SULFUR ODOUR/SMELL FROM EXHAUST
Some owners of Lexus vehicles may experience a sulfur like or "rotten egg" odour from the exhaust system. High levels of sulphur in gasoline cause
sulphur compounds to be deposited and burned off in the catalytic convertor during certain driving conditions. Sulfur is a natural component of
crude oil from which gasoline is refined and the amount of sulfur can be decreased through the refining process. The amount of sulfur content in fuel
sold in Canada can vary from Province to Province and varies considerably between gasoline brands.
On June 23, 1999, the federal government passed regulations limiting the amount of sulphur in gasoline. Starting in 2005, low-sulphur gasoline (that
is gasoline with an average sulphur level of less than 30 ppm) is required throughout Canada. As an interim step, gasoline with an average sulphur
level of not more than 150 ppm is required starting in 2002.
The implementation of the low-sulpur fuel requirement is not until January 2005. If customers are concerned about this issue they should contact
Environment Canada, or their member of parliament.
APPLICABLE VEHICLES: All Models.
REPAIR PROCEDURE:
A sulfur odour emitted from the vehicle's tailpipe does not necessarily indicate that there is an issue with the engine's running condition, but is most
likely directly related to the fuel. If the vehicle is exhibiting an excessive sulfur odour, the following checks should be performed:
- If the MIL light is ON, check for DTCs and repair as necessary.
If no trouble is found after performing the above check, recommend the customer try a different source of fuel.
Replacement of oxygen sensors, air/fuel ratio sensors or catalytic converters will not reduce the odour and will therefore not be considered
warrantable.

PROGRAMMING THE HOMELINK UNIVERSAL TRANSCEIVER
This Bulletin is to advise dealer personnel how to effectively program the HomeLink(R) Universal Transceiver. HomeLink(R) is a universal
transceiver that is designed to operate garage doors, gates, entrance doors, door locks and home lighting systems, as well as security systems.
APPLICABLE VEHICLES: All applicable 1999 to current model year vehicles.
CAUTIONS BEFORE PROGRAMING:
CAUTIONS BEFORE PROGRAMMING THE HOMELINK UNIVERSAL TRANSCEIVER:
- Do NOT use the HomeLink(R) Universal Transceiver with any garage door opener that lacks the safety stop and reverse feature as
required by federal safety standards. A garage door opener, which cannot detect an object, signaling the door to stop and reverse,
does not meet current federal safety standards.
2010 Lexus Truck RX 350 AWD V6-3.5L (2GR-FE) Page 239
- When programming the HomeLink(R) Universal Transceiver, you may be operating a garage door or other device. Make sure that people
and objects are out of the way of the garage door or other device to prevent potential harm or damage.
PROGRAMMING PROCEDURE:
Programming the HomeLink(R) Universal Transceiver
Follow the procedure below to program the HomeLink(R) Universal Transceiver. At the end of this, there are tips and troubleshooting information
that are provided as a useful information guide.
The HomeLink(R) Universal Transceiver, located in the vehicle's overhead console or driver's side visor, has 3 buttons and can store one program
for each button.
First Time Programming
1. Press and hold down the 2 outside buttons until the indicator light begins to flash (after approximately 20 seconds), then release both buttons.
(Please refer to "LED Light Definitions" in this Bulletin.)
- Do NOT hold the buttons down for longer than 30 seconds
- Do not repeat this step to program the remaining buttons. (Proceed to Step 2.)
- It is recommended for maximum range performance to put new batteries in the hand-held transmitter supplied with garage door opener
before training the HomeLink(R) Universal Transceiver.
2. Place the hand-held transmitter 1 to 3 inches away from the surface of the HomeLink(R) Universal Transceiver.
NOTE:
Keep the indicator light on the HomeLink(R) in view while programming.
3. Simultaneously press and hold the hand-held transmitter button along with the selected HomeLink(R) button. Do not release the buttons until
Step 4 has been completed.
4. When the LED (indicator) light on the HomeLink(R) changes from a slow to a rapid flash release both buttons.
5. Test the operation of the HomeLink(R) by pressing the newly programmed button. Check to see if the device operates garage door correctly.
- If the device operates properly, the programming is complete.
NOTE:
Repeat Steps 2 through 5 for each remaining HomeLink(R) button to program another device.
IMPORTANT:
If the garage door does not operate, press and hold the trained HomeLink(R) button. If the indicator light flashes rapidly and then
turns solid after 2 seconds, it may be the "rolling code" type, therefore, proceed to Step 6.
NOTE:
A second person may make the following Steps (6 through 9) quicker and easier.
2010 Lexus Truck RX 350 AWD V6-3.5L (2GR-FE) Page 240
