APPLICABILITY:

INTRODUCTION:

The 2013 model year RX350 is equipped with a direct-type Tire Pressure Warning System (TPWS). Each tire (except the spare tire) has a tire pressure warning valve/sensor that measures tire pressure data. The data is transmitted to the Tire Pressure Warning System antenna/receiver and then to the Tire Pressure Warning System ECU.

During Pre-Delivery Service (PDS) the tire pressure warning valves/sensors must be activated for Japan-built vehicles by following the activation procedure in this TSB. NAP-built vehicles do not require activation but both Japan-built (VINs start with "J") and NAP-built (VINs start with "2") vehicles require the TPWS to be initialized by following the initialization procedure in this TSB.
