Hey Guyz...I need help i have a 2005 lexus ls430 ultra luxury package while i was driving today evening on the dash display screen the error sign came up in red and a message saying check Vsc with traction off light on and Check engine too ....

What could this be

is it safe to drive with the error message on the dash saying Check vsc and red ! mark on the rpm with traction off and check engine light also on

please helpppppppppppppppp

 

see if a obd2 scanner can tell you whats wrong. i had a 02 Q45 that it happened to. it seems that it was a ABS sensor that went bad but i would assume the abs light would be on also.

 

Bro i think its the o2 sensor ....

i dont know where the o2 sensor is located and is it safe to drive the car like this and how much would it cost me to replace it

help plzzz

 

Can anyone answer my questions pleaseeeeeeeeeeeee

 

I think Wildace answered your question to some extent. Have the stored error code(s) read and take the appropriate action.

An endless list of issues can cause the CEL and VSC/Trac warnings ... TPS/PPS, battery, etc., etc. -- way too many to guess at the cause.

Yes, the car is "safe" to drive. I wouldn't want to drive without VSC and Trac in the snow or even in rain but I'm guessing you don't have that problem as much in UAE.

 

Hey Guyz Well I took ma Ride to an outside dealer ( a small shop -Lexus Specialist ) and they charged me 28$ for the computer test and the problem what it said was as follows :-

Bank 2 O2 Sensor 2 ..its on the right side under da passenger seat ..they said its not the manifold sensor its under da front passenger seat its the 2nd o2 sensor ...

well for a new o2 sensor its for 100 $ and for fixing it another 55 $

and then the vsc message would go offf and they do tuning for OEM hydraulic setting too ..lowering the car as i want it ..i.e i wouldnt need to buy an air data controller

 

Where did you do that, i wanna do it tooo. I live in sharjah Dude..

 

Wow gr8 2 see sum1 4rm my town

well dude what ride you got and whats the problem you facing ??

 

This just happened on my '06 GS300

any thoughts

 

I think its basically the same answer when you get one of these codes. Take it in and get the code read - in most cases the code will specify which part is broke and needs repair or replacement. Until you get the code read and come back with a specific defined problem no one can comment or provide thoughts.

 

so 3 days later

vsc , cel and brake light all on normal driving and a tightened gas cap. end up going to dealer. they check everything say tighten the gas cap and explains how we didnt wait long enough for the light to clear.

 

On GM cars, it requires something like three full-temp operating cycles to clear the gas cap code. Each cycle consists of starting the car when cold, driving the car, and allowing the coolant to reach full operating temperature before shutting it off.

Ford has a better idea on my Lincoln: a dedicated idiot light for the gas cap.

 

yeah when i lower my dad ls430 lexus his vsc pop up

 

My 06 just gave me this error. $200 later it was fixed- needed a new gas cap.
