Traction Control Light Flashing

[D-LEX]

Front sensor location

Rear sensor location

Get the garage to check the ABS is all working ok, e.g. see the procedures here

HI MATE, IN THE DIGRAMS U HAVE ON FOR THE ABS SENSORS DO U NEED TO TAKE OUT THE REAR SEAT TO GET AT THE REAR ONE???

All error codes have suddenly cleared up - looks like the faries fixed it overnight

Have already ordered an OBDII reader/scanner.

Will post up any errors when its done.

Actually what I meant is that the all the warning lights ( TRC and ECU ) have gone off and not come back on again.

Will check for the error codes when the reader arrives.

I've had words with the garage regarding the lights on mine and shown them the diagram of the speed sensors. Their response was that they've not touched the area where the sensors are but reminded me that the car has had an accident and errors could appear at any time. They've said that they'll hook the car up to their computers tho and check it out once its been sprayed.

Now I'm really confused.

I always thought that the IS200 is an OBD II type car.

I recieved the OBD II reader today and went to check for codes. Looked in the usual places for the diag plug but could not find it. So Looked in the engine bay and found the old type plug that Toyota uses, where you have to bridge 2 points to read the code off the flashinf ECU light.

Enlighten me, what do I do?

I was confused in the same way. I couldn't find the OBD II port either until I asked on here. It's underneath the dashboard, by your feet (driver's side), pointing vertically down (so you push the connector vertically up into it).

Thanks steviewevie, found the diag port and got the offending reading

P1349 VVTI system malfunction bank 1

But as stated above, the error had cleared itself but on checkin was stored in the ECU - cleared now :D
