VSC warning

[Dannyboy007]

help please ladies and gents

 

I have recently purchased a IS250SE 2006 plate 81k mileage and this morning I received a warning light VSC and engine / wheel slide warnings. The car has been put on a diagnostic which is showing catalytic converter problem, does this sound right?

 

if so any ideas on where I can get this repaired at a reasonable price?

 

Thank you

Hi Danny

The check lights are just a general fault indication and can be caused by a number of issues.

Sometimes, they can be triggered by something as simple as the fuel filler cap not being screwed on properly. If the warning light came on shortly after you put fuel in the car, just make sure the cap is properly fitted - I kid you not.

Otherwise, you need to have the fault diagnosed by someone with the correct software (techstream) and knowledge before forking out on expensive repairs.

Did you get the fault code from the garage ?
