A BIG THANK YOU TO all of you who posted in helping me get a handle on this problem. This place would seem to be a good resource when owning a lexus.

they think its a charcoal filter for emissions. Never heard of a charcoal filter on a car. but hey, learn something new daily. BUt i am just confused of why the "traction control" lamp is on as well and not just the engine light.

actaully it has a 70k mile powertrain warranty from the Acura dealer i bought it from. They took it to the lexus dealer down the street to diagnose. It was not only the "check engine light" but it was also the "traction control" light.. that was illuminated. my wife didn't tell me that until i got home to look at it myself.

We just bought a 2001 Lexus ES300 and the engine light just went on.. i checked the gas cap etc.. any way to tell what this is or what it could be? the dealer is being non-responsive but wants to charge for the test. Just got it 2 weeks ago. it has 38k miles. Any course of action to take?
