GS430SE2

Thanks. I drove about 10 miles in city traffic, lots of stops and starts, and a few patches where I drove fast. The warning lights have remained off.

OK, I found the OBD-II connector. I shorted pins 4 and 14 for 30 seconds as follows: Ignition off bridge pins 4 and 14 ignition on (did not start the engine) leave on for 30 seconds ignition off remove bridge And hey presto, VSC and VSC Off lights disappeared. However, I expect these warning lights will come back on. What next?

Fault: "VSC" (Vehicle Stability Control) and "VSC off" warning lights stay on Car: 2nd Gen Lexus GS430 (UK - right-hand drive vehicle) - 2004 model How did the fault arise? Car ran out of fuel just short of a petrol station. I put it in neutral and manually pushed it, just a bit. After filling up and switching on, the warning lights came on, and ever since then, these warning lights have stayed on. They were never there prior to this pushing - 100% certain. What have I tried to do since? In the central console (between the front seats) there is a button to switch VSC off. That has no effect at all. I have tried disconnecting the battery for 30 minutes. Each time on reconnection, the warning lights come back on almost immediately. I have looked for the OBD-II connector, because I read that shorting out pins 4 and 14 of this connector might clear the fault. This connector is supposed to be near the boot-release (trunk-release), but I cannot find it. I have peered underneath and looked for any panel, and used Google Images, to no avail. HELP!

I had the same problem (see below for details).

This connector is supposed to be near the boot-release (trunk-release) and eventually I found the discreet little panel.
