Thank you for your information. I registered in lexus driver website and downloaded the manual. The I/O button is not standard lexus button as shown in the manual.
It has the same looks as the picture link :

I found the picture from lexus club forum
http://www.clublexus.com/forums/ls430/452376-the-diy-nav-display-unlock-bluetoot- h-unlock-and-nav-destination-input-while-driving.html
 
I have no clue what the button is about. Maybe someone did the same thing as the forum post. Why did someone unlock the bluetooth/nav ? What is the purpose ?

... aftermarket modification is done by some to interrupt the VSS input to the navigation/bluetooth system to enable some of the locked out features while the vehicle is moving.

Ah....a HACK! Now it makes sense. So it allows you to program while driving?

Normally, the navigation system locks out the ability to program a destination if the vehicle is moving. When the vehicle speed signal is interrupted, it thinks the vehicle has stopped and thus a person can program in a new destination.
 
Of course, when the signal is restored, the navigation system has to update its new location, leading to a jump in location. Some versions of the software occasionally have problems, but mostly it is able to deal with the conflicting location information.

'92 LS400 SRS airbag. by wwest

On-board diagnostic code 41. Supposed to be an indication that some fault that was recorded was intermittent and/or has now been fixed. Dealer service manager said he reset the code but it came right back...???
 
Tricky sequence to reset myself so I haven't been successful.
 
Does anyone know if the airbag will still trigger with only this code..??

Code 41 is set whenever there has been a diagnostic code in the airbag system. If the proper code clearing procedure has not been met, Code 41 will always be displayed. It is possible that Code 41 is displayed as a result of a center airbag sensor malfunction.
 
    * After repair of the trouble areas, the diagnostic code retained in the ECU memory must be cleared out by removing the EFI fuse (2OA) from J/B No. 2 for 10 seconds or more, with the ignition switch OFF.
 
HINT: Cancellation can also be done by removing the battery negative (-) terminal, but other memory systems (clock, etc.) will also be cancelled out.
 
    * If it is necessary to work on engine components requiring removal of the battery terminal, a check must first be made to see if a diagnostic code has been recorded.
    * After cancellation, road test the vehicle to check that a normal code is now read on the "CHECK" engine warning light.
    * If the same diagnostic code appears, it indicates that the trouble area has not been repaired thoroughly.
 
NOTE: code 41 appears in a number of different systems of the car, not just airbag system. So the tech has to be in the right system. "41" can also mean deffects in ABS or Height Control.

I was running the onboard diagnostic and the airbag light "blinked" 41.
 
I had switched out the instrument panel and apparently the air bag system had detected an open indicator bulb.
 
Finally cleared the fault by ignoring the shop manual instruction insofar as timing sequence. Says 1.0 seconds +0.5 seconds in each position when what really worked was less than 0.5 seconds.

Yes I've often found that some of these reset instructions are a bit lame. Anyway, let's keep our fingers crossed.
