Hi, hope you might be able to help me out. I see you own a 1993 gs 300. Do you have the owners manual? if you do can you please let me know what TRAC off - Trac means and also (not sure) the switch that is by the shifter is when you turn it on I think it says ewr or something like that. Thanks for your help and if you want you can email me at mzadravac@fei.org. thanks

I have no idea what and why this happend. I just came home from work and while driving the ABS light first came on and then after that the trac off light and shortly after that the trac lights all lid up on the dash. I really dont know what the meaning of the Trac off and trac is (purchased car used - no manual) does anyone have any ideas for me. I tried to turn if off and the lights still came back on. It was raining today and I am not sure if it is due to the rain. Would putting it on the computer work to read the codes. Any suggestions are welcomed and thanks.

Hi, I have a 1993 gs300 and the back window doesn't want to go up or down. Does anyone know where I can purchase the motor to make the windows work, it's not the fuse. I was wondering if the part from Toyota will work and I really don't want to go to the Lexus Dealer. thanks

Does anyone know which censor would be responsible for turning on the electric fan on the gs300 1993.

Hi, thank you for the response We know that we need to change the oxygen sensor since that was the reason the check engine light first came on when we purchased the car. I know that the fan clutch is not working right, but when I called a auto parts store to order the part they told me that the gs300 doesn't have a fan clutch so I am not sure what the heck it really is. Can anyone suggest a place where I can find a repair manual for this car or if anyone has one can you look and she if this car has a fan clutch. Thank you again for all of the responses that are being sent to me. When I drive on the highway the car is fine but when idle or driving at a slow speed it overheats. :chairshot:

Hi, thank you for the post back on my problem. I am not sure about the history of this car, we purchased it last September and since then we had the timing belt replaced (not voluntary) and now this problem. When we first got the car the check engine light came on as well as another light that I think said track off. I drove the car for about a month or so and the light went off on it's own and it didn't turn back on at all. My husband took the car one Sunday and while he was driving it the check engine light came on but he didn't pay attention to it since this happened before to us. He didn't notice that the temperature went up so high and he noticed it when the steam started coming out of the hood. He kept adding water to the radiator and came home with the car. He replaced the thermostat and the next day I drove it to work, it didn't overheat the temperature showed all normal but when I lifted the hood I had bubbles in the tank. I didn't drive the car for the whole week and then again took it out last weekend and after about 30 minuets of driving the temperature went up high and the car started overheating. I am not sure what to do after this, since we have no idea what kind of problems, if any, did this car have before and now I am not sure if we should keep it or just do a fix and get rid of it. I love the car and have about 115K on it and my husband keeps telling me that once it overheated like it did that it's better to get rid of it. I am in a situation that he refuses to take it to a dealer since he doesn't trust them and I have no other choice but have him do a fix and get rid of it. I called him and told him what you indicated about the water pump and he didn't seem to think that would be the problem and he also said that the fan clutch isn't working properly.

Hi, I was just wondering if you might have found out what the problem was with your car. I have a 1993 gs 300 and my husband drove the car (first mistake) he didn't notice that the temp went up really high after the check engine light came on and before he noticed it the car over heated and smoke along with steam came out. He kept adding water to the car and drove it home. He changed the termostat and now the temp is or seems good at times but the car has bubbles in the tank and the car keeps overheating. do you have any hints on this i have the 93 gs3 and i had the same problem... my car temp had gone up and i added more water and coolant... replaced the thermostat and it was fine for a very good while. well after about a year or so, i got the same problem again. so i took it to a friend's shop and they told me it was the water pump. apparently this is what i picked up... after the car overheats, it blows out the water pump. the water pump doesn't give out at first, but the seals and plastic propellar begin to deterioate slowly which will start to release coolan in it's overflow pipe. they replaced it with a high performance pump where the propellar is now metal and it runs perfectly fine. when and if you decide to replace the pump, go ahead and replace the timing belt. the belt is probably around 20 bucks but well worth it because you're not paying for the labor. since they have to tear down the whole front end, the timing belt is exposed and you might as well change it out. i paid about 450 bucks which is very very cheap compared to the dealership. good luck with your car... take care of it Hi, thank you for the post back on my problem.
