need to change the brake master cylinder. how to determine it's w or w/o traction control?

I was told that there should be light "TRAC" or control switch on the board. I did not find them. So mine should be w/o traction control, right?

just change the starter contact. now, there is no broken noise, only air leaking kind of noise. I upload another video on youtube.

UPDATE: just change the whole starter. now it's normal.

in the past week, I notice that my car began to make some noise when I accelerated the car. Then when I turn on the car, if the car make some unusual noise, I can see white steam coming out of back pipe (not every time). I did search online and found it's like exhaust leaking problem. Then today, when I try to turn it on, it just make some noise like gas leaking.


I made 2 youtube clips for reference. Any suggestion?

my RX300 has a fan problem. I should be able to use a fan control module diagram. Please send me a copy. c.wan2000@gmail.com. Thanks.

My 99 RX300 began to have a fan problem around 1 weeks ago.

Once I turned on the engine, the fan will work at MAX speed. The control wheel on the dash board cannot control the fan speed at all. But I could shut down the fan if I press "OFF" on the dash board. It has been like this for about 1 week. Then today, during the driving, the fan suddenly shut down completely, no matter whether I use the dash board control to turn it on or not. I notice that the fan will turn itself on automatically if I leave the control on "on" status for some time. It can last about 1 min, then it shuts down again itself.

it's really hot these several days. it's really hard to drive w/o A/C on.

Anyone have any suggestion about it?

mine is Lexus RX300, 1999. recently, its CEL begins to on and off for a while. last week, it keeps being on and I begin to smell strong gas smell when I start the car. I found that there is some leaking oil on the ground.

another one is that Rear Light failure warning light begins to on and off for a while too. Now it keeps being on.

I am quite new to repair cars. anyone can help me have some idea what problem could be and anyway to repair it by myself?
