Starzenski

Thank you again, Benjamin Tang. Lexus is riding high but that does not excuse the local franchise in Ottawa replying to my letter in such an off-hand manner nor to the failure of the Canadian head office to reply in any manner whatsoever. Regards, Bruce

Thank you Mr. Tang for your accurate and complete reply. Before receiving your reply, I disconnected the battery (your option 2) which cleared up the matter. But should I now pull the ECU fuse to avoid problems with an emissions test?? What does "ECU" stand for and how do I find that particular fuse (I haven't checked whether they are labeled)? Bruce Starzenski

several options: 1) invest in an obd2 code reader that is able to cancel/delete CEL codes. 2) disconnect the battery for at least 30 seconds (but you will lose all your presets) 3) find out where the ecu fuse is and pull it out to reset the ecu. note: option 3 will wipe the codes from memory, and option 2 will not, so if you have mandatory emissions testing, option 2 might be a problem if they check for past codes still in memory.

Both the VSC and the engine warning lights come on eventually whenever the gas cap is not screwed on tightly. How can one turn off these annoying lights after correcting the problem? I am fed up with taking my car to a Lexus dealer for this reason alone and shelling out $55 on each occasion.
