ShawnEllis Posted August 10, 2015 Posted August 10, 2015 Sometimes when driving, it might be right after I accelerate (but only sometimes), my dash lights come on as shown in the attached image and stay on until the car is shut down (then they are off when the car is started again). This problem doesn't seem to affect anything else, it is simply the lights coming on. I'd appreciate any advice anyone has on what the issue might be! Thanks, -Shawn
RX400h Posted August 11, 2015 Posted August 11, 2015 How old is your battery? Sometimes a bad or failing cell or two will cause strange electrical things to occur.
VinlMan Posted August 11, 2015 Posted August 11, 2015 Hello, I just picked up 2005 RX330, 74k miles, and have the SAME ISSUE... For the record the following lights stay on : ABS, BRAKE, VSC, TPMS blinks - . DOES NOT OCCUR ALL THE TIME! I KNOW this is a code being thrown, but have any members had the SAME issue with resolution? I have heard faulty wheel speed sensors, brake switch, up to ABS ACTUATOR, even low power steering fluid! ( LEXUS has repaired free for some buyers bad ABS actuators due to widespread failure (& per warranty!) ALL could be cause... Again if members driving 2004-2005 RX 330 drivers have had these codes thrown: WHAT WAS END RESULT(diagnosis/cost?) Seems this is a quite common fault thrown by these models Battery checked, brake ok, tires ok, fluids checked. Would like an idea, as car is new to me and need an idea what I have gotten into-before LEXUS runs a diagnostic... ANY HELP appreciated
ShawnEllis Posted August 11, 2015 Author Posted August 11, 2015 Yes, my battery was recently replaced and the issue was occurring prior to that battery replacement.
VinlMan Posted August 11, 2015 Posted August 11, 2015 Did this issue fix the lights (ABS, BRAKE, VSC, and TPMS blinking, Shawn? Thanks for your help!!!
VinlMan Posted August 11, 2015 Posted August 11, 2015 Battery was checked and was OK....so I am still scratching my head. Vehicle going to LEXUS SERVICE and will get pulley inspected/fixed? (per safety recall) +a "free checkup" If the code(s) is active, I'll have LEXUS decipher it, but its an intermittent issue and must be present at time of scan. Knowing my LUCK it'll be off at time of appointment!
ShawnEllis Posted August 12, 2015 Author Posted August 12, 2015 Viniman, No, replacing the battery did not affect the issue.
sadclown Posted August 13, 2015 Posted August 13, 2015 There may be something wrong with your Instrument Cluster Module. Have it checked.
zahrita Posted March 12, 2021 Posted March 12, 2021 I have a 2005 RX and am experiencing the same thing - same warning lights as listed earlier in this thread. They come in randomly and go away when the car is restarted. My battery is fine. There is no obvious mechanical issues. I recently had the spark plugs replaced. I plan to get the car inspected further to figure why it happens.
RX400h Posted March 12, 2021 Posted March 12, 2021 Are the battery posts' connections tight? Have you checked for any loose ground connections? 1
Albotronik Posted November 15 Posted November 15 Yup, same thing happening to me. Just bought the thing used and boom, these lights start showing up randomly….
