Ls430 2002 Fuel consuming more than usual
My range approx decreased 2 km on every half km. It showed check engine light than I have cleared all the codes (fuel injector - cleaned , replaceed all the oxygen sensor by new one than by changing the catalytic converter). Now there is no check engine light but after few days later mileage is dropping same problem. But still engine maintenance light is blinking. Please help me to solve this issue. (My mechanic says their can be a electrical issue
Range is an estimate based on your recent driving. If you have been thrashing the car then the range will drop faster. It is not a reliable indication of fuel consumption.
If you still have the Check Engine light but there are no codes, then you may have a problem with your ECU.
Have you tried a battery off reset? (disconnect battery for at least 15 minutes)

You need to read the codes from the ODB2 port to get a clue as to the cause.
A blinking check engine light usually means there are active misfires. Not sure what a blinking "engine maintenance light" is (the red triangle?)
Get a scantool, pull codes if any, examine everything relating to the engine ECU, including misfire counts, short-term and long-term fuel trims, O2 sensor waveforms/efficiency, air flow readings. By examining all parameters of the engine/air/fuel system while the car is running, you should be able to narrow down the cause of the problem.
