Lovelexus2

Yes i hope they will look at it properly. Anyway, today all the warnings dissapeared but hope they can still see what was the problem as the fault code should still stay in history even if its not present... dont want to ignore this and want it fixed as planning a 4000mile roadtrip and just want to be safe its not gonna break down lol...

Good things dont last long. Today after starting a car geting CHECK HYBRID SYSTEM and Check engine light comes up. What a crap car :) just got fixed at lexus 2 week ago and hers what i get again.. anyway booked in for a check on Friday to see what it is..

All done. Car is fixed under warranty and running great again! :) All it was is a sensor fault, it got replaced:) Took them over a week to figure it out though :)

Yes the warranty got transfered from previous owner and yes thats what im thinking if he known about the problems he would have simply gotten the car fized as it would been free. Its just something the mechanic said that these cars dont just brake more likely they never brake mind this happening just 3 weeks after purchasing the car but i can take it as very odd coinsidance lol. Also very curious for whats wrong with the car. They said they gonna let me know more details on Monday. Fingers crossed.

Yes its with Lexus now and im not worried, just sayong what was told by Lexus mechanic the one is trying to sort it. It seems like this problem was there when i bought it. Next time when buying a car gonna take my obd2 lead and laptop to make sure no faults come up :))) courtesy car is nice though:)

Here we go most recent codes from mechanics. They saying that might be problem with transmission. Also these codes appear to be history ones as well abit suspicious as only had this car for 3 weeks since bought privately, even the mechanics say that it might be worth getting money back from the seller as he must have known about problems... thats what they suggesting.. they cant beleive that the car can brake down within 3 weeks of buying a car and the codes are in history... weird....:)

Yh looks like something to do with the shift sensor...battery seems ok

wow they knocked down price on that. Was around 9000 few week back :)

Update. Managed to get the fault codes from diagnostics: B2281 P Signal (Cable-Information does not match to BEAN-Information) B1421 Solar Sensor Circuit (Passenger Side) B1424 Solar Sensor (Driver Side) C1241 Low or High Supply Voltage P0705 Transmision Range Sensor Circuit Any ideas what a combination of these codes would tell whats actually wrong with the car? :) Anyway, on a way home car gets dead again on a traffic light whilst waiting for green signal. Numerous attemts to restart the car dont work with Ceck Hybrid System and red triangle with exclamation mark lighting up on a dashboard... Called roadside assistance also tried to start the but no signs of luck.Got the car dropped to Lexus Croydon garage last night now just waiting for some new from them on Monday. Meanwhile trying to think what is actually wrong with the car also thinking will the extended warranty i got cover for the repairs :) Anyway wish me luck :))

Check hybrid system and red triangle back on again today :( cant wait till wednesday to get it checked...

Cheers guys just gonna wait till Wednesday taking it to Lexus.there must be something wrong with car as this happened but will update as soon as i hear from Lexus :)

Hello everyone, owner of 2008 gs450h here posting first time :) Had this car for 3 weeks now and couple days ago whilst driving home couple miles away got this happened: car lost all its power only brakes would work and warnings came on: check hybrid system and also red triangle with exclamation mark in it. Pulled car over, tried to restart couple time but same warning would come on. After few tries playing with the shifts putting it in R managed to move car backwards and then D and forwards but it would only go in electric mode and had to really push hard on accelerator to make engine kick in, but it would lose all the power again whilst on red lights and had to do same procedure again to restart it then move backwards and only then D light would illuminate and car would start. Anyway took me 30 mins to get home which was 2 mile away(check hybrid system and triangle on all time) :D Next morinng heading to the car with obd2 cable and laptop with techstream to check for any codes, but suddenly when started the car the was no sighns of any errors or anything so started driving and it would drive no problem but still felling weird and first attemts engine would only kick in when really going hard on accelerator or only when battery needed charging, but engine is making more noise now and now running as often as would normally do but its still more noisy and abit rattling when cold and really louder when accelerating also noticed more smoke coming from exhausts..? took car to local garage today to check for any ecu errors and none errors came on.. but it was lexus garage so maybe they didnt check properly. Booked car to Lexus Croydon for next Wednesday but wondering if they gonna be able to find anything wrong.. still got extended lexus warranty so not too worried but untill it gets looked at properly should i still drive the car? Any opinions of what signs that could be? Also qustion: Got obd2 usb cable with techstream software but canr manage to connect to my ecu. the cable has red light which comes on when i plug it into the laptop and it seemed to light up when plugged into obd socket alone with igition on. therefore techstream cant connect to VMI. But it could just be a dodgy cable not my obd2 socked as garage today mentioned that they could connect to ecu.. but i havent seen it so a bit doubdfull :) Thanks for reading :)
