Guys

Please help, my gs450h just suddenly lost power and warning flashing.

It says check hybrid system and check vsb and check ecb.

Now Waiting for help to arrive but in the mean could anyone tells me what I should expect?

Quick look on club lexus points to faulty traction Battery. Although some have said fault went after waiting 10 min then re-starting????

Oh dear ..... does that mean Battery needs replacing? It is 06 plate, would that still under warranty for the Battery. I will wait a bit and try restart and see what happened..

[IHgs300]

free replacement up to 100k, How did you get on?

RAC arrived and use it's computer to checked and it comes up with crankshaft sensors faulty.

Now Waiting to be tow to Lexus... another 2 hrs wait...not good....

Not sure How reliable is his RAC computer...

[ColinBarber]

that sensor failure would certainly produce the result you experienced, the engine would shut down to protect itself. That error code, if correct, is a standard one that his computer should recognise.

Managed to get home at 3am ....the car will be with Lexus today and they will inspect it either today or tomorrow....

I hope that is only the only issue and not going to be too expensive to sort out....
