- This video shows the inner workings of an Electric Steering unit from a late model Lexus. You'll see many small intricate machined components as well as a million bolts and fasteners. This unit is a marvel of engineering, and it took many hours to disassemble it. Enjoy!
A few tools I used in this video...
BFH - amzn.to/2rAKq2j
Flex-head ratchet - amzn.to/2rBGwq3
Drill bit set - amzn.to/2jRzfOy
Milwaukee drill - amzn.to/2IaJzf0
Metric sockets - amzn.to/2KUDtkX
Pliers - amzn.to/2rCkZh7
Slotted Screwdrivers - amzn.to/2rAgp2O
lets see reassembly now
I love that, I wanna see it too
Impressive engineering going on their. Like a earlier comment it looks like it wouldn’t be out of place on a aircraft.
No kidding, the whole unit was built like a tank.
It's like watching surgery in space. Awesome video. I've got one that stopped working and was wondering what it looked like inside. Thanks for the video.
You bet! Amazing how many little parts go into these parts!
How Komplex the stuff gets - just to turn left and right... Insane... Fantastic...
No kidding, very intricate stuff. This one was also power telescoping and power height adjustable.
@@PatonHaus tengo un lexus gs 430 de 2006, trae este tipo de dirección?
I like the aluminium details all look like aircraft landing gear, nice peace of metal
Good job mate 👍
The sound of metals clanking... so good
Good stuff!
I wish you showed the power steering in operation- maybe a steering wheel added to the column shaft, and a pulley and weight on the output shaft past the motor. The steering wheel adjust ability was shown which was interesting.
That would have been cool for sure, but at the time I wasn’t able to without the computer side brain to give it commands.
Good Job, please continue with the rest of the car now!
Thanks! Now I know exactly what they are talking about when they say it has electronic power steering!
I'm assuming this is almost exactly what I would find in my 2016 Lexus ES 300h which currently has 258k miles and still going strong with zero issues! I never want to buy a non-Toyota vehicle since owning my Lexus for 4 years now! All cars should be built as reliable as a Toyota!
A great video my friend. Congratulations from Venezuela.
Very very intricate, would you be able to reassemble it though if needed? it makes me appreciate though why many luxury cars cost so much more seeing all thats involved with them.
This was definitely a destructive disassembly, this will not be going back together. You're right about luxury quality, this thing was a tank and it's only one of many engineered components that go into a Lexus.
That's why they do not fix them when they break, the prefer to replace them instead, too long to tear a part and reassemble
super interesting! thanks!
Very interesting video...but it makes me want to cry seeing such a complex and amazing mechanism being taken apart and destroyed like that! I would have wanted to keep it as it is and play around with, maybe use it on a robot or something! When you connected power to the motors, it was so cool to see it moving.
It sure is an amazing piece of equipment! I kept all the good bits and pieces for future projects.
Nice.
Too good
2:11 very nice brushless motor
Extremely satisfying!
Str8 up machinist shit here!!
#Genius
Thanks
I like DYI, but I haven´t the enough courage to do that, there is a lot of know-how in this operations
Nice channel really
nice. what year is the lexus??
Excellent!
My wheel has ceased to move forward. Can you adjust it manually then disable the motors?
Thanks for the video - were there any components that could accept grease? Obviously the internals had grease - I mean serviceable grease fittings? I didn't see any....
The whole thing was sealed shut, nowhere to add grease. I suspect due to it being inside the car, not exposed to the weather, and fairly low usage I don’t think Toyota ever expects this assembly to need new grease.
tq my friend good boy
Plastic gear!? Must be some good stuff
It is, the plastics in this unit are very high quality.
So I have a question I had a 2012 Toyota Prius C, now I have a 2022 Toyota Corolla hatchback. I use it for driving school so we sit there between 30 minutes and one hour practicing the three point turn and parallel parking. And the steering seizes up and shuts down to prevent overheating. My question is, is there a way to prevent this from happening or a way to call the system down so that I can continue practicing parking and so forth
Can you fix my Infiniti FX50S telescoping steering column?
You are such a nerd.... just like me x). Is the rack hight adjustable?? Is it for adjusting for ride settings or is it the steering column that rises up and down? Looks extremely over engineered! What did u do with it afterwards?
+creamtube This is the mechanism attached directly to the steering wheel, so these adjustments are to the actual steering wheel itself. It's VERY over engineered but it is a crucial safety component after all. It's all sitting in a box to be pilfered for future projects.
Ah, i see.Very very cool system and engineering
Most rx350 develop a rattle on the steering column, I plan to replace mine but I wonder if I can fix it. I was searching for a video to diy and found yours. Is sooo complex !! After dismantling this rattle did you any replaceable part that maybe the culprit of the rattles??
Absolutely not, this is a non-serviceable component.
Hi! I have a 2009 Lexus GS probably with a similar steering column. I have a B2611 Telescopis Position Sensor or Telescopic Motor error. The telescopic function is not fully working and it's stopping after few rotations of the motor. Can you tell me if the position sensor is integrated with the motor or it's a separate one? What do you suggest to inspect in order to solve this problem? Thank you!
where the noise come from ?
sweet
Pls, I got a 2008 GS350, lovely ride but my steering gets hard intermittently, it gets hard to steer erratically and stays like that till I put off the engine. Error code is C1528 -motor rotation angle sensor. What does this mean and what can I do???
Wow!
g'day. Maybe you know what sensors are used in EPS system? I know torque, vehicle speed and steering angle sensors. Can you give more detailed information about them or give a link to a repair manual of any car that has EPS? appreciated.
doea rx400h power steering computer need to be reprogrammed or just plug and play with another one?
good
my steering wheel not smooth,steering shft replced,but the problem exists,can y give me any reason for that
My Lexus has a vibration in the steering system. Recently, I checked under the dashboard/steering system and found that the knuckle top shaft has some play, I then noticed that retainer clip 2:26 was off or loose. I could literally slide it up and down. Could that loose clip be the reason for the shaft play?
I will eventually disassemble the plastic collar covers to get a better look.
Hi did you solve the problem ?
How to remove bearing at as steer? U not remove that.
Anyone had any luck with C15B2 code with VGRS on Toyota/Lexus? This video is great for the mechanical side, but doesn't show ECU or connections. Cheers.
I bet if put it back again
you disassembled a new steering gear? and what about that you are drilling into? you damaging it. Is that really your plan?
It was scrap metal and I took it apart purely for the video, it was all properly recycled afterwards.
Perhaps they could the motors much faster.
WOW... I'd have to say in this case you get what you pay for.... Now I know how each of my Lexus car's steering is made up of.... Basically a small hidden Rocket launcher built in the steering column. 😬😁😂😂😂😂. Ok now I'll pay you $1 whole dollar too put it all back together!!! 😂😂😂😂 Seriously awesome video 🌟💯👍🏁🏁🏁
Truly amazing stuff, Lexus is on another level! Thank you for watching!
can you put it back together?
Absolutely not
That look intense
i have lexus 470 that developed a gap in steering , had the bushes checked & they were fine. Tech says this issue is common in Lexus which comes due to malfuntion in some electrical compotent in steering shaft. can you help me which could be that. thanks
@trqmj yes it is
That only adds more weight. A electric hydraulic pump is better and wont cause a serious accident when it goues out
Arguably an electric hydraulic system would be heavier. This system doesn’t have a fluid reservoir or hydraulic lines. If this system ever fails it just defaults to manual powered steering. Hydraulic steering failing is even harder to steer because you still have to steer against the pressure of the fluid.
@@PatonHaus two quarts, alluminum and rubber hoses more weight..
I wonder if this couldn't have been simplified. Over-engineering perhaps?
i can take it apart! just as easily !...... putting it back together is my problem!. haha
Hmmmm.. Now what?
😂 ❤
Ahh so this is the thing that will fucking turn sharply left or right over a bump as a way of giving you “feedback” because it is a sports car.
holy crap, I'm dizzy now
Самое лучшее видео что я видел. Огромное спасибо Друг !!!
I need some help
do you know what specific lexus?
I'm not sure, though I bet they use this unit in many models.
@@PatonHaus that's what they do
I looked up the Denso and Lexus part number - appears to be off of an RX350/450h

somehow it made me realize how cheap cars actually are.
Absolutely, when you see how much engineering goes into one small component of a Lexus it makes all "normal" cars seem very cheap indeed.
@@PatonHaus Not Just lexus. All modern vehicles with electronic components are complex. even the "normal" car like
@@dappa211 Very true, though when looking at upper tier brand like Lexus or Mercedes it seems that each part is just that much more complex, and definitely more robust (and expensive).
What is he looking for ?
The insides.
Lexus biggest problem
90 percent of the cars on the road get away with about 10 parts. Another compelling reason to not buy a new car!!
10 parts? Are they pedal-powered?
The rack, pinion 2 seals 2 boots 4 clamps maby 4 parts to the case thats about a manual rack needs, my pugoet added a piston for power steering. These new racks are out of control, in the case of fords literally out of control!! @@PatonHaus
arty Berkhoff In all fairness, the steering column in my video is a complex electrically adjustable column. The average electric-assisted steering vehicle will have far fewer moving bits and really just the one motor to assist with the steering. This system sure beats dealing with a power steering pump and fluid. Also I’m not aware of any new vehicle being sold in North America that still comes with manual steering.
I will give you a million bucks now put it back altogether.............this is a joke, a piss poor design, the more the components the more likelyness to fail, sadly that s the reality, and more expensive to achieve a function,
It’s certainly very complex but it’s so incredibly overbuilt I doubt these units ever fail.
