steve_n Posted July 8, 2005 Share Posted July 8, 2005 I asked a question in March when my GX470 warning lights (Check Engine+vsc Off+vsc Trac+Slip Indicator) all came on at once after only two weeks and less than 140 miles. Please see the thread in: http://us.lexusownersclub.com/forums/index...showtopic=18799 I wanted to give a final update. The first time I took it, the service at the dealership said a loose gas cap and reset the code. The warning lights came on again within three weeks and about 600 miles. I took it back and here is the diagnosis and fix: CHECKED WITH SCAN TOOL CODE IN SYSTEM FOR LEAK IN EVAP CONNECTED SMOKE MACHINE LEAK FROM CHARCOAL CANISTER INSTALLED NEW UPDATED CHARCOAL CANISTER With the above, the problem appears to have been fixed. This is the same fix two other owners reported in the last posting. Just wanted to share this for the benefit of others who may encounter the same problem. Looks like they had a bad batch of charcoal canister. Steve Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
