#2310 of 4691 Re: Low tire pressure warning light [ecotrklvr] by mikefm58 Jan 19, 2005 (4:32 am)
Replying to: ecotrklvr (Jan 17, 2005 7:38 am) The instructions in my owner's manual on how to reset the low tire pressure switch are wrong. The manual says "after turning the vehicle on, hold the reset switch until it goes off". There should have been en extra step. After holding the reset switch until the light goes off, turn the vehicle off, then back on again and hold the button again until the low tire pressure warning light blinks 3 times.   I'm sure disconnecting the battery would have accomplished this also. I took the vehicle for a 10 mile ride and the warning light didn't come back on again, so everything must be set.

And saved many more people their time and trouble, too. Kudos. Glad it worked. Replies to this message: mikefm58 (Jan 19, 2005 6:13 pm)

My 2003 Highlander has recently started to vibrate nastily while stopped in drive. It vibrates so much that it gives me a headache. Took it to the dealer twice; they said "nothing wrong, it does that when the heater is running (turned off heater, same vibration); it's normal (horse hockey, it just started and I bought the thing in August 2003). Complained to Toyota and they said take it to the dealer (after telling them I took it there twice and I have no confidence in them). I'm going to take it to a Lincoln dealer who used to work on my Towncar. Filed a complaint with NHTS as well. Anyone have any similar problems with successful outcomes?

Replying to: ecotrklvr (Jan 19, 2005 8:27 am) Oops, sorry for not saying that I did take it to the dealer. They were the ones who told me about the entire procedure. And they were great, in and out, in about 20 minutes. Hope I saved you guys the trouble of going to a dealer.

Replying to: ammo-one (Jan 19, 2005 12:37 pm) Someone else a year or so ago on these boards complained of a similar problem (HL vibrates while idling) but like you was unsuccessful in getting Toyota to fix it (if interested click on Advanced Search on left sidebar and search on "vibrates" in this discussion).
#2315 of 4691 Heated seats not working?? by jds4218 Jan 21, 2005 (11:52 am)
Recently purchased a new '05 Highlander with leather and heated seats. The amount of heat in the seats seems fairly modest compared to other vehicles we had seen. The car was checked prior to delivery and was said to be OK. After 2 weeks of listening to my wife complain about the seats I had her take it back to dealer for a recheck.   They apparently held some type of thermometer sensor over the seat and said it was heated to about 80 on driver side and about 72 on passenger side. Calls to Toyota US service center by dealer revealed nothing to do (appears there is no way to increase the amount of heat output) but maybe we are getting the run-around.??...They said the seats were functioning within specs.   Anyone with similar experience or insight into this?

#2316 of 4691 Seat heat... by wwest Jan 21, 2005 (12:29 pm)
The seat heaters in my 92 LS400 consume only about 24 watts, ~6 ohms at 12 volts. Takes a while on a cold morning to even tell i fthe seat heat is actually working.   Don't know the power consumption of the 01 RX300 but it has dual levels and on high you can definitely tell that the heat is ON.

Replying to: jds4218 (Jan 21, 2005 11:52 am) Sounds like you are getting the runaround to me. My '04 with leather are too hot! Since there is no adjustment except on and off I have to turn them off because of the heat. I had a VW GTI with heated seats and it had an adjustment knot from 1 - 5. You could leave it on 2 or 3 and not even use the cabin heater. Replies to this message: jds4218 (Jan 21, 2005 3:32 pm) desertguy (Jan 21, 2005 5:59 pm)

Replying to: desertguy (Jan 21, 2005 12:51 pm) I feel like we are getting blown off. What type of climate are you living in...the winter in TN is reasonable most of the time (20s-30s for low) but sometimes colder...I just think something needs adjustment so we could actually feel the heat.

Replying to: jds4218 (Jan 21, 2005 11:52 am) 04 HL heated seats work like the tranny. sometimes nice heat output, other times just barely feel it. Control of heating is poor. thermostatic control is inconsistant.You are never sure what temperature you are going to get. One of the disappointments with the HL
