Hello. I have a LS 400 1990. Recently, the break fluid is leaking badly. I found out the leak was coming from the trac actuator pump. I took the pump out and found out that the 2 O rings was bad and cause the leak. I took them to all the local parts stores but could not match them. They all either bigger or thinner. I went to the Lexus dealer to buy but they said dealer do not sell the O rings separately. I have to buy the whole unit that cost over 2000$. I felt that Lexus is very ripped off!!! Do you know any way to fix this problem or some place that I can buy the O rings to repalace them. Much thank you!

I have paid 337$ every 6 months for basic liability only. I live in Hawaii and the cost of living here is so high. Gasoline cost 2.25 per gallon for 92.

My car has same problem with the front one. When you have it replace I want to buy the 2 front one from you. Thanks kinhoang@yahoo.com

Hello I have exactly the same problem and dealer also recommend the same thing. I decided not to fix because atleast in Hawaii I don't think we really need the traction control because the weather. However, I notice that from the begining, if I step hard on the accelarator. The trac light does not come on like if I take it easy when driving. Reason why I really do not know. You can try like that to see how your car react. Let us know if you ever find the solution. Good luck.

Still lucky for you all. I live in Hawaii, my 90 LS400 get full tank for average 300 mile. It means about 13 - 14 miles per galon either on free way or city because roads here are so short in crowed. We pay $2.15/galon. Just wonder after the Iraq war, why oil company still have reason to keep jacking up the price instead of dropping it? Happy day you all.

I had the same problem and still not yet figure it out yet. What a bad felling driving an LS with that orange thing!!!

Hello Lextek Where can I buy the computer and how much does it cost? I did found the computer in the glove box but does not have another one to replace it. Thanks.

Thanks skperformance. I was thinking the same and try to take the switch out to inspect to see if there is any loose contact. But I could not pull out the switch. Do you know how? Do you think the switch itself goes bad and need to be replaced? Thanks again.

Thanks you all for the tip. I will replace air struts to normal shocks. Still yet I think Lexus should have to do somethings about this if we all write a complain to tnem. I have just change my front and rear air struts less than 2 years. Now its front is leaking again. What a rip off. Thanks again.

Hello all. My 90 LS 400 has a problem. The out side rear mirrow just quit working this week. I did check the fuses and all of them were good. Does anyone know what cause the mirrows on both sides stop working? Thanks.

lexusman91ls400 I have the same problem and still yet not figure out how to fix it. Dealer recommended to replace the accumulator for 750$ part itself. The trac light still come on even when I turn off the traction control switch. This means my traction accumulator still work which does not need to be replaced like dealer sugested I guess! And probably it just some sensor does not work caused this but I still not yet find out which one. If you get your problem fix please let me know. Thanks. P.S... did you try to turn off the traction control switch to see if the trac light still come on or not? Also try to go to batauto.com to learn how to retrieve the code. There could be one of the sensor malfuntion disable the trac control.

skperformance Thanks for the advice. abs light does not come out and I try to check accumulator line, they are OK. One thing I noticed that I thought if I turn off the trac control then trac light won't come on, but it still does. I do not understand why!

Hi JPI I don't know how find the code. I tried to read the guide at batauto.com but still don't nderstand how to do that. Can you tell me more detail how to do it ? Thanks.

Should try to buy a new one. I saw it in action now on ebay.
