No abs or vsc on sc430...help!

[Lexiguy]

Look what my grimy cream interior was like at last years meeting!

[Zahiedsc430]

Wow! My interior is a state also but slowly getting there....

Just to update everyone I got reluctor rings replaced and sensors cleaned and also fitted a replacement abs green relay in engine bay...and viola!!! Nothing lol!

 

Codes are down to two now....left hand wheel speed sensor and abs malfunction...so next step is to see if I can take out the sensor and see if its faulty and replace...iv read around that it normally gets traction and abs functioning again so here's hoping....meanwhile I put on some new alloys! 

 

18s....9.5 on rear, 8.5 on front....245/40/18 front tyres and 275/35/18 rear....just calipers next...any suggestion for colours? I can get red or dark blue done for free at work but was thinking maybe a lighter blue maybe?

Calipers…gold, silver or grey. Others colours can look a bit street racer ish …said the 60 year old 😉😉

  Pale gold was a factory looking shade on some new cars .

My last SC430…..

Would stand out well with the car colour and the wheels 👍🏻
…or as on done on a blue Rav4 a few years back…

Either way..now your calipers are on full display with the spoked wheels, you are going have to do something ..and soon 👍🏻👍🏻

What’s the going rate for having reluctor rings changed?

I would guess at 2hrs per side plus reluctor rings and dust sheilds.

Hi mate

Garages were quoting me north of 400 but managed to find a friend of a friend who did it for £200...plus £40 parts 🙂

Thanks Bob

I forgot about this forum as I used to be on the other Lexus forum a few years back when I brought my Lexus sc430.

I may be late to the conversation but I red parking brake, Abs and 2 VSC lights on my car and my garage fixed the issue by replacing steering angle sensor and rear arm control arm.  

Unfortunately both Lexus parts so not a cheap job.

I hope this helps someone who may have the same issue
