Default 5 Error lights.

I started with a full slate of error lights (12 ?) and have gotten them down to just 5 left.

1) Low tire indicator (No pressure sensors in my new tires)...OK Im fine with that.
2) Windshield washer bottle ( Washers are working fine) Whats up????
3) Check engine light. (Dont know how to turn it off after oil change) ????
4) VSC
5) VSC (off)


The last two are an Oxymoron. How can it be both?? Tried pressinf the VSC button, no feel to it and nothing changes.

So what about 2,3,4, and 5 Any suggestions?

If your check engine light is on, the VSC lights are also on. It is Lexus's way to get your attention. Once you fix your Check Engine Light (CEL) then you can shut the other two off by following the directions in this post: https://www.clublexus.com/forums/sc4...s-no-code.html


However, I don't think a Washer Fluid Bottle would trigger a check engine light. Usually it needs to be something emissions related to turn the light on.

Have you run the codes on it yet? Check engine light could be a vacuum leak, depending on the code.

2. Low fluid? Headlight washer?
3. Clear the VSC light. Engine light will turn off.

Unexplainable Electrical Gremlins can also pop up when battery voltage through the system is wack. Look at your negative battery cable for corrosion and/or kinks. Make sure it has a strong corrosion free connection at both ends, not just at the battery.

Plus 2 on the battery reset, it does clear nuisance CELs.
