Not that I know 1st hand, however the information from the forums suggests that you can either disconnect the Battery or ECU fuse, although I would get the fault code read to start with. eBay have fault code readers on for a decent price.

Again according to the forums 90% of fault codes seem to be emissions related or those caused by a low Battery or engine miss-firing.

Good luck & welcome to the forum & Lexus

Hi and welcome :)

Yes it is possible but you really should get the codes read before you do it so you know what fault is being thrown up.

If the fault is still there after re setting it will only come back on again until you fix the fault.

Also if it's on and then the car doesn't throw up the fault code anymore then it will clear itself after re starting the car 3 times.

To clear either disconnect the Battery for a bit or take out the ECU fuse. Leave it for half hour or so then pop it back in and the light will have gone.... Until the next time it throws up a fault code which could be straight away.

Replace the VVTI oil filter they are only around a fiver from Lexus and make sure you use a good quality oil of the correct grade.
