WHAT WE RESOLVE
2nd Gen (XU30) (2004-2009) common module and security issues
SRS crash-data and warning lightSRS service can involve Airbag Control Module (ACM) (2004), Driver Airbag Module (2004), and Passenger Airbag Module (2004). Part numbers and crash-data workflow are confirmed for the exact year/VIN.
Replacement module setupECU/PCM replacement programming, BCM configuration, TCU/TCM cloning, ABS/EBCM setup are represented in the merged generation data. Rows with year ranges do not apply to every model year; verify by VIN.
Gateway, key, and immobilizer accessGateway, key, and immobilizer procedures are represented by 3 merged security records. Access and all-keys-lost support varies by year - verify by VIN.
Shared module fitment
Vehicles sharing these modules
These vehicles use one or more indexed replacement modules from this generation.
Yes. Core Auto Logic supports generation-scoped module programming for the Lexus RX (2004-2009). The merged generation data includes ECU/PCM, BCM, TCU/TCM, ABS/EBCM, and SRS coverage. Rows marked with a year range apply only to that part of the span; unmarked rows are present across the merged generation data.
Which modules are documented for Lexus RX (2004-2009)?
The Lexus RX (2004-2009) generation currently shows 47 core module records across ECU/PCM, BCM, TCU/TCM, ABS/EBCM, and SRS groups. SRS modules include Airbag Control Module (ACM) (2004), Driver Airbag Module (2004), and Passenger Airbag Module (2004). Part numbers and module variants must be confirmed for your exact year/VIN. Reference part number: 89170 0E010 (2005-2009) - confirm for your exact year/VIN.
Can you reset the airbag module on Lexus RX (2004-2009)?
Yes. The generation data includes 27 SRS records, including Airbag Control Module (ACM) (2004), Driver Airbag Module (2004), and Passenger Airbag Module (2004). Bench reset, cloning, and replacement setup are handled after part-number review. Any SRS part number shown for this generation is planning data only - confirm for your exact year/VIN. Reference part number: 89170 0E010 (2005-2009) - confirm for your exact year/VIN.
Do all Lexus RX (2004-2009) years use the same parts?
No assumption should be made across the full span. The generation page merges rows across 2004-2009; any row that does not span all data-bearing years is printed with its year range or treated as varies by year - verify by VIN. Part numbers always require exact year/VIN confirmation before ordering, cloning, or programming.
Can you program keys or immobilizer systems for Lexus RX (2004-2009)?
Yes, where the VIN and security workflow support it. The generation data includes 3 gateway, immobilizer, or key-security records. Key records are present in the merged generation data. Security access, all-keys-lost eligibility, and add-key workflows vary by year - verify by VIN.
How long does service take for Lexus RX (2004-2009)?
Most programming, cloning, SRS, immobilizer, and key-security jobs are quoted after VIN, DTC, part number, and repair-scope review. Service time varies by module type, condition, security access, and the active mobile service path. Mail-in module intake is temporarily unavailable; do not ship a module unless support confirms next steps.
Is Lexus RX (2004-2009) service mobile or mail-in?
Mobile service covers DFW on-vehicle diagnostics, key programming, post-repair coding, and supported module work. Mail-in module intake is temporarily unavailable. We confirm the active path for your exact year/VIN before scheduling; do not ship a module unless support confirms next steps.
