I was sorta being sarcastic, Lexus CEL go on if you drop a tennis ball too close to it. I wouldn't worry about it if the light didn't stay illuminated.

There is an accumulator next to the master cylinder on the driver side under the hood, get a plastic line and attach it to the nipple and the other end into a bucket and loosen the nipple to remove any air from there. Also attached to that accumulator is a high pressure line, check if it is cracked/hard/bulged/damaged.

I have been trying to locate this hose by itself but it comes with the accumulator as a set. Got a used one for 50 shipped off of ebay.

PS. If you're going to replace, before you take anything else apart, save yourself a lot of hassle and see if you have the tools to remove the hose first. The transmission dipstick wont allow anything over an inch in width in between and u need a lot of torque to loosen that sucker.
