Is200 Engine Management&trc Light Flashing

Hi all I have just had a problem on my is200 but the engine management light is flashing along with the TRC light. I took it out last night it was fine. Then the wife took her out this morning and it started. HELLLP please.

Hi

Can be a number of things,hook up to a diagnostic will give a fault code, others will know more, but in the meantime read my post (about six/seven posts down in the main audio/electronics/security section) and also search around for screen leaks and damp in the footwells. In my case the diagnostic code was not the fault, just water ingress, a few drips only!....... Simple checks first, i could have ended up with a new gearbox sensor (£250) and screen as well, and still no cure....lucky escape for me...with forum help.

you need to read the code through the OBDII port to get what is wrong with the car

You can pull the ects & efi fuses in the engine bay by the Battery for 30 seconds and will reset it but you wont find out the problem

Thanks peeps just had on the diagnostic and it said the 1 3 and 5 misfire. So anyone got any coil packs for sale. Thanks again.

I hade the same problem with the engine management light staying on and the trc light flashin it was on for a couple of days but the lights seem to have gone out now

Aha, Coil packs.......I reckon the 1st Gen IS200/300 is an amazing car, 13-14 years on, in design well befrore that, and this forum confirms that they are still (more or less) only giving trouble in known areas. I had a couple of Disco's once (new/nearly new) nothing but trouble all over the car, every damn expensive thing. The only other cars I have owned (I'm an old git) that have been almost trouble free are old style Volvo 240's!

Once you get your IS 'right' then they are great to own IMO....and hardly any depreciation.
