Hi all,

I need your help. My 98 GS300 recently has some problems. the VSC, VSC OFF, Engline lights are on. and then the car will entered into "limp mode". The car can only run to max 60 KM/hr even i floored the pedal. I tooked it to the garage and the mechanic said the whole throttle body need to be replaced

So does anyone experienced the same problem like that?

just get the throttle control motor much cheaper and thats what goes out. from what i have been reading. the part number is 89672-30020 go to toyota parts .com there 230 thats the cheapest i could find it. would also get a tps sensor as well 75 bucks

yea but his really isn't the vsc its the throttle control motor which causes the vsc light to come on. we all dont spend hours on here i do so if i can help save someones time all the better....

thanks tom steele for your help. Hopefully it fixes my problem. Some of us appreciate what other members like you do well post feedback if fixes or not. Yup, agree with motor causing light to come on.

I'd say start out with the simple things first. Disconnect the negative terminal from your battery and let it sit for a while. This will reset your ECU and might turn off the light. One morning back in February, all of my lights turned on and my car went into limp mode. Got back home, unplugged the negative terminal, let it sit for a while, came back and it was gone. Haven't had it since.
