Hi everyone,

I've had my 1992 SC400 for 3 weeks and I am loving it(180 000 miles). I've been roaming the boards and have observed that most people here are very helpful and friendly. I feel honored to own such a vehicle and to be amongst such knowledgeably people and hopefully will have the opportunity to attend some of the meets this year.

Since I purchased the car, the trac light has been coming on constantly. As I start the car, a humming comes from a device in the engine bay. Beside the passenger side strut tower.

I pulled two codes tonight by jumping TC & E1 from the diagnostic plug under the drivers side dash. The codes I’ve read are: TRAC 43 & ABS 53. If anyone has a moment to reply/post or p.m. the meanings I would greatly appreciate it.

I also have the infamous shudder at 41 mph. The trasmission seems to be confused between 3rd & o.d.

 

ABS is probably the antilock brakes, when you have a brake issue the traction light will somethims come on for a major problem. I would get it checked fast

 

morris,

Thanks. Rarely do i see any other problems with abs on here. I will have it checked soon. Any idea on the meaning of the codes?

 

Nope sorry I am OBDII so I dont have to guess on the numbers. The scan tool just tells you exactly what the problem is but that ABS code is almost certainly a problem with tthe brake system.

Call Lexus service and ask them to tell you.

 

I appretiate your help morris.
