Rx300 - Mil Light Question


The Josh

Recommended Posts

All, we drove my wife's 2002 RX300 from SC to WV over the weekend. The next day, it threw 3 fault lights at me (Check engine, VSC and Trac off). We are home now and the lights are still on.

It runs fine though. The VSC and Trac Off lights only come on after the engine is started and has been running for about 5 seconds.

Any ideas? My shop wants $30 just to clear the code.

Anyone have the same issue after a long drive??

Thanks in advance,

The Josh

You'll want to see what the codes are, for that will tell you what triggered the lights. Autozone or similar will check your codes for free. If you find the codes, post them and we can tell you what they relate to.

The CEL could have been caused by something as simple as a gas cap not on tight. I would first reset the light and if it comes back you know you have a valid code. If it never comes back, who cares what it was. Save yourself $30 and reset it yourself. Just pull the EFI fuse for a minute or pull the neg battery cable for a minute.
