    Default Interior LED's on MPX Multiplex Toyota/Lexus - "CAN BUS / BEAN ?"

    Hey Guys,

    Ive had nothing but issues with battery drains since my JZS171W Crown was imported. After purchasing the electronic wiring diagram books from YJP i have pinpointed my issue.
    Now Im on the verge of finalizing the replacement of the drivers door MPX (Multiplex) switchboard and hopefully 100% fixing my issue.

    However, in the 6 month $1200 process of hunting for the MPX drain i removed all my interior and dash LED's due to thinking it might be them causing the drain.

    So now im asking, who here has and MPX run car with LED's on their interior/dash/aircon controls etc?
    Do you experience any issues ?
    Is there correct and non-correct LED's to buy ?

    Ive seen many many types of LED's on ebay from COB / SMD , cheap looking and quality looking. Some even say "canbus error free $25 each" but look just like any cheap $2 item. Obviously theres "you get what you pay for" , however can anyone confirm that buying simple LED's from ebay could cause any issues with our cars?

    Post your findings !

    I would rather start from running ampermeter across entire fuse block, thus pinpointing the very circuit that shows the most consumption when there isn't supposed to be any. As an example, I've never heard of enormous current drain from say Altezza owners, though this car also has quite a number of MPX-enable computers in it, and apparently some of the owners have tried LEDs in the interior.

    Engine conversion is when you drive a shitbox which costs a whole LEXUS to own
