2005 Lexus LX 470 Service and Repair Manual

This 2005 Lexus LX 470 service and repair manual is keyed to one build — the 2005 model year, the 4.7L V8 (2UZ-FE) and the Base trim — so the clearances, torque values and diagnostic steps you work from are the ones Lexus published for that combination rather than figures carried over from an adjacent year of the LX 470.

Known issues on the 2005 LX 470. Three recalls are on federal record for this model year. The first covers the side curtain-shield air bags: the air bag control module may be improperly programmed, causing the bags to deploy inadvertently, and an unexpected deployment can increase the risk of occupant injury. The second covers the steering shaft, where the snap ring can disengage if the vehicle takes an unusually severe impact to the front wheels; with the ring disengaged and the steering wheel repeatedly turned to the locked position, the shaft can over time become disconnected, which could result in loss of steering control. The third covers the headlights: the daytime running lights do not meet the luminous intensity standard, a condition that could blind the driver of a vehicle driving in the opposite direction. Owners have filed 9 complaints for the year. The diagnostic and repair procedures behind each of those systems are here.

Whether the job is chasing an air bag fault, inspecting the steering shaft after a severe front-wheel impact, or a scheduled service on the 2UZ-FE, it keeps you on the OEM procedure and the correct specification for this 2005 LX 470.
