so the car lights start flashing at random times. sometimes at start up and some times while driving

brought to the dealer the dealer said its nothing cleared the codes and charged 110$

couple days later it came on again. and it comes on randomly doesnt seem to be related to temperature or weather.

any ideas ?

its for my friend for what ever reason likes lexus and those reasons dont include the car being reliable or easy to maintain.

Sorry to hear, but can you provide us more details for your friend?

For example

1) any work done on the car recently
2) any other symptoms
3) any modifications

u0073 - Control Module Communication Bus OFF
u0100 - Lost Communication With Engine Control Module
u0123 - Lost Communication With Yaw Rate Sensor Module
u0124 - Lost Communication With Lateral Acceleration Sensor Module
u0126 - Lost Communication With Steering Angle Sensor Module

Sounds like another one with a faulty yaw rate sensor...or even the ECM itself? Here is the yaw sensor's location : https://www.clublexus.com/forums/is-...ere-is-it.html

I would also get your $110 back for clearing codes. Autozone does it for free!

i told him not tot take it to the stealership.

the yaw sensor would cause those codes ?

the car is completely stock no work done 40 000 kms on it.

it has the powertrain warranty but that does not cover electronic problems.

i'm sure the car can be driven for another 10 years with out this causing more than flashing lights

but its an almost new car he just wants it to work right.

You can try a free fix; disconnect the battery for 15 minutes and then re-connect. It will force everything to re-learn and "may" help.

We used to call this "The Magic Reset" on saabcentral! Worked for 90 percent of CEL issues on our 9-3s but weren't always permanent. Then again we drove Saabs so CELs were par for the course lol.
