If your wheels spin, then your TRC light will flash :D this in turn then tells the ECU to not rev, stopping wheels form spinning :o so to speak :D link to both :)

well no because he has to plug in the obd2 think its called that when that was done it was just the cat which i expected because i have no cats at all but he unpluged the throttle senser there is 2 one for low idle the other for the rest when he ubplgged the low idle the light went out now does this mean that it is that or he seems to think it could be the stepper motor in between

I dont think its your stepper motor.

So you have fitted new injectors, did you have it all set-up for this (mapped) or just fitted new injectors ?

Rsarin + Daz, when new ECU fitted did the fitter use voltage clamp, if not, the old ECU will still talk to new one and will not understand what going on :duh: causing your lights (trc/eng/man/light) to keep flashing :o

my traction controll light is flashing constantly can some one tell me what this means you cant turn it off or on

thanks

daz

The garage that has/had your car should have the facilities and capabilities to diagnose and cure that for you mate :)

snap daza,mine started this morning aswell.my probs are different tho.but its the first time ive seen my TRC light flash non-stop.i think they are all mentioned as take to a lexus dealer as only solution in the book

It could be somethng to do with not having enough time to finish the job properly last time Raj (only had time for an emergency "get you home" job), or it may be a new issue.

Either way I am sure that we can diagnose and rectify the fault when you come in this week :)

The FCON ecu's have a "built in" facility to calibrate the FCD function, so a separate voltage clamp is not required :)

Now i understand why your lights are on, with only having emergency get you home job done, now wonder thay are flashing, Mark should have told you this may happen, if not only to put your mind to rest :D

See you this week mate :D

I am sure that if the the lights were on after we done what we needed to do and road tested it, then we would have mentioned it to Raj to put him at ease. Nobody knows why they are on yet so any conjecture is pointless :)
