Lexus LS Thermostat
- LS 460 V8: thermostat opens at ~80°C; V8 thermal management is ECU-controlled — thermostat duty cycles more precisely than older engines
- LS 500h thermostat: both V6 main engine and hybrid inverter cooling circuits have separate thermostats — confirm which circuit is the problem before parts replacement
- LS diagnosis: Techstream live temperature data is the correct way to verify thermostat function on LS — not guesswork
- Replace with genuine Lexus part: LS thermostat is not the place to save money — OEM precision matters for flagship V8 thermal management
