How Do you I Unlock my Doors, Charge or Boost: Hybrid Lexus/Toyota 2022-2025?

[@albertn.1742]

Thank you for the helpful video. Regarding the car battery at the back, do we also need to jump that battery? That's the 12v battery correct? The hybrid system is in the front. I'm a little confused on that part.

[@MichaelLinterman]

No, when you boost from the front, it's connected to that battery in the back.

RX is the Goldilocks of SUVs. Not too big, not too small.

Wife’s 2024 RX350H Luxury did with only 1200 miles on it. She pulled in from work and 10 minutes later went back to car and it was dead. Could not get in. Remember I’d read about emergy unlock.

Thanks for commenting, I appreciate it. She may need to look at taking it in to get the non-hybrid battery tested. It may need to be replaced under warranty.

[@mesbahahmed8855]

Thank you for doing this. Is it possible to trickle charge the 12V battery from the spots you boosted instead of going into the cargo area?

[@MichaelLinterman]

No, you would risk blowing the fuse in the fuse box.

[@mesbahahmed8855]

@@MichaelLinterman Thank you once again for saving me.

[@mesbahahmed8855]

Couple of more questions if you do not mind. Is there any ground point in the rear battery compartment? User manual is not clear about it. Is it possible show a bit detail how to use trickle charger to charge the 12 volt battery NX 350H?

[@MichaelLinterman]

@@mesbahahmed8855 ground is connected to the terminal. To trickle charge it, you just simply put the cables on the positive and negative terminal and turn on the charger. Please make sure you have them connected to the correct terminal to not cause failure.

[@TheHouseofChameleons]

Is there access from that rear battery well to the outside? I want to attach a permanent cable for trickle charge without running the cable through the door hatch.

Thank you!

You are welcome

We are not driving the car frequently enough the keep the back boot battery charged. I have followed ur instructions and jump started the vehicle successfully. Thanks a lot. However when I want to manually charge the back boot battery using my smart battery charger, regardless if the cables are deattached, it didnt get charged. Any reason or correct way of doing it to maintain the battery? Thanks

[@MichaelLinterman]

If the battery is completely dead, sometimes the smart chargers cannot detect the battery. If you let it run for 10 minutes to get the battery charged a little, then it should allow the smart charger to activate.

My car is from northwest leaxus Ontario, and the battery keeps dying.

[@MichaelLinterman]

Take it in to your dealer. They can test it and replace under warranty
