Have you tried disconnecting the battery to reset the computer?

gs_300

no i haven't but could the work? and if it doesnt what should i do next?

gs_300

i tried disconnecting the battery (unlug positive) but nothing happen. so how long do i have to unplug the battery? so, whats my next move? let me know thanks.

gs_300

one more thing, could this be cousing cuz my check engine is ON? so, if thats the case should i change my O2 sensor? what' do you'll think?

Read the codes first. Get a paper clip, open the hood, find the black diagnostic port on the intake manifold side of the engine, jumper TE and TE1, turn the key, count the blinks. It should be like one blink a pause then like seven more then a pause then a one and the seven more. This would be code 17. Figure out what code(s) you have and let us know.

i have the same problem

klex gs300

i have the same problem too. I followed the instructions of Kaiser but as shown in the attached picture there is no TE, only TE1 and TE2. So I jumpered TE1 and TE2 and after turning the key nothing blinks.

Kaiser

I'm sorry. I meant E1 and TE1.

klex gs300

Oh, you see, Iim going to try this configuration back in few minutes

klex gs300

I did that and: after turning the key the controls "engine check" and "O/D off" are blinking simoultaneously, what may be the case then?

Kaiser

If they blink quickly with no spaces, it means you have no stored codes. Let me read the manual.

Kaiser

Ok. Per the manual there is a seperate diagnostic for trac. Jumper Tc and E1. I'm sure this time.

klex gs300

codes displazed were 54 for ABS and 43 for TRC. Cruise blinks continuesly
Thanks very much for help, Kaiser the Great

Ok 54 is TRAC pump motor operation frequency excessive.

TRAC motor relay ON is output continuously 10 times at intervals of less than 24sec. when traction control is not executed.

Trouble areas:
TRAC actuator
Brake fluid leakage
ECU
TRAC accumulator

43 is Malfunction in ABS or TRAC control system. Basically telling you about code 54.
