Hi everybody. I am brand new to this so forgive the noobie!
I have a 2001 IS200 Sport TTE Kitted. I have owned it for a month and think I actually love this car!
Here is my problem. I gave a lift to my mate who is 23 stone (biggest guy I've ever met) The thing is he got in the car passenger front seat when the car was turned off. I started the car and the Engine managment light was on and the TRC off light flashed every 10 or so seconds. I drove him to the train station and then took the car home so I could arrange get the car looked at. All in all drove about 2.5 miles with these lights on. I got home rang Lexus and they told me to bring the car in. The thing is when I got back in the car and started it the lights were off. I didn't take it to Lexus or any other garage and have since done 500 miles in the car over a 2 week period and the lights have never come back on and the car drives like an absolute dream. I also had the timing belt and tensioners changed at Lexus the day before the lights came on.
Does anybody have any idea what this is all about and did my overweight friend or Lexus changing the belt have anything to do with it? Or was the ECU just having a moment?
Hope somebody out there can shed some light on this.
Thanks
Chris.
