Lexus RX Hybrid-Specific Repairs & Services in San Francisco
Our San Francisco repair center combines advanced diagnostics with factory-grade tools to address the unique needs of your Lexus RX Hybrid. Our key services and repairs tailored to this luxury SUV include:
- Hybrid Battery Health Testing & Reconditioning
The Lexus RX Hybrid’s nickel-metal hydride (or lithium-ion, depending on model year) battery is critical for seamless electric-assist performance. Symptoms like reduced electric mode engagement, frequent engine cycling, or dashboard warnings (e.g., “Check Hybrid System”) often signal battery degradation. Our specialists perform capacity testing, cell rebalancing, and reconditioning to extend battery life. For severe cases, we offer OEM or premium aftermarket replacements, ensuring your RX Hybrid maintains its efficiency and luxury performance. - Inverter/Converter System Repairs
The RX Hybrid’s power control unit (inverter/converter) regulates energy flow between the high-voltage battery, electric motors, and gasoline engine. Malfunctions can trigger warning lights and hybrid-specific trouble codes such as P0AFA or P0A94, sometimes leading to reduced power or complete shutdown. Using Lexus factory diagnostics, we can identify whether the issue lies in a failing inverter coolant pump, damaged capacitors, faulty isolation, or software irregularities. - Electric Power Steering (EPS) System Service
A common issue in older RX Hybrids is EPS failure, resulting in stiff steering or warning messages. We troubleshoot faults in the steering ECU, torque sensors, or 12V power supply, providing repairs that restore buttery-smooth handling. - Brake Actuator & Regenerative Braking Service
Lexus’s sophisticated regenerative braking system can develop faults due to actuator wear or software mismatches. Symptoms include spongy brakes, ABS warnings, or reduced regenerative efficiency. We recalibrate systems and replace worn components to ensure silent, responsive braking. - Hybrid Cooling System Maintenance
The RX Hybrid’s dual cooling systems (engine and hybrid battery) are prone to leaks or pump failures, especially in high-mileage vehicles. We pressure-test systems, replace degraded coolant hoses, and repair electric coolant pumps to prevent overheating and costly damage. - Luxury Amenity Repairs
From air suspension malfunctions to panoramic roof motor issues, we address the premium features that define the Lexus RX Hybrid experience.
