I believe I have the same problem as the previous topic, 'battery indicator light'. I noticed it yesterday when my stereo quit outputting power followed by the 'trac' and 'abs' lights coming on. I assume the alternator was not functioning at 100%, although the battery light would go away above 2500 rpm.
Since my powersteering pump is leeking all over the Alternator, i've decided to install a new seal kit for the pump at $60 from lexus instead of buying a reman. pump for $150. I found the best prices at autozone.com.
I'm wondering if i can clean the alternator, or if i need to buy a new one at $250??
Since the steering fluid is probally just shorting it out, I figured I might be able to clean it up after install the pump seal kit.
Another mystery is why the ABS light comes on when the battery level is low, does the sc400 have electricly powered brakes?
Thanks for your help guys!
