First thing to try is disconnect the Battery for 5 minutes to reset the ECU, see if that clears the lights ....

Have you had any work done on the car recently ? Engine warning light could be the Lambdor sensor.

Are you near to a Lexus dealer to get them to look at any fault codes tomorrow morning - if they are open?

This is the engine management light, Something has or about to go wrong with the engine.

The sluggishness is the limp home mode

Get to lexus dealer ASP using Roadside assistance from whatever motoring organisation you belong to

disconecting the Battery will not cause any problems but the problem may just reapear ,cant do any harm trying though,do you belong to the aa ,rac, etc

There is no need to post the same topic in different forums, TOPICS MERGED !

many thanks

As for your problem, disconnect the Battery for about 30 mins. This hopefully will clear the faults from the ECU.

If the problem persists contact your local Lexus centre asap.

Disconncting your Battery shouldnt do any harm other than resetting your radio and clock etc

Best regards

i wouldnt worry to much with the check engine lights...........

reset the ecu, and leave the car till tommorow, if they do come on again, you will possibly find that driving will be fine.

i had this problem a couple of years ago, the fault came and went over a few days, in the end it was found the main cat had failed
