All of these lights came on for no apparent reason. I check with computer based OBD reader, and I'm getting code P0049 (Turbo/Super Charger Turbine Overspeed). Weird code considering the lack of turbo or super charger on the GX. I cleared the codes, but all came back after a few miles of driving. What code P0049 is pointing to? My truck is 04 GX470 with 74,000 miles.
View 6 Replies08 RX350 with ~100K miles. Two weeks ago the Check Engine/TRAC light were on, VSC light blinks, so I tightened the gas cap, and pull the negative and cleared the code. Hoping this is just a gas cap issue.
2 weeks later all those lights are back again, so my mechanic pulled the code and came up with P0128. He told me it should be the problem with the Coolant Temperature Sensor. The water pump, thermostat was replaced last year and coolant level is OK. No issue with coolant temperature and the car drives like normal. My mechanic cleared the code and told me to drive it again until the lights come back and he will pull the code again.
08 RX350 AWD
08 Avalon Touring
SO all three lights came on and wouldn't go away.
Ran a scanner for code and got p0430.
Took it dealership for estimate or fix.
Go figure : code summary: Causes.
Reported fixes or Causes: for code p0430
- catalytic converter has failed.
- Air fuel ratio sensor
- Bank 2 cat converter
- Bank 2 (A/F) ratio sensor
- Oxygen 02 sensor
- downstream Oxygen 02 sensor
- Exhaust pipe
- Mass Air flow sensor
So I am waiting thinking ok let be one of the above causes or fixes that is cheap.
I had a check vsc, engine light, and trac light come on... I got the code checked and it returned P0300 only. That was three days ago (5 totals days of the lights being on) and today I start my car up, and all the lights are off.
I've only had my 2007 ES 350 for 5 months. I bought it used with 48k miles on it. I'd been advised it probably need new plugs since none of the coil codes hit... should I still be concerned? should I still replace the plugs although the lights have gone out?
Tonight, during a short ride, all the sudden the VSC TRAC, VSC OFF and Check Engine came on. Atfter home, I got the P0057 code from a OBDII scanner. The P0057 code indicates O2 sensor on bank 2 lower sensor. However, the interesting thing is I also lost the power seat adjustment on the seat memory. When I switched between L1 and L2 , the mirrors and the steering position changes and the seat did not. However, the adjustment buttons on the seat itself work correctly. I wonder if this problem associates with P0057?
View 4 RepliesI have a 2007 RX350 and these lights come on intermittently --> TRAC & VSC LIGHTS ON. ALSO ABS, BRAKE LIGHT. When I turn the car off and on again they would disappear. So I cannot take it to Autozone (For code read) because the problem goes away when car is shut off/on.
I believe it is tied to the front brakes which are new but the steering wheel shakes when braking. I had the rotors turned a year ago and it seemed to have fixed the problem but now the shakes are back and so is the light problem.
This makes me think that there is a loose connection (Wire / connector) around the front brakes.
I recently had a CEL code for bank 2 cat converter.. I drove the car with the CEL for 8 months and one day the VSC and TRAC OFF light popped on and wouldn't go away. I took it to toyota and they told me that it is because the check engine light is on and once the CEL goes off the others should as well. Well i recently replaced the bank 2 cat and cleared the CEL and iv driven over 300 miles already the CEL has not come back on but the VSC and TRAC OFF light remain ON....
View 2 RepliesI've got an 01 Tundra with 170k and no trouble. And a 01 Highlander 4 cylinder with 330K and no trouble. We just added a 04 RX330 with 170k on it. It had an impeccable 15 page Lexus dealer history.
That said, I had the check engine, Trac off, and VSC light come on about a month after we bought it. I used my acton scanner cleared it out. Then I noticed the gas cap was loose so I attributed the issue to that.
Yesterday, the lights came back on again. I have not cleared the code this time. My scanner is showing a "P0420 Catalyst Efficiency Below Threshold Bank 1" error. This car has a brand new cat installed by the Lexus dealer about 6 months ago.
I saw the buttons below the dash that say Trac off on them.
The trac off light and cel came on, don't know what caused it, I'm due for my first maintenance soon ..
View 4 RepliesI bought my wife a 2005 Gx470 this past weekend. She has only driving it for the past 2 days. (still had gas in the old car, which is now for sale) She called me and said the VSC light off light came on and the Trac light was on. I did some quick searching and couldn't find anything definitive on what or why the lights came on for. She got gas yesterday, but probably only drove about 40 miles. I asked her if she tightened fuel cap until it clicked, she said she thinks...(crazy pregnant woman).
I'm trying to avoid a trip to a dealer on a car I bought 5 days ago. Also, how to reset the codes without a computer? I know my GMC truck, I just unhook the battery for 30mins or so and clears all codes. Hoping Lexus has a cheat too
Got in the car today, first cold day of the year , minus 8C. Start the car and the engine light comes on. Trac locks off too. I went straight to the dealer , they took it in right away. After about a half hour the technician comes up to tell me that the mass airflow sensor is no good. He has ordered a new one. Apparently the new version has a different part number which indicates that it may have been problematic. He cleared the light and it stayed off all day. Part should be here in a couple of days.
View 2 RepliesThis is happening intermediately, maybe 1 out of every 5 starts.
Using the override I can shift just fine and the lights go away within 2-3 minutes. However, there's obviously something misaligned here. Search revealed potential brake switch issue (my tails and brake lights are fine so no issues there), lockout issue, or a park neutral switch.
So I took the panel apart and I am trying to isolate these potential issues, image attached, what I need to do next? I am more of a visual person so if someone can circle the part I need to disassemble or replace that would be most useful.
So I was under the hood and was checking something out and unplugged the MAF sensor for a bit and put it back. Put everything back to the what it is, but now I have TRAC OFF on my display and Check Engine Light.
View 1 RepliesI was driving on the freeway and the trac and engine lights came on.. Noticed that I am no longer getting the Eco light when coasting. Ran the codes and it's P0157 and C1201. I have recently changed tires, not sure what other reason can cause the lights.
View 14 Replies2006 gs 300. Been driving car around and the 3 lights came on which are vsc, Trac and check engine light all at the same time. Replaced the 2 front O2 sensors but the light keeps coming on and off. When I drive the car the car hesitates to go over 25 mph.
View 14 RepliesI'm occasionally having a scary issue with my '13 RC450h. There are a couple of parking lots where the transition from the parking lot to the road is not particularly smooth and the speed of the other cars on the road require that you get up to 50mph pretty quickly.
When I hit the gas then hit the bumps in the transition, the TRAC light turns on and power to the wheels is lost for a couple of seconds (exactly the opposite of what I want to happen). Is this happening to other people or is this something that needs to be looked at? Is this just a result of traction control and I need to remember to turn it off when leaving a parking lot and entering a busy road?
My 2004 Lexus RX 330 with 116,000 miles has a check engine light on. The code was P2198, the problem: Bank2 Sensor1. I replaced the O2 sensor myself, easy, at $180. I erased the code and the check engine was back on the next day. Not sure what to do next.
View 9 RepliesMy A/C seems to be not working. Auto mode has fan blowing but only hot air coming out and the A/C light is blinking. Did some searching and performed diag and returned codes 21 & 24. Code 21 due to performing test at night. Have not been able to find reason for code 24.
View 14 RepliesMy service engine light is on and the tech at Quick Lube said this is the error code that is reporting. "P0446 EVAP Control System Vent Control Circuit Malfunction". Is the car safe to drive?
View 10 Replieswhere best place to start looking for what's causing p0442 code on my 2005 rx330? and its not the gas cap... also have a "c" code identified for the VSC light, states that its wheel speed sensor. evidently wrote the wrong code down, i had it listed as a c1290 but in looking them up i couldn't find that one.
View 6 Replies"VSC OFF" light came on the other day. I took my RX350 to the dealer. The dealer said Heater Element sensor is bad. They didnot have this part in stock. I googled this part. Nothing comes up under that search. I took it to Autozone and the code came up as Mass Air flow sensor. Are both of these same thing?
