Ronstang66 Posted April 27, 2009 Share Posted April 27, 2009 I repaired my starter and after putting the car back together it now has a miss at idle and it is showing a constant check engine light. The code scanner at O'Reilly's does not plug into the port under the dash so I do not know how to check the codes on this car. I am sure there is a way to make the car tell you by flashing the check engine light but I cannot find that information. I am hoping you guys can help me out here. Thanks in advance.

17LexusOwner Posted April 27, 2009 Share Posted April 27, 2009 The Lexus has a really ghetto way of checking light codes seeing as it's such a luxury car. Basically all you need is a piece of wire, paper and pen, and a buddy. Check this site to get a step-by-step on how to do it. http://www.lexls.com/tutorials/intro/codereading.html (the guy that made that site is a god) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ronstang66 Posted April 27, 2009 Author Share Posted April 27, 2009 Thank you very much. I knew there had to be a simple way to do this. Now I just hope I can figure out what is wrong with this car and fix it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ron My (UK) car has a different shaped diagnostic port mounted on the engine, as well as the dash one, maybe the scanner would fit that?

17LexusOwner Posted April 27, 2009 Share Posted April 27, 2009 No there isn't a scanner adapter for either one of the LS400 ports. You gotta use the wire. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
