Engine Management Light?

[Easy_now]

hi i have a is200 1999. the engine managment light came on and stayed on then the trc light started flashing can any one help me with this problem or has any one had a simular problems?

Need to get it on a diagnostic and get the fault codes. Total guess work without them. Could be 1 of 100's of possibilities. The trc light flashing always happens when the check engine light comes on.

Lexus charge around £50 for a diagnostic which you will be able to negotiate lower or even free if you get the subsequent work done at the dealership. Other garages will be cheaper but not all garages can read Toyota/Lexus codes and you run the risk of a mis-diagnosis which has happened to me in the past.

Good Luck, hope it doesn't turn out to be too serious.

They think that because thats the most Common reason the light comes on if the car is still running fine. Without the proper codes it's complete guess work however experienced a mechanic they are...

Just trying to stop people making the same mistakes as me. Didn't get the codes, got told it was the lambda sensor as the car was still running fine, changed it and paid them, light still on. It was actually a leaky fuel injector dropping petrol into the cylinder after I turned off the engine causing a misfire so bringing on the engine light. Like I said it could be 1 of 100's! Have you seen how many fault codes there are connected to an IS200? Blooming loads!!! Lol... :)
