Vsc And Engine Light On My 2008 Ls460L

[ervowles]

Just got the VCS light and the check engine light on my 2008 LS460L. Anything I can try before I resort to going to the dealer?

I have the same issue with my 2008 LS460. The check engine light and VSC is on. I took it to a dealer, and I was quoted $11,000 to replace the transmission! I would love to hear from our fellow Lexus owners for a possible alternative to paying the dealer that kind of money! I bought this car for $70K brand new and it only has 108K miles....are you kidding me, Lexus!!!!?????? I thought this car was rated the most reliable in the luxury sedan market! What a disappointment!

What exactly did the dealer say is wrong with the transmission. Are you experiencing problems other than the CEL and VSC warning lights?

I had the exact same issue. The check engine light was for a mixture problem with a fuel injector.

I bought some fuel injector cleaner, dumped it in the tank and went for a drive on the highway. Light went out and I have been adding injector cleaner whenever the light came back.
