Default Default help: 2006 gs300 warning lights galore



Had some lights come on after lowering the car.

ABS light, check VSC on the display screen, traction light, and exclimation mark. The AFS light is also flashing.

Can anyone help with what these mean?

Thanks

Get the trouble codes scanned. Then we can help. Check that you didn't leave a speed sensor unplugged. It sounds like you might have damaged the AFS level sensor by lowering it and not adjusting it, or left it unplugged as well.

Everything is plugged in.

I checked the leveling sensor and that took care of the AFS light, but I still have the "ABS," "Check VSC," and "!" (exclimation mark)

Does anyone know what it could be?

Thanks in advance.

i would recommend getting the codes scanned (as JSM1284 recommended) as it's difficult to determine what the problem is just by flashing lights.


edit: see this thread for possible solution: https://www.clublexus.com/forums/gs-...-vsc-help.html

did you check to make sure your gas cap is on tight enough? i recommend at least 2 clicks. see if that works for you.

Yea, I checked the gas cap too, swapped that out a few months ago for a new one.

I am waiting for the lexus mobile mechanic to come by and scan it for me...

I believe when you get the check VSC it is a sign that you may have carbon build up issues. You may want to take it to the dealer where they will rebuild your engine for you. There is a thread here about it

I wish that was the case, but I have already had that service done. Thanks

Afs is an easy fix. It's the driver side rear. Need to adjust it up to the correct position and it will go away. Other one just need an obd II scanner
