Lexus ES300

98 000.

What about post cat O2-s?

2002 Lexus ES300.

Check engine is on, code is P0420.

Idle is too low, 300-400 rpm and after 5 minutes ECU throws ABS, TC and VSC.

Any advice?

I found the problem.

I just unplug the phone unit and now everything works fine.

can you recreate the problem?

is the phone on or off?

No, the phone is off and I can't turn it on.

While I drive it comes on with a beep and speakers start working.

If I crank up the volume to maximum, the volume to th speakers is at a minimum, I can hear just a little voice and the quality is bad.

Uuhhhh, another problem.

OK, my 95 LS has a Lexus phone.

Yesterday when I turned the radio on, voice was too low, even on maximum.

After couple minuts, I heard a beep from phone and after that everythink was perfect.

Today, same problem.

Any adwice?

hi from france

lexus ls 400 1990.

i change my power steering liquid every month. Because every month there is a noise like air in the system. It's tired to do this every month. I hope there is something else whose wrong.

thanks all guys for your answers and questions on this forum.

We love our cars.

Welcome men, nice to hear a frenchmen have a Lexus :)

If you get smoke at start up, that means you have to change a Idle Control Valve.

Mine is '95 LS from Canada. I live here in MI and we got a lot of snow, but it goes like a tank.

I have new Kelly Navigator tires and Traction Control.

That's a Toyota Camry LE.

Mine goes left when i pres the brake at 40/50/60....mph.

I have new power steering pump set (o rings, seals....) and I not need them.

The heated seats in my car do not work. When I press the button the lights turns on however the seats do not warm up. The fuses are OK.

What should I check?

Thanx!

BumP:

I just got this 95 LS400 but there is a small power steering leak, maybe 1 liter per month.

Power steering pump is wet.

Is there any trick to stop this leak?

Thanks!

if the pump is wet then its leaking on the outside, so more likely to be the o-rings. The white smoke on start up usually has no visible leaks on the pumps. Is yours blowing smoke on start up?

I changed this o-ring:

The old one was baaaad.

My Lex is blowing smoke on start up but I'll see tomorrow because my car now runs without Idle Control Valve.

'95 Lexus LS.

When I turn parking lights on, they work OK, but while I drive, maybe after 10 mintes rear tail light indicator comes on.

I park the car, I try to play with light switch and after everything works. Rear bulbs are new, brake lights are OK and they works OK.

No problems with the head lights.

Any adwice?

I saw this post and I think I found a problem.

Power steering fluid leak and white smoke at start up.

I think the Idle Control Valve creates the problem.

I'll put a bolt and that's it.

Hi,

The most probably cause is the o ring seal on the reservoir this is available from Lexus at around $6.00 Part # 90080-30040

You need to remove the low pressure return pipe and 3 bolts holding it to the pump. ( you don't have to remove the pump itself)

Remove as much fluid as you can 1st using a rubber bulb type chicken baster then put plenty of rags under the pump to catch any remaining fluid.

Here are some pictures showing the bolt locations and the o ring.

Reassemble then top up the ps fluid and bleed the system.

Good luck

I just ordered power steering kit from Lexus (o rings, seals....) for 20 and some change.

They didn't have it in stock, they told me for tomorrow.

Anyways, I'm planning to change all o-rings.

I'll try to take some pictures to show you how I did it.

Thank you for help!

Yes, it runs OK.

I found at LEXLS how to change gaskets and seals but not how to remove PS pump.

But anyways, I'll try tomorrow to remove it.

The cable which goes on throttle body was loose.

Now everything works OK.

Thank you guys.

P.S. I found this website:

http://www.autoshop101.com/

http://www.autoshop101.com/forms/brake12.pdf

Checked.

Code: 24 - Open or short in sub-throttle actuator circuit

What to do now?

I'll check later but my Lex is 95 year model.

reset trac and abs by pushing brake pedal 8 times in 3 seconds

google: x km in miles

What about ignition? On/off??

P.S. I know one mile is 1,6 km but I like to see on the odometer miles, not kilometres.

I just got a 1995 Lexus LS400 with 355 000 km (Canadian model).

ABS works just fine but TRAC OFF blinks slowly.

Brake wear warning light is on and when I push brake pedal, I notice vibrations (OK, needs front rotors and pads).

Check engine was on, O2 sensor. Erased!

Now Check engine is off and car runs perfect.

Any adwice?

P.S. how I can change kilometers to miles?

Thanks!

Which code you had before?
