1999 Lexus RX 300 Service and Repair Manual
Regular price

Every specification in this 1999 Lexus RX 300 service and repair manual is tied to the exact year, engine and trim in front of you — the 3.0L V6 (1MZ-FE), in either AWD or FWD form — so the torque values, clearances and service intervals you work to are the ones Lexus published for this model year rather than figures carried over from an adjacent one.

Known issues on the 1999 RX 300. Seven recalls are on federal record for this model year. Four of them cover aftermarket lighting: combination corner, bumper, headlight and side marker lamp assemblies sold as replacement equipment for passenger vehicles. The recalled lamps do not contain the required amber side reflectors and so fail to conform to Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standard No. 108; without the amber reflectors the vehicle will be poorly illuminated, and decreased lighting visibility may result in a vehicle crash. A fifth covers the headlight switch, where the headlights and taillights may not automatically illuminate in low ambient light with the switch in the AUTO position, so vehicles following behind may not see the vehicle since no headlights and taillights would be illuminated, increasing the risk of a crash. A sixth covers the rear brake tube distribution on vehicles equipped with the optional traction control system: if one of the dual brake lines fails when the driver applies the brake, the vehicle will feel unstable compared with vehicles that have proper rear brake tube distribution, a condition that can increase the risk of a crash. The seventh covers side and rear glass, replacement back glass that fails to conform to the automotive glazing material requirements written to reduce injuries resulting from impact to glazing surfaces. Owners have filed 224 complaints for the year, and no technical service bulletins are on record. The diagnostic and repair procedures behind each of those systems are here.
Whether you are chasing an auto-headlight fault, inspecting rear brake lines on a traction-control car, or working a scheduled 1MZ-FE service, it keeps you on the OEM procedure and the correct specification for your 1999 RX 300.
