Members  1 First Name:Peter Toyota Model:Landcruiser Sahara Year: 2017 Location: Western Australia Posted January 21, 2024 We have the same problem. 2017 Landcruiser Sahara. I have been to a dealership who said they fixed it. They thought it was a wiring connector malfunction next to the windscreen rear view mirror. The problem returned after 6 months. They showed me how to reset the "limp mode" when it happens. Close all doors. Turn on engine. Turn off engine. Lock the car using the key switch. Unlock the car using the key switch. Repeat this two (2) more times. (total of 3 times). The system resets, the messages disappear, the car is out of "limp mode". This is great, except at the moment the problem returns about 20 minutes later. Yes, it is frustrating but worst of all, depending on who you talk to, dealers included, everyone has a different solution, but nobody has the final solution. At least, I have been told that I can keep driving the car whilst this error is displayed as long as I am aware that the pre-crash system won't work. I must say that otherwise, I think this car is an absolute beauty. Does anyone have a magic answer?       Peter Lanski, did you get a magic remedy from anyone? Have had the same issue, takes out cruise including of course adaptive, lane departure, Does not derate the engine,  Not sure I've done this properly being 1st time on this forum club.  Pete.B.  WA

Cheers, 2017 land cruiser, mods, done 100 k over 5 years. towing a lot of those Ks. happy to receive information and if I can give info as well.

Hi all Just thought I post my 2000 Prado 3.4L, 5 Speed Manual, 352xxx kms, LSD, Dual tanks (not the SUB pump into main) Still got some suspension work to do on it and tyres but goes well. Just installed 2x solar panels on the roof cage (still have a 3rd as a fold out) and future upgrades is wheels, winch bullbar and exhaust. It's just gonna be more of a tourer/mild 4WD so not gonna throw too much at it Cheers

Evening guys, Got myself a 2000 Landcruiser Prado and slowly attending to the neglected suspension but I noticed after changing my inner rack ends, it's been leaking (not sure for how long) I know how to change these racks (not impossible but maybe awkward) and I know it can be cheaper maybe getting new seals and getting a mechanic to do it but just wondering if anyone has had any luck with a new power steering rack off Ebay (the $250-$300 ones). I've read reviews and they don't seem to have any negative results and obviously the Prados are also overseas (Tecomas). Just alot easier for me to change on my own then to go without a car (as possible chance, it be my home on wheels if getting evicted) Cheers

Essentially you can stick the screw driver on any bit of the engine, but the closer to a rotating part the better, but if there are zero noises when the car isn't being driven, including with your head "under the bonnet" with someone revving the engine, or turning the wheels (if your car has a power steering pump) or when the aircon is switched on etc.... I would say that it's unlikely to be an engine bay related noise. From what I've seen in your posts over the years, I'm glad that you're car can't talk..... because it wouldn't shut up about how much it loves you 🙂 Given that you don't plan on selling it (unless I tell you this weeks winning lotto numbers... and even then.....), changing the wheel bearings won't hurt. Keep us updated mate 🙂
