Hello. I have a LS460 L with 109K miles. I have just experienced the power steering motor light flashing on and off; at the same time my radio and navigation system turns on and off. Has anyone experienced this? Is this a fuse issue, I can address, or do I need to head to the shop.

 

Moderators, please move this thread to main forum.

H818R, have you searched the main forum for similar problems?

 

Was there a solution for the power steering light and the navigation going on and off? That is happening to my 2007 LS460.

Thank you,

 

Believe it or not, the issue was with my battery. Once the dealership checked out my complaint, they could not find anything wrong. They mentioned that I did not have a power steering pump, thus, the issue could not be found. However, while checking out my car, they noticed that my battery was low. After replacing the battery, the issue with the power steering light and my navigation system went away.

 

This just happened to my lexus ls460 today driving to work but i just remembered my battery terminal is loose

 

 

Hi body, I have an GS 460 2008 with the same problem. You was solved the issue?

 

alternator/ battery for sure! the electric power steering needs a lot of juice.

 

My power steering light came on AAA towed it to their shop. They check the battery the alternator they were good he said the code came up that Only the dealer has .I am lost. Any help?

 

Maybe a mouse chewed up a wire somewhere or you have a bad ground

 

My 2011 Lexus 460 L AWD j has 28,457 miles on it GREAT car amazing handling in the snow ,ran or just handling twisting roads in the sport mode

My 2016 BMW 750 I (M) cost over $41,000 MORE then I paid for the Lexus

Having owned a ES 350 FWD ( I traded it in 5 months after I bought it and bought GS 350 AWD nice car but it lacked pick up and was not fun to drive

The only reason I did not buy another Lexus LS was the grill and the 6 cylinder does not compare to the BMW 8 Cylinder Turbo

 

Lexus keeps doubling down on that stupid grille, and a six cylinder LS screams engineering laziness.

 

I really would like to come up beside you in my Lexus and put this V-8 on that ***!!! JK...

 

okay so I finally figured out the problem and it’s such a relief! And I just felt i must help everyone else who has faced this issue. It started about 2 months ago and just got really bad to the extent that the navigation and power steering shut off more than 15 times on my 30 min drive.

SOLUTION: 1) the battery terminal. If it’s even slightly loose, it will cause this to happen. Make sure it’s VERY tightly attached.
2) the ground wire is rusted and needs to be cleaned. This is located on the left side of the battery if you are facing the car.

hope this helps anyone facing this issue.

 

Same with me, loose connection!
