jadsc300 Posted May 19, 2005 Share Posted May 19, 2005 Hi all: I have a 1999 SC300 the only problem it has is that a green indicator light starts flashing on the A/C button. This only occurs when the A/C is turned off and after about 10 or 15 minutes. When it starts to flash - I press the "off" button and it stops but then starts again after another 15 minutes or so. The A/C runs fine and doesnt flash when its on - only when its off. I ran the self diagn. test and it gave me the "00" meaning normal. I've done some research but im clueless. Any suggestions before i get a big bill from the dealership?? PLEASE!!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lexusfreak Posted May 21, 2005 Share Posted May 21, 2005 If the air cond is working fine & nothing mentioned in the owners manual about your concern, I would think there is nothing to worry about. B) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mburnickas Posted May 23, 2005 Share Posted May 23, 2005 yea but the green flashing light wont stop!! It's annoying!! ← My 98 ES does that when I use the AC and then park on hot days. Per my book this is normal. It does stop when I start moving if not, it blinks till the engine temps goes down. I would look in the book for something.

Perhaps I can assist with suggestions. B) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If it blinks then shuts off, then it is fine. I know why mine blinks when there is no freon traveling to cool it, it is too hot. It does this after stopping the engine in hot weather. Then once I restart (ie 10 minutes later it blinks till the compressor has time to move the freon. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jadsc300 Posted June 9, 2005 Author Share Posted June 9, 2005 My light never stops blinking untill I hit the "off" button - Is it possible I just need a recharge? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
