VSC

[nickd]

This evening  VSC warning, engine light and the ECC light came on (is ECC right? the traction control one) when i started her up.  Car ok just these lights.  Any ideas ?

Many Thanks  Nick

It could be many things but you'll need to get a diagnostic check.  Maybe you mean the EML? One of the most common reasons is o2 sensors.  Even a cheap reader should give you a fault code.

Thanks and it is the 02 sensor,  all sorted for tomorrow!

Nick can you please post up afterwards which side sensor you replace and which brand you will be using thx

Is it a downstream sensor (post cat)? Just curious as the pre cat sensors can cause running problems.

It's the bank 1 sensor 1, so nearside before the cat.  I dont know what any of this means as Dave at Lex Tek told me.  I had no running problems though, as smooth, soft and silent as ever.

That's the same as my fault

Can you please let me know what brand sensor he uses as I have fitted a new sensor but the light has returned with the same code showing - I used a genuine Toyota sensor with the correct part number.

My car drives without fault also

thanks for your help

OK, that's good.  Glad you've got it sorted.  Expensive?

It was a genuine Lexus part (does that mean Toyota?) and i was charged £165 + vat for the sensor and £40 + vat to fit.  No more light on the dashboard!

Sounds about right. I bought a genuine (Denso) one for my GS, I got it from Eurocarparts for £145  if I remember correctly, although Lexus wanted £195.
