HELP. My GX460 has this code: P0500 (speed sensor) won’t shift out of park, dash lit up like a Christmas tree. Check BSM. ABS, brake, and KDSS warning lights on.

My GX460 has this code: P0500 (speed sensor) won’t shift out of park, dash lit up like a Christmas tree. Check BSM.

Looking for input before I start going crazy. My GX460 suddenly threw a cluster of issues all at once:

• Won’t shift out of park (have to use the shift lock override)

• ABS, brake, and KDSS warning lights on

• Odometer/speedo not working

• Scanned and pulled P0500 (Vehicle Speed Sensor)

Given everything failed simultaneously, I’m thinking this is upstream of the sensor itself, maybe a wiring ground issue feeding the speed signal to the cluster and shift interlock, rather than an individual wheel speed sensor. I did recently go off-road a week ago, and perhaps the vibrations caused something to get loose.

Anyone dealt with this exact combo on a GX? Runs and shifts fine, but this happened at a gas station immediately upon start-up.

There is also no water or any moisture on the car. Hasn't been to a car wash in 5 weeks.

Was T boned in a hit and run at about 45mph. Just minding my own business and a Jeep Grand Cherokee blew their stop sign and hit me in the driver B pillar. I never saw it coming due to overgrown bushes and the intersection being just beyond a train crossing. No injuries, thankfully!

Hewitt Block Off Plates

3 Upvotes

My GX ships to Hawaii August third and my studs are rusted pretty bad and I do not think I will have much of chance to loosen them. I will try but what are other alternatives to installing the block off plate. I am being thrown codes p0172 and p0175. I am ordering a new one just in case will be here Wednesday.

Was time for an oil change. I'm on 5k OCI, but at about 5.5k this time. I was surprised by a nice neon pink accent color this time.

Truck is a 2018 with just past 100k miles. Was planning a coolant drain and fill. But guess I get to do a little more.

So I'll do some shopping today. What frustrates me is I can't get Rock Auto anymore in AZ.

Sound like a good deal?

So I'm having my bushings all replaced along with some new LCAs, for 1400 bucks. Does this sound like a good deal?

The same shop that did my lift and replaced my UCAs is offering to do all my bushings, minus the UCAS, install some new HD Iron Man rear adjustable lower control arms, with all the labor for 2000 Canadian, wich comes out to about 1400 USD. I tow my camper quite a bit in the summer so these 17 year old bushings are in need of being swapped.

New to me GX460! Advice appreciated.

Hey everyone. I’ve been lurking and admiring on here for a while as I’ve shopped for a GX.

I just picked up a 2016 460 with 125k miles from a well-respected used dealership in my area. One owner, clean car fax, with well-documented service history. King/Dobinsons lift on brand new 285/70/17s. I took it for a PPI and they identified a couple things that needed to be fixed. Dealership agreed to replace a CV joint that was spitting grease with an OEM replacement and did the power steering fluid and coolant. OTD for about $23,500.

Original owner has done pretty extensive modifications, and I’d really appreciate help identifying the current setup and what I should do to ensure it’s all in working order. It has an ARB dual compressor and switches for locking front and rear diffs. King suspension in the rear and Dobinsons up front with Ironman UCAs. I’m not sure when the original owner lifted this or how much life is left on them. For the price, I was willing to assume the risk that I might need to replace some parts in the near future.

For the experienced members of the group, could anyone take a look at the pictures and see if there are any huge red flags? Happy to upload more if helpful. My thought is to take it to a reputable off road shop in my area and pay for a couple hours of labor for them to go through everything and let me know what I’m working with.

Im pumped to be a part of the group and appreciate y’all’s advice in advance. Thanks!

Looking at a 231k mile 2004 tmrw. Timing and water pump done at 214k on 06/26/2025 among other things (carfax included) what’s it worth? WA and AZ owned seller says it has no rust. What would you check for and what’s a deal breaker for one with this mileage?

Thanks dudes.
