Default 4GS Check Engine & Trac Off Light

What is up the great people of Club Lexus!!


I am extremely close to just sending this car to the Junkkk Yarrrrddddd!

my battery died on the car and after jump starting it I let it run for a while and turned it off and then back on and it’s good.

But now I have two beautiful lights just RIGHT THERE !

have y’all seen these or know anything about these?

How old is the battery? what's the voltage sitting and running? OBD scanner will tell you what the check engine is about.

the battery is about 2 years old, last time I did an oil change (a month ago) they said it was good.

it died because of a light that stayed on. I watched this video on YouTube & it cleared it

I'd charge the battery and report back once it's fully charged since it was drained by a light being left on.

That's normal after a dead battery. Charge the battery and then start your engine again and it should clear.

I concur with others...when I changed my battery the same two warning lights came on initially.

After driving it for about 5min or so, parked, shut it off and restarted the car - the warnings went away.
