[@Trongly-on1gi]

thank you for all your information it is very helpful for me known, i am surely will send my pcm out to josh for repair. thankx again

[@maslahabdi6625]

Hi, did you send your PCM out and did that resolve the issue?

[@jamez3x]

Dude this video is amazing thank you so much my anxiety was through the roof

[@davidwell686]

My 2007 Camry (V6) had a the same problem and the dealer just updated the software and problem fixed. I see RX350 have the same issues.

[@caifancaifan6498]

How much did it cost to reset the computer?

[@relentlessmotorsportstx397]

Thank you. Wish I knew you made this video!

You deserve more recognition!

Hi jack i am having this issue(2007 is 250 p2714 p0761 p0894)have replaced solenoids, repaired engine control (repair guy said replaced solenoid drivers set) even though same codes , checked wiring as well vehicle drives smoothly. Fault frequency per once 1500,2000 km's

[@TheKingGosa]

My step sisters has check engine light on and when u drive the rpm stays around 4 and u never feel the car shift out but doesn’t feel like it struggling either

[@asparjoe]

Thank u for sharing this information. Ive replaced the valve body with all the solenoids and im still stuck at 3rd gear. Hopefully this solution will work. Is250 year 2006

[@TheNeveksla]

Did it work ?

[@asparjoe]

@TheNeveksla happy to report so far so good. Indeed it did work. In my country its about 300 usd for the service.

[@abisolamichael9159]

My case I have no error code on the transmission, The error code I have is cylinder 4 misfire. But my is250 2007 pull forward in Reverse and Neutral position

[@_rayvazquez]

I had the same code, I just changed my spark plugs the misfire went away.

[@chabbsmc]

I have P0500, i have checked the vss sensors, the gearbox (physical check), checked the solenoids, serviced the gearbox too.. I'm currently checking the wiring but have no access to wiring diagrams. I'm no mechanic and i have tried so many different technicians to check the car and it has always been a waste of money. Most of the troubleshooting I've done on my own. I'm troubleshooting the wiring without any diagrams which is difficult. I'll be testing the TCM and instrument cluster this weekend. This problem is quite frustrating. Edit: How do i tell whether its the TCM or ECU that needs to be worked on?

[@molefidireko3095]

Hi Jack. Rex here from South Africa. I'm having the same Issue. I have an '07 IS250. Gear sometimes get stuck on 4th and wont go to 5 and 6. When i removed the negative terminal on the battery and put it back say 10seconds later its now able to go onto 5th and 6th gear. Could the PCM be the issue?

[@jackhfletcher]

Hi Rex! Yes, very likely the PCM is the issue. Of course, I can’t know for sure without seeing your vehicle, but I would say it’s very likely.

[@hyrumpina3658]

im having the same issue, did you get it fixed?

[@familyhourz1]

same issue here any update on this

[@elsupremo9188]

thanks for the video, Can I ask I have a 2007 awd and have been told I need a new transmissions because the link from the shifter to the transmission has broken something inside of it. It seems odd that the whole tranny has to be replaced. Do you have an opinion?

[@dhestondh]

I got an 06 Lexus GS300 and it downshifts hard as hell into 1st gear

[@andriikalmuk968]

Fluid low

[@sergiomunoz9874]

Hey Jack how are you good morning how can I get ahold of josh

[@nCognitoYT]

Whenever im at a stop too long, my car would Rev super high with major exhaust smoke white. Is it the PCM? I already did a transmission fluid and filters.

[@LexusIs250-jg5iq]

Car works completely fine replaced engine now lights are on drives fine won’t go in reverse got oil changed still say I need to change oil should I just change my Ecu

[@mohdibrahim1350]

A have similar problems with my ea350. Are you talking about the TCM OR ECM?

[@dame305_]

Could this exact thing be possible on the 06 GS300 models Im kinda positive this might be my problem

[@codi9509]

I have a 2006 is250 with code p2757. I changed out the SLU Solenoid, SLT Solenoid, and SL1 Solenoid,Trans filter, and did a fluid flush. Code went away but came back after going about a mile or 2, no driving issues after repair. Should I contact your guys for ECM update?

[@poncholo658]

Man every Lexus have its own ding mind lol, I just did everything you say last week with all new OEM legitimate Japan parts fresh of the boat because it was a lot cheaper but worth the shipping time wait but then the CEL went away now im having issues where Driving mode just up a little incline and it will slip to like neutral mode unless press on the gas pedal. Beside that the whole driving is normal. I have to switch it because CEL came on and need to be smog. It was driving fine in the first place.

[@poncholo658]

Does your drive gear having locking issues on the incline only?

[@codi9509]

@@poncholo658 no issues after solenoids changed, just the three warning lights wont go away and still reading code P2757

[@poncholo658]

@@codi9509 you already did try clearing the codes again

[@khankta9742]

I have a 2014 is250 and its giving me code p2757 with the check engine light. It drives perfectly fine. Dealership says to replace the transmission. Do you think my issue is the same and maybe just the computer needs updating?

[@jackhfletcher]

Hard to say. I’d probably get a second opinion from a reputable transmission shop. Find someone who’s experienced with Toyota/Lexus transmissions.

[@BonaRasmey]

My car 2007 is250 had similar problems but it was on and off, only sometimes tho

[@ictitiritti]

What was that strange noise on the second start 10:15? Is that normal?

[@marquiñosluneishon]

its a vvt issue

[@gradysmith4478]

it's normal for this gen of lexus is... the cam shaft is loud, definitely doesn't sound good but they all do it.

[@liquidh5226]

My car doesn't have this sound

[@iirevxngx6183]

i have a 2008 Lexus IS250 that had a transmission fluid leak, it drove fine up until i parked it and left it sitting while i found a shop to fix my issue. I found a shop to fix my leak and went to turn the car on to load the car onto a trailer and it wouldnt go into any gear, we had to push the car onto the trailer. My transmission got fully serviced new seals, new filter, new gaskets, and new fluid, but the car still doesnt go into gear. Is it possible that this is a ECU issue?

[@dennisbeck8322]

Hallo Jack, Ich habe das selbe Problem. 2005 lexus 3l gs300. Er schaltet einfach nicht vom 3-4 und er legt den Fehler p0761 ab die magnetventile alle 9 wurden getauscht

Having the same exact issue 2006 lexus GS300 scared to replace transmission

[@BigDipper79]

I have a 2010 Rx350 with the same exact issue.

[@osamatanoli]

Hey Jack, hope you are well. I have the same lexus model and i have 2 very big issues, The first one is my lexus automatically loses horn,lights control, indicator, head lights and steering wheel adjusting button. The second one is my car some time does this problem where my car won’t run when i throttle until the rpm reaches 3 and it kicks very badly(like it just got in gear) and while driving it automatically brakes really hard for 1-2 seconds, tires screeching kind of braking. Please i need help no one can help me solve this issue. We have done computer tests but it doesn’t show any errors, just some normal ones. I will appreciate the response.

[@ChaseHollandMusic]

I have P0761 not shifting past 3rd gear replaced all solenoids nothing changed. Fluid was nearly black normal clutch carbon on magnets

[@JonathanLopez-xd1qu]

Still not working?

[@ChaseHollandMusic]

@@JonathanLopez-xd1qu still driving fine but stuck C solenoid code replaced all solenoids still wont shift passed 3rd gear

[@JonathanLopez-xd1qu]

@@ChaseHollandMusic it’s probably the transmission then. I had to change mine

[@y0ng1988]

hi sir, Recently my 2006 lexus IS250 will skip 3rd gear whenever the engine is not fully warm up. Once warm up the shifting is back to normal. There is no check engine light. Could be this PCM issue too?

[@jackhfletcher]

It definitely could be, but it could also be a mechanical problem too. I’d recommend getting it diagnosed by a competent shop.

[@ChaseHollandMusic]

I have nothing past 3rd gear and shift solenoid C stuck off code. 2006 lexus GS300 do you think it is computer or solenoid?

[@samuelsanchez1903]

I have a 2006 gs300 and I had the solenoid slt stuck. I purchased the complete refurbished solenoids off ebay replaced them. The code went away, but it will sometimes shift correctly or when going near 40 mph not shift and go up to 3000 rpm. I'm thinking of getting the ecm fixed or replaced.

It has a bad cam phaser. Seems to rattle on start.

[@sebastiantrujillo6807]

I’m having the same issue with my 2006 Lexus is250, and I don’t have the money to do this right now. Will leaving it alone damage my transmission or will it only continue to feel sluggish?

[@jackhfletcher]

It won’t do any damage in the short term, but I would plan on fixing it as soon as you can. I don’t know if it would do any damage long term.

[@sebastiantrujillo6807]

@@jackhfletcher I understand, thanks for the answer!

[@bortiz5260]

Same problem on my is350 bro but don’t know if I should change the solenoid or just get a new transmission I know the mechanics be lying and want you to pay to get a new transmission but if you just have to change the solenoid, do you know what’s the whole point?

[@jackhfletcher]

Make sure it’s not an ECU issue. I would definitely get a second opinion before replacing the transmission.

[@okkin981]

Approx how much does this service cost? $500 or more like $2000?

[@jackhfletcher]

More like $500 or less.

[@njdorset1050]

i have a 08 lexus is 250 the car has a 2014 is 250 transmission ( was found to be similar and worked perfectly and is lasting longer) now recently it has an issue where the car runs perfectly when cold however as soon as the car gets warm and under load the transmission starts slipping and loses all drive. do you know what could cause this?

[@jackhfletcher]

Sounds to me like the transmission needs a rebuild. But I would get it diagnosed by a reputable shop just to be sure.

[@lilbaeleaf5426]

hey i have a 08 is 350 and pretty much does the same but my light came on but the code was p0101 MAF sensor i replaced that but its still high rpms same thing for the is250 or no?

[@jackhfletcher]

P0101 can affect engine performance and transmission shifting but it’s not exactly the same issue as I showed in the video.

[@PeterBarbosa-r6s]

Can you just get the PCM replaced?= from Lexus instead of getting it repaired?

[@jackhfletcher]

You can, if you want to spend more money than necessary. I forgot how much a new PCM costs but it’s over $1000 plus programming. It’s better to get it repaired by Josh.

[@dashonh1214]

This is all Lexus second generations IS/GS/LS idk why

[@ROMEOSPRODUCTIONS]

My 2012 is 250 it doesn’t shift from 4th gear, like it stays in 4th and doesn’t go to 5th or 6th it shifts fine from 1-4th but stays in 4th could this be the issue?

[@jackhfletcher]

It’s possible. Give Josh a call and see what he says.

[@mrciroccups]

That’s exactly why I’m here my 2007 is 250 does the same thing won’t go past 4th

[@juanposadas6165]

Did you ever figure it out? My 06 does the same

[@Dxzmndd]

​@juanposadas6165 my is250 does it too if you release the gas at 4th and press the gas again it shifts to 5tht

[@familyhourz1]

same issue on my is350 08, even after replacing the tranny any update on this

[@07_nis23]

Yes same issue

[@poncholo658]

Idk I kind of like this idea but I almost feel like this is cheating the real issue. Like my cousin told me if there's a CEL fix the problem don't bypass it cause you just going to run into bigger issues in the future. I wasn't going to fix mine cause mine was still driving fine but then I need it smog. So I replaced 2 solenoid for code p2757 everything brand new OEM fresh off Japan cause it was a lot cheaper, worth the waiting time. Yes CEL did went away but now having locking gears issue driving up incline. Yes everything the correct OEM Toyota/Lexus parts n correctly fluid type because people say there also 2 type of transmission fluid type also for transmission without a dip stick and for transmission with a dip stick. All new bolts, filter n gasket. Top off fluid and even level fluid.
