Does anyone have access to a hard copy of PDF of the factory manual (including the wiring diagram volume)? Thanks

Mike, Is this car still for sale?

I dont know if you still have this issue but I had an 0402 code with Traction Control light and solved it as follows... http://us.lexusownersclub.com/forums/topic/33746-dtc-p0402/

You don't say what year ES you have. Another suggestion is to contact an auto wrecker or salvage yard (we have one of the largest in Canada....called Standard Auto Wreckers in Toronto & another location is in Niagara Falls NY). You can see if you can get one there.....but at that price, I would bite the bullet & pay the $60......just my .02. Welcome to LOC btw. B) Thanks. It's a Year1998 ES300. I guess I found one thread says 33020 is more expansive than 33010. But the dealer just told me 33010 is replaced by 33020 and they are the same. Check out this thread and see if it helps. I ran into the same problem a while back. A few people suggested good on line parts houses. BTW the car is still running great. http://us.lexusownersclub.com/forums/index...c=33746&hl=

Quick note: Car has 150K miles and is still running great. Thanks 98OysterES300 for the parts tip.

I haven't removed it yet but thinking it's the way to go for now (holidays). If I keep driving it like this will it cause any damage? I'm driving it to NYC from Fl. next week. Read my post and see if it helps. http://us.lexusownersclub.com/forums/index...showtopic=33746 What year car and what are the symptoms? Without any info I'd say the 1411 is a bogus code caused by the excessive flow (0402). Focus on the 0402.

I recently did a write up on DTC 0402 http://us.lexusownersclub.com/forums/index...showtopic=33746 Not sure if it helps you. It sounds like you replaced the egr (and I assume the position sensor). If not it is easy to check. If not that I would suspect the VSV.

I recently ran into this trouble code and managed to troubleshoot it through to resolution. I thought I'd post since mine was slightly different than others. Symptoms: Hesitation at slow speeds (between 10 and 30 mph). This was the first symptom. From time to time I would experience severe hesitation on hard acceleration from a stop (for example when merging with traffic on the highway). The car would buck and spit and the Trac Control light would light up and go out. Eventually the CEL and Trac Control light lit at the same time and stayed on. At all other speeds and conditions the car ran satisfactorily. Diagnostics: I bought a code reader and read a DTC of P0402 (Excessive EGR) Troubleshooting: I read the FSM on EGR. It pointed to the EGR valve itself, the EGR position sensor, and the VSV as logical first places to start. I did not believe the EGR was truly allowing excessive flow since the car idled fine. Excessive flow would create a rough idle or inability to hold an idle. The car has 140K miles on it and I figured it couldn’t hurt to pull the EGR to clean it regardless. I checked operation for smoothness and ability of the valve to seat tightly and did not spot any issues. I cleaned it with throttle body cleaner as best I could and reinstalled it. Next I checked the ERG Position sensor according to the manual. It did not give the correct resistance readings at the sensor. The harness end was within the voltage range. I did not believe the VSV was faulty since it would contribute to poor idle issue mentioned above if it was passing too much vacuum. If it was passing too little vacuum, I’d get a different code altogether. I followed the troubleshooting steps outlined in the FSM. All voltage, resistance, and vacuum flows were according to the ranges and specifications in the manual. Fix: I replaced the EGR Position Sensor and cleared the DTC memory. Notes: The car has been driven about 2 weeks and about 600 miles. No CEL light, no Trac Control light, and no hesitation. The code reader I have can monitor codes as they are written to memory even before they trigger the CEL light. This code requires a 2 trip detection to trigger the CEL. So far the memory indicates no trouble codes detected, not even a single detection. I was unable to find an EGR Position Sensor on line or at any local parts houses. Most would tell me it they didn’t stock it or it was a dealer part. I wound up ordering it from Toyota for $49.00. Prices ranged from $42 to $64. Nobody stocked the part (including Lexus and Toyota). Turnaround was 2 days. The part number has changed from 89455-33020 to 89455-33010. Don’t be alarmed if it does not look exactly like the original part. The newer one is smaller and has a different profile. If anyone can recommend a reputable parts website I would be grateful. It was a pain trying to locate this part on line. If anyone has any questions feel free to send me an email.

I am interested in disinfecting my evaporator for my 97 ES300. Can anyone help me with how you acces it for cleaning. In past rides, I've accesed through removable panels. I don't have a FSM yet so pix or pdf's would be appreciated. Thanks - Newbie.

Can anyone tell me where I can get a hold of a FSM for a 97 ES300. They seem hard to get a hold of. Newbie to LOC
