Maybe the replacement has damaged the reluctor ring somehow?

My first thought would be take it back to whoever did the work and ask them to sort it?

Iv taken it back to the garage they have open it back up & double checked everything 

The garage guy did clean the ABS sensor but it was easily taken out & fitted back no force to suggest that gone bad.

Hi guys.

I had my front o/s wheel bearing changed 2 days ago.

since then 3 lights ABS, Traction & an orange Hand brake light come on now & then.

They not on constant but they do come on & go off the brake pedal seem to sink a little bit when the lights are on.

Any ideas why this is plzzzz.

Cheers.

Hi guys…

Cheers…

Hi Umar. No you won't have to change your headunit though it will have to be removed to access the speaker wires so as to connect the line out converter. The Alpine sub is compact and has its own power amp on top of the box under an easy removable cover. Like I said previously Umar find a car hifi shop and get them to do it. They'll be able to do the job in just a couple of hours so overall it'll cost a couple hundred quid Including price of the sub. Plus you'd get a guarantee. 

Wow two other members having Quad Amos. I've had my 405-2 and 44 with Keff 102c (with a dedicated subwoofer designed and made by Wilmslow Audio) for easily 35 years. Not in use for a number of years till I moved into my current property so I roughly wired it all up and shocked myself and neighbours lol, forgot just how loud and clear it was. 

Thanks a lot appreciate all the good advice iv had from you guys if I get stuck I’ll be back on 

once again thanks 😊

Hi Umar. First off find out just what you've got in your car. Colin has posted the 3 different systems for your car. Forget the rest he posted tho. Also ignore the use of a capacitor and a frequency cut off gizmo.

Worst case scenario is you have the 6 speaker system. No problem. 

You Will need a line out to get the signal from the radio unit. This turns the output from the speaker wire to a phone out signal where you plug a phono lead from that then route it to the boot of your car to connect to the amp to power the sub. You'll also need a good wire from the battery positive routed to the boot (not forgetting a fuse just after the battery inline). You'll also need an earth, a good one. Then a sub speaker of your choice. Personally I thoroughly recommend the Alpine SW-815. It's only an enclosed 8" but by feck it blows 10 12 and 14" in to the weeds.

Sounds complicated and it can be if you're not that way inclined to part strip your car to route wires and cables. I suggest you find a car hifi shop and get a quote.

Some people don't rate the ML system. Unfortunately theirs must be duff. I'm on my 4th. 1st one was duff but the other 3 superb. 

Oh and in the 80's and early 90's I was a semi pro car hifi installer so I know what I'm talking about unlike others. 

Hi Mr Vlad

Thanks for the detailed information my car has the 6 speaker set up.

As you mentioned an Alpine sub & Amp etc that sounds like a good idea.

Will my oem head unit run the Alpine sub & Amp or would I need to replace the head unit aswell ?

I,ve got the ML system and its an excellent high quality system which i think is much better than Bose.

Really wow I’d luv to hear it haven’t heard a ML system

There are three different audio system in the CT. 

Standard 6 speaker system with the amp integrated into the headunit.

10 speaker system with separate amp and sub, provided on vehicles with Nav.

13 speaker ML system with separate amp and sub.

 

If you have a standard 6 speaker system then you would need the amp, headunit, sub, sub housing and wiring to upgrade to the 10 speaker OEM system.

Thanks mate appreciated I have to find the full set up I guess 

Wow complicated stuff why couldn’t Lexus make it a nice & simple good system.

I’ve been driving my S3 last few months over summer it has a Bose oem system just speakers no sub but it soo loud base & sound quality is awesome

here is an image from the lexus repair manual

its called a condenser

 

Clueless mate I haven’t a clue what that diagram is I’m not good with wiring ☹️

there is a crossover in the wiring of the car for the dash speakers

you would need to bypass this to get full range from the dash speakers

the basic headunit wont have an output for a sub so you would need to

purchase a 3rd party sub system and probably use high level input to connect

the sub to your headunit

Hi mate 

Thanks for the reply where is this crossover wire is it a simple job or a pain lol..

So if I swapped my headunit for a ML & fitted the ML sub would I be ok for sound…

Hi guys…

My CT200h has the standard  crap sound fitted.

Even though I upgraded the dash & front door speakers to JBL GTO series 3 the sound is still crap.

What I wanted to know is the oem subwoofer that comes in some CT200’s are all the subs Mark Levison or are the different makes ??

If I get a oem subwoofer would it work ok with my oem headunit ??

Cheers.

Hi mate.

Me & my friend took apart the EGR yesterday what was meant to be just an EGR clean ended in...

Removed EGR the cooler & the pipes connected. Cleaned out the EGR cooler & pipes with brake cleaner.

Removed & cleaned the Throttle body with brake cleaner.

Also removed & cleaned the Intake manifold.

End result after 6/7 Hrs working perfect job The rattles missing shakes all gone.

Drives perfect now 👏👍

Cheers mate 

Hi guys...

My car has had the knocking rattling & misfiring issues for a few months now...

Now it’s got quite bad my engine light is on when I had it read it said Miss fire on cylinder 1...

Im going to hopefully give the EGR valve & the Pipe a clean on weekend depending on weather... 

Does anyone know if I remove the throttle body & clean that too would I have any issues on re fitting throttle body ???

Cheers. 

I think sound quality depends on  how you like listening to your music IE loud low bass treble etc....

Low tone & not loud then yes CT200 audio is Okish..,

This is my 1st Lexus overall a very nice car but I was very disappointed with the sound system.

I changed all my oem 6 speakers to 6 JBL GT series speakers & still the sound is no good at all.

Over all I’d say the sound has improved by 5-6 %.

I have used the same speakers in other cars & the sound has been great but still v disappointed with the sound.

Audi VW Merc etc have much much better sound systems.

Id just upgrade your head unit put in a 10” JL audio sub & Amp & you would get great sound... 

Hi guys... 

Does anyone have an after market Xenon kit installed in their CT200 ??

I wanted to know if the bulbs are a H11 or H7 ??

cheers

I had this once in the winter of 2017 and it’s never done it since. I use fuel injector cleaner every other fuel fill and the system is very clean now. Sometimes you’ve got to drive them hard as they’ll get coked up quickly.

Ok cheers mate 

I drive my car quite easy I’ll give it some thrashing see if that helps lol 

cheers 

Hmm ok cheers mate 

I’ll get it looked at sounds scary at times as if the engine is knocking 

But engine is fine regularly serviced etc 

Hi Guys...

My car has started making a juddering / knocking sound are low speed driving  (10-15mph)..

It won’t make the noise if it’s running on Battery power only makes it when on engine power & when I come off the accelerator.

If I drive very slow uphill it will start juddering but once it gets to around 16/17 mph the sound is gone... 

Has anyone else experienced this on their CT200.

Cheers.

Just realised that what you mean by theft sensors are the lnternal movement sensors which are controlled by the switch by the front interior light. 

Correct mate 

I thought I’d switch the sensor off & see if the alarm keeps sounding.

I tried it one night off & last night switched it back on the alarm was ok it didn’t go off through the night.

Turn it on again tonight Umar, then report back tomorrow !

Will do 👍

Hi guys

I turned the Theft sensor off & on last night before I parked up for the night.

And guess what it was ok no alarm sound through the night...

Strange 🤗

Hi guys 

Thanks for the replies.

Couldnt find any flies in the car the windows where all shut & the remote is working fine too.

I find it a bit strange.

The only thing iv noticed is when I turn car off the dash display say key Battery low ?
