Re: how to disable the parking brake sensor on lx470
Simply hook it to a togle switch. Hook one end of the switch to ground, hook the other end to the jensen, then you can flip the switch off and on to make the jesen think you are using the parking brake

You say 'Crank, no start', but you also say 'it will not turn over'. They are the same thing, if it cranks, it is turning over, but not 'firing' or 'starting'.
After you disconnected the battery, did you reset the Security System and Engine Immobilizer? You know it has one, that flashing light on the dash?
If that doesn't fix it, an auto electrician with a $5,000 professional grade Autel scan tool will be able to diagnose the entire car in 30 minutes. A $130 scan tool is garbage.
For your Lexus this may be the same as a Check Engine Light, which is telling you something needs attention.
Take the LX to an Auto Parts store and asked them to scan your car for codes stored in the engine's computer (ECM or PCM). They'll usually do this for free.
Possibilities:
- Loose gas cap
- low brake fluid
- O2 Sensor(s)
Also, Your LX is very similar to the Toyota Sequoia which also had VSC issues. Search online and you may find your answer.
The hydraulic system that operates your brakes will not work if any air has gotten into it. Check your resevoir , if it is still full , then I would guess that the brake Master Cylinder is worn out.
The system can be refilled , and the air bled out of all the lines , however , if there is a leak in the system or the master cylinder is bad your problem will not be solved.
Try turning your air system off and jack up the SUV. move the control arms around, then up and down the best you can. Let the SUV down on the ground, take a look to see how level the SUV sits . It should reset itself when you turn back on the air supply system. If not, you may have punctured or damaged one or both of the airbags if you lifted the SUV without turning the air off first. You may get lucky, but remember to shut off air supply if you have bags for suspension in the furture.
Is the suspension fluid low. If it is, try first to add specific Suspension Fluid for LX470. It is part number 08886-01805 and any Lexus Dealer would be able to look up. Cost about $ 30 it comes in 2.5 Liters. If driving at higher speeds it is normal for it to drop just a bit and resume to balanced height when parked.
Pull the wheels off the back of the car. remove the rubber plug on the rotor hub and rotate the rotor to where the hole is on the bottom and look in there. you should be able to see a sprocket. take a long flathead screwdriver and move it up or down until the rotor does not freely move. then turn it two times in the opposite direction. do this for both sides then you should be good to go! good luck!
