Lexus NX: Problem Symptoms Table
PROBLEM SYMPTOMS TABLE
NOTICE:
-
If the auxiliary battery voltage is low, the PTC heater, seat heater system (w/ Seat Heater System) and climate control seat system (w/ Climate Control Seat System) may not operate. When "High Power Consumption Partial Limit On AC/Heater Operation." is displayed on the multi-information display in the combination meter assembly, inspect the auxiliary battery, referring to On-vehicle Inspection for the charging system.
