Malfunction Indicator Light On?
Hi guys I have a 2009 GS 350 and I attempted to start it today but when I tried to start it up it wouldn't fire up as all the ignition lights kept coming on and I pressed the button repeatedly but couldn't start. After a few attempts I noticed the brake was still down from pressing it while I push the start button but the car still won't start. After a while I noticed none of the lights won't come on so I assume its the battery but then I notice the warning light that came on and in the owners manual they call it the Malfunction indicator Light. It states a malfunction in either the emission control, engine control, throttle control or automatic control systems. It says call the dealer if this occurs which I will do tomorrow.
Just wanted to know has anyone ever encountered this before and if so what was the problem?

So I replaced the battery with a brand new one and everything seems fine now. This was the original factory battery as it lasted for more than 6 years so I assume that was the problem.
