  1. Happy Birthday Amber!

  2. Thanks to all for the warm Welcome!!! :)
  3. Thanks Chips!!! Tomorrow morning, that will be the first thing I do. Take out and clean all connections on all lightbulbs, and checking out poor connections. Hopefully the problem will get solved, so I won't have to take it to Lexus Dealership. I'll keep you updated, let you know how it goes, and if needed get more helpful tips from you! -Thnx... Amber. :)
  4. EVERYBODY PLEASE HELP, CHECK ENGINE LIGHTS I've got a 1994 GS 300, with a lot of kms. 220,000 kms! Just recently I've been having the check engine warning lights come up (in the owner's manual they call it the 'Malfunction Indicator Lamp') And I've also got the TRAC OFF sign, also know as 'Traction Control System OFF Indicator/Warning Light' in the owenrs manual. We haven't been driving it much ever since they've both come on. But it drives smooth as ever, no noise, no nothing. Do you think I've got to check diagnostics codes check to see if my Oxygen Sensor are worn (get it checked by Lexus dealership, or any repair shop...BETTER YET I HOPE TO REPLACE OXYGEN SENSOR MYSELF TO SAVE$$$)??? Oh yes, I must say, it cost me around 65 to 70$ Canadian to get the fuel tank full. Is that a sign of some sort??? -Amber
  5. Hi, CHECK ENGINE WARNING LIGHT & TRAC OFF WARNING LIGHT I'm new to the club here. I've had my 1994 gs300 for about 3 years ago. Awesome ride. A couple of days ago, I noticed a few problems with it though. Thought it'll be a good idea asking other lexus owners whether they've had the same problems as i'm having and how u all could help me out! Vehicle History: First I might tell you a little history of this car. I'm the second owner of this vehicle. No accidents in this car. It's got 200,000 kms on it. Lots of kms but excellent vehicle. Never had a problem with it before. Even now, with both these warning lights on, I do not hear any unusual engine noise or any difference in the performance of the vehicle. I must say that in mid December 06' due to heavy snow/cold weather, the Lexus was parked outside and we didn't drive it during the snow condiitons, but we did start it up to get it warmed up. One day when I go out to warm it up, it wouldn't start, so I pressed hard on the accelerator and then it did start up. Then after the snow, when the roads were clear and nice (no snow), I took it for a drive when I noticed the radio would turn on and off and so would the interior lights, that's when I knew something was wrong so I took a U-turn and brought it back home instead of going farther. Turns out I need a new battery. So, I get a new battery in the car. With the new batttery, the car's running nice as usual. After about a week these two warning lights come on. I take it to a repair shop, they said maybe the batterys not installed properly, so they took out the battery and put it back in. Later that day, when driving home from the repair shop, the warning lights do not appear while driving, so I assume the battery wasn't installed properly before, and its fine now. But the next day , both of the warning lights come back on , so now I assume it has nothing to do with the battery. I have 2 warning lights that come up when I start the car, and they both stay there while driving, meaning there's a problem. CHECK ENGINE WARNING LIGHT; 1st warning light is the 'Malfunction Indicator Lamp'; warns that there is a problem somewhere in your engine electrical system. (From Owner's Manual, pg. 29) TRAC OFF WARNING LIGHT ;2nd warning light is the 'Traction Control System OFF Indicator/Warning Light'; this indicates a malfunction in the anti-lock brake system or engine system. (From Owner's Manual, pg. 29) I MUST SAY: that even with these two warning lights (mentioned above), my car is running perfectly fine. I don't hear any kind of unusual engine noise, no squeaks, no nothing. I'm hoping it's nothing and just a malfunction of lights or sumthing. basically no effect on vehicle performance. One of the other warning lights that I've had come up while driving for a long long time (even when I purchased the car from dealership / before the first two appeared) is the 'SRS Warning Light'; a malfunction somewhere in the parts monitored by the warning light system. I've had this come up since I bought the car, never affected the performance of vehicle, but will get it chekced when I get the first two warning lights fixed. This light doesn't affect performance of my vehilcle either. I've called the Lexus dealers and they've told me both these lights (the 'Malfunction Indicator Lamp' and 'Traction Control System OFF Indicator/Warning Light') usually come on together, and indicates there's a problem somewhere in the electrical system or someplace else, they'll find out once they hook the car it to the computer system. It'll be really appreciated if i could get your feedbacks regarding these issues and whether you've had any sort of experience with them, repairs, cost, all the things related etc. -Amber:)
  6. Hi Everyone, This is Amber from B.C., Canada. I'm a new member on this site. I have a 1994 Lexus GS 300. I bought it 3 years ago, and I'm loving it. For the past 3 years it's been running great, just recently I've began to experience a few problems with it. I will be posting my car issues in the GS 300 forums page, hopefully I can get a lot of helpful feedback from other Lexus owners!!! This club looks great, and I look forward to getting to know all of you! -Amber:)
