have now subscribed so I don't miss anything. And, may the Lord bless you and keep you!
I remember we had an LS430 come in and the right side front passenger door lock actuator needed replacing.
As for the dash, I think there are interior car repair shops that might be able to fix it. All in all, a gem of a car.
Drinking my morning coffee and watching my fav channel. Priceless
Hi AMD, this is the best car channel I found on the youtube so far, so I appreciate all the work you put into. I know you emphasize a lot on frequent fluid changes to keep the car in good condition. I am a bit of DIY person and do my own oil changes. In your opinion is it best to do fluid changes for transmission, coolant and power steering etc at dealerships because they have machines that can do proper job than average DIY method found on youtube? Appreciate your help in this.
I always have the radiator and power steering fluid flushed every 6 yrs. The brake sooner. Love your channel.....
Do you have more details about the upgraded screen? Or at least the name of the company mention at 10:41 . I love that you just don’t replace parts that have failed but actually take your time and ask why it failed. Then sharing how to prevent that failure beyond the normal wear and tear. Always looking forward to your videos. Thank you.
The screen says “Teyes” in one of the app names so i’d assume thats the company name.
@@abdullahipad7664 Was that screen 'plug and play"? or did you have to modify things?
ok, i love my 2018 4runner, but i do have a 2000 gmc sierra with THE SAME POWER STEARING PUMP. Love your videos I have learned so much from watching.
Love ur channel one of the best the reasons logic and no bs stuff
I wish I was living in Chicago area. You are the best mechanic and honest.
Enjoyed watching the video. Thanks. Could you please make one video for Toyota Sienna 2021+ common problems, care tips, etc.? Thanks
Every neighborhood should have a conscientious mechanic like AMD.
💯%
AMD ???
@@ninobravoso AMD is Car Care Nut's name.
I noticed this problem on a commodore 3.8 gm engine. The spout broke , it was so brittle and dark coloured. That’s when I noticed the blocked filter. Great channel you have.👍
Thank you for your priceless advice brother!!! We appreciate you!!
Thank you AMD for pointing out all of the price with replacement parts and the expense in owning one of these Lexus LS 430.
Unbelievable timing with this video. Two weeks ago the power steering cooler on my 14 Tundra leaked from corrosion. It had no symptoms whatsoever , no whining, no resistance in the steering wheel. I only found out accidentally, when it was on the lift for routine maintenance. What was really shocking was the discolored reservoir, I always looked at it as being full, thinking the stain was the level. Great video AMD , keep up the great work. 👍
Thank you for all of these tips sir. They are very much appreciated!
I replaced the PS fluid in my 04 Camry in 2007 by using a barbed hose coupling between the return line and a long piece of Tygon tubing while filling with ATF Dexron III. Since that time, I suction the PS reservoir out and refill it every three months. Fluid color never changes. Enjoy your presentations.I would have you doing a lot of repairs if we lived closer to Chicago. Regards
Wow, I love that upgraded screen! Makes me want to trade my ES350 and get an older LS! Sweet! Really modernizes the car!
Great car!!! I have an 06. Best car I’ve ever owned. My headlights were cloudy but they wet sanded pretty nice and look great now. I used a Rupes mini and Rupes sanding discs to get them back nice. Only other thing I had to do was replace the ECT sensor and PCV valve and the car runs like a CHAMP!! Great video too. I Love any videos related to the LS platform!!!
I had the same issue with the used LS430, it took over an hour to clean the PS Reservoir, I used Acetone it.
The power steering fluid in my 2002 has always been a little iffy, even after I replaced it. The reservoir has that staining too. I'm glad I saw this video.
As always very professional. As a fleet technician I work on multiple brands. I have always owned GM products and I guess I have been lucky because I have never changed a power steering pump on any of my GM’s. Both vehicles are about 20 years old 280k on 1 180K on the other. Multiple GM’s in the fleet I service I can tell you we have never change a power steering pump because of failure a few because of rust. I think the biggest problem is most people do not service fluid. I blame the manufacturers. I’m a new Toyota owner of 2 years so I will see how it holds up. Thanks for the great information you put out for vehicle owners out there. Wish you the best with your new shop.
I have almost the same stereo. I love it. I still have my old stock stereo that works fine sitting in my garage. Luckily everything still works on my 2006 ls430.
I changed the fluid on my Toyota Crown Athlete VX and cleaned out the strainer in the reservoir last year just as a precaution. Glad I did.
For anyone wondering, the head unit is called TEYES CC3 and for 2023 they have a new updated one with full 1280 pixel display.
I worked for Toyota and in 1990 started with Lexus for about 26 years before I had to retire due to a disability. One thing for you to check on the power steering system, is another filter on the power steering rack. The filter is located on the rack solenoid, remove the solenoid, filter looks like a ring. After removing the solenoid, turn steering wheel from side to side to flush dirty fluid out. One of the other common problems for the power steering, was the solenoid not activating, fix was a control module located near the steering column.
Love your videos very informative.. have learned a lot of new things trying to watch all of your videos. I'd have to say my 1996 Acura TL 2.5 5 cylinder runs as smooth as any LS430 I've been in. It has 108k miles and brand new KYB struts all around within the last 10k miles so that could be why. Would love to one-day own a 04-06 LS430 but their expensive repairs is what scares me off. I had a 1995 Lexus LS400 that I sold with 250k miles and even after I put a lot of work into it the car still needed a lot more done to it nothing wrong with the engine and transmission otherwise
I agree, the 04-06 facelift Gen 2 LSs were nice. Glad to know that there's an OEMish Carplay unit that owners can get, as I've not seen that before
I had the same thing with my 2008 GX 470 the resivoir looked like yours all stained. My problem was one day I heard power steering noise, so I learned from your the resivoir has a filter, so I figured my filter finally got blocked off. I bought a new resivoir replaced it and my noise went away. Thanks for your video's!!
I’m so glad you got ls430 content. I got one two months ago and it’s the best. Keep it up 👍
Makes me wonder about the lines and steering rack getting clogged. Thanks for showing AMD
Another Awesome video. Too bad there's no Auto tech in our area that's straight forward, honest and caring on vehicles. Thanks.
Thank you very much to announce this common issue! I cleaned my reservoir by flushing it with brake cleaner and after that with a sour oxide removing compound and after that with isopropyl alcohol to remove the rest of the liquid inside. Also I used an old toothbrush to get inside and scraped away most of the stain. Came out pretty well but watch out to not brake of the lines if you doing yourself while disconnecting the hoses. Also remove the air filter box to get much easier to the lines. I used Dexron III to refill and the difference in colour is night and day! Best Toyota channel on UA-cam 👍
WOW !! ... another super informative video! Thank you ...
Sooooo..where can I get that nifty t-shirt you often wear in your videos?? Thanks for such well-reasoned, clear, honest, and VALUABLE videos about cars! And remember: "Nothing's complicated unless you complicate it!" (I love that one!)
I use Teyes in my Toyota, it is among the best affordable head unit that has quite a lot to offer.
Kudos to the good work you are doing.
I was going to go with the Sonic Beats dual LCD adapter kit and the use a regular DIN mounted Alpine unit but I really like that the Teyes goes in the stock position and has 360 cameras available.
How annoying that we only get the Ultra here in the UK.
Please keep LS videos coming sir !
2006 ls430 86,000miles . Everything mentioned in this video happened to mine .
Steering wheel adjustment ( there are 2 motors for up and down , back and forward) each for $700 in Lexus dealer . $260 at EBay.
Mirror, right was gone , live with it .
Dashboard, buy cover for it from Amazon , nice and protective.
Oil leaking from PVC vovle. Just replace if you have not replace yet . Only $20 .
All the bushing for front and rear sway bar .
Hope you enjoy this old school Lexus .
Great video I watch all your videos I have 2003 LS 430 I bought it brand new
Love your channel and watch all your videos always. I have a 2018 GX 460 and it hit 105k mileage. Transmission fluid never changed and I had a long conversation with Lexus dealer. They say since transmission is pressure sealed. It not recommended to change the fluid and it's good for life time. No one knows what is the life time. Really want your opinion since you worked many years on Toyota products.i saw your other video of changing sealed transmission on Camry. So are they the same or Lexus is a bit different? Thank you
I love the information you provided. Do you have information on adding satellite radio to these cars ? I am planning on doing that to my 2004 LS 430.
Same stained PS reservoir here. I guess I’ll order a new one, it I have ran several bottles of fluid through it already to “flush it.” Mines an Ultra, the PO already replaced the rear air struts, hopefully the fronts last me a while. Just sanded and cleared my headlights, they look great. Now to get the bumper fixed, got rear ended. $1026 estimate there, the other guys car was destroyed - including his “ brush guard” haha. Thank you for the LS430 content CCN! Keep it up. I will continue to fix any issues that pop up on my 430, it’s a very comfortable and reliable cruiser.
Hi AMD, I admire your work and this wonderful channel you created. Enjoyed the video very much. Sorry if this is not the perfect place to ask a question but I am a DIY mechanic and I would love to get a Lexus LS but I think I prefer the LS400 because I think they are much more DIY friendly. Can you recommend a particular year of the LS400. I prefer cars that don't require reprogramming of modules every time you need to replace one. A car that can be maintained with rather basic scan tools rather than a subscription etc. I would love to hear your thoughts.
On the 98 camry Im fixing up, I went through the power steering system, put new bushings on the rack, new lines and hoses, rebuilt the power steering pump, new fluid several times, and I also cleaned out the resivoir. I tried many things to clean the gunk out, but the only thing that worked was carberator cleaner. You have to take the resivoir off, cap off the holes at the bottom, and blast the thing with carb cleaner and the stuff (at least in my case) comes rigjt off. Rinse and repeat, clean the carb cleaner out of the resivoir, let it dry, and thats it! Worked great!
I have a 2001 and 2004 so this is great info.
I bought a 2007 Solara SLE 6 cyl. used with 93K miles back in 2014. It had staining on the reservoir but not quite as dark as this one. Since it was hard to see the fluid I put a new reservoir in. The previous owner gave me the maintenance records and the power steering pump had been replaced at 80K miles due to a hose leak and running the pump dry too long. Seeing this video makes me glad I replaced the res. Just have to replace the leaking valve cover gaskets next.
This will help me fix my GX I have been trying to get that staining out but now I feel like my next move is replacing the reservoir.
Another great video! I've been watching you content for a while. Yesterday I purchased my first Japanese car and guess what it is Toyota. 🙂
Another great video right here.
Love that Camry also parked next to the LS. Love Toyota and Lexus products in general
Very good explanation 👍👍👍👍👍.
Happened to me ages ago. Good video as usual. I'm requesting a vid about LS460 AWD engine mounts replacement. Thank you AMD
LS 460 2013-2017 no issues like the old one
Very clean radios setup 👌
great video as always
My 1989 Mazda MX 6 GT had a custom-fit dash cover on it when I bought it in the 90s. If your car is kept out in the sun for many hours a day, a cover like that really helps prevent sun damage.
Among all the few repairs I have, I would consider the covers for door handles the most annoying problem. They just keep falling off (and expose the silver frame beneath them)! Yes, the side mirror and door actuators are costly but they are only one-time expenses (only the driver door and passenger side mirror as of today). To my surprise, the AC compressor and radiators are still the original parts. They are still going strong!
The door actuators have a tiny electric motor, which is the part that fails. You can take the actuator apart and (check Lexus forum on what & where to buy), replace the motor. Pre-2022 inflation, they were under $10 each. Fix all 4 doors for probably $60 and an afternoon. (( I wouldn't be surprised to find out that Toyota/Lexus uses the very same motors on their Camry ))
The steering wheel movement problem is a worn out worm-drive gear, pull it off the shaft & reinstall "backwards" with the unworn portion in contact with drive gear, and you're good for another ? 10-15 years ? There are lots of OCD people who own these cars, same story as with BMWs, except the 430s have fewer problems, many times fewer.
Nice tip on these power steering
I always liked the LS430. A classy looking vehicle.
you should make a power steering flush video :) would greatly appreciate it
Love your work 👍
I have an 04 Ls430 for the last 8 years with air suspension, now has 200k miles. Been super reliable and everything still works! Only thing that failed was the coolant radiator.
Have it running on propane gas (lpg) fab economy. Cheaper than driving a 2.0 diesel.
Cheaper to run than a 2.0 liter diesel? I doubt that. Unless you’re getting 55 mpg highway, no way you’re doing better than a diesel.
Thanks for another great video. I have a 1995 Toyota Avalon XL with 93,000 miles which I think may be in need of some fluid replacement services. Which of the following do you recommend I should have done? 1. Power steering fluid replacement (fluid has never been replaced). What is the proper way to do this service? I plan to use Mobil 1™ Synthetic ATF.
2. Automatic transmission fluid drain and fill (fluid has never been replaced). I plan to use 4 quarts of Mobil 1™ Synthetic ATF.
3. Differential fluid replacement (fluid has never been replaced). I plan to use 1 quart of Mobil 1™ Synthetic ATF.
Thanks!
That LS is like brand new. That paint looks so slick.
Some auto manufactures recommend a much lower flush interval. For cars that I service, I flush the power steering system every 36-48 months. I realize it with full synthetic power steering fluid and also remove the reservoir and use full strength degreaser wherever possible. If not, replace the reservoir. I just performed this service on an 2005 Avalon and replaced the leaking hoses/lines. It is so much cheaper to flush a system than replacing a pump/rack and pinion unit.
As usual, excellent (although somewhat frightening!) video Car Care Nut. At the beginning of the year I bought a November (but registered March 2013) 2012 IS 350, It has 91,000 Kms (about 57,000 miles) It is what is known as a Sports Luxury so it has sunroof, electric memory seats, heated/ventilated seats, radar cruise control and electric steering column...curious to know your though your thoughts on this car! It's my first Lexus (the realisation of a dream) It's Vermillion fire red with ivory inteior, 18-inch alloys and a beautiful car to behold!
great video! Do you know if that headunit is available for the rx330? Also, I had the tilt steering stop working in my 95 LS400- it was a relatively easy job to replace the motor. Sometimes all they need is to be taken apart and regreased and they will start working again too.
Coincidentally this is one of the first thing I fixed when I bought mine. Tried everything to get rid of the stains and failed. So I cleaned the screen best I could - and regularly drained and filled the oil to replace most of the old fluid.
Can you provide a link or a little more information on that navigation replacement you showed? I have yet to find anything that would retain the oscillating vents. So that was a big surprise! Great video as always, thank you for doing these for us.
On a smaller scale. I own a 98 corolla lift back manual with low ks. I use it once a week and it is always garaged. It looks and drives like new only ever had regular maintenance. I love driving it.
2006 Solara SLE convertible 3MZ-FE 3.3L Engine v6. 205,000 miles garage kept. Routine schedule maintenance. A reliable convertible that drives like a dream. Would like to see more content on this car hard to find. Similar specs to the 06 Camry with slight changes.
1990’s Mazda I ran into had oscillating air vents! Very cool 😎
Buy and leave it in front of the house to look nice. High maintenance car. Wow. Good thing I didn't buy this 2 years ago. Won't want to work on this car with this amount of trouble, parts wise, expensive.
But I did love how smooth the drive was and how quiet it was. Beautiful car.
Glad I watch it through. Can you do more video which vehicles from Toyota and Lexus that are DIY friendly?
I am already looking at some future purchase.
Thanks alot mate learned alot!
What is the power steering fluid needed for ls430?
Very interesting list of issues. As you say, many can be ignored. For me, #1 issue is that passenger side headlight unit. No matter the cost, that would head my list. It has to go!😊
I have seen this before on a old Landcruiser Fj62 and FJ-80. Rare but the vehicles came into the shop after pump replacements and had the whining sounds especially cold. I replaced the reservoirs to fix the problem. Screens were clogged up. Takumi Master -Bill
Awesome video, thank you.
I sanded my headlights and resprayed them with clear paint look like new. The LS430 is worth repairing since you can drive them forever. Our SC400, SC430 and LS430 have been solid cars. Plan on getting the newer model LC500 or IS500 next.
Your super clean shop somehow reminds me of Walter White. Thanks for all awesome videos.
I previously thought about buying an LS430 or LS460 and should I get the opportunity I might buy one but now I know what to look for. I did pick an ES350 2013 so if you can put together some videos on repairing the sunroof I would be most grateful. Thanks, blessing to you.
I just purchased an '06 UL. I have no fear. I will tackle any problems as they come. The car features beat out most current vehicles
I replaced the fluid in my 03 Highlander when a line rusted out. I have found black residue and cleaned it, flushed it again, and now it's getting better.
