Electrical gremlin

[true blue]

Hi not used the car for a while ,so I disconnected the Battery to charge and ensure no cold weather problems ,all OK Now it is reconnected and reset the ecu Ihave an error message with red triangle CHECK HEADLIGHTS .Local electrical guy has done a check and says no code ,we have checked bulbs all OK and main and dipped beam all work as usual  any ideas as to a solution ? the light is annoying but I am also concerned about the MOT which is due in a couple of weeks. Will this light mean a fail or advisory even though the lights are working OK

Really hard to say... technically only check ABS, engine, airbag and brakes lights are the failure. Lexus is annoying with that stupid red triangle, because it can mean a lot of things from irrelevant to important. What the MOT technician makes out of it is hard to say. I would expect it to result in advisory, but it could be anywhere from nothing to failure, there is a lot of discretion that MOT technicians have and not all of them uses it wisely.

The guy at our local MOT place is a bit deaf so I take my motorbike there. Always a PASS.

Was he always deaf or only became deaf after you started using that MOT place? 😄
