Where do i find those connector plugs that are descibed in that link you sent me?

Well according to their report the wiring was fine, but then they also said there was a loose connection to the ecu, hence why i wanted to check them

Code P0983, assuming its the right code that they got.

The code they gave me is on the invoice, i'll check later, but it did state on the invoice that it was to do with the soleniod it the gearbox. I have no interest in changing any ECU's, done that on a previous car and its a pain, all i want to do is find them to make sure there isn't a loose connnection again and get charged £144 for the pleasure when taking it to Lexus for them to do that again. The £500+ is what they want to change the soleniod plus labour, and if it is just a loose connection i dont wanna get mugged off. I'll give it a go on manual and maybe check the oil, cheers.

Well i has reaccured, it went for about a fortnight, but i wanted to see if i coukd find the ecu's rather then them charge me over £500 saying it needs a part when it could just be the loose connection again. Are any of the ecu's easily accessable?

Yeah sorry they ment the solenoid in the gearbox, but they told me that after saying they found the loose connection on the ecu. I've tried to find online where the ecu is fitted, but difficult to know as keep getting american stuff pop up. Although i probably shouldn't i have driven the car a few times and had no problems at all with gear changes in fully automatic mode.

I've recently had the "Check VSC" come up on my display. It happened a little while ago so took it to Lexus and they said something to do with the oil sump solenoid, but also found a loose connection. At one point though of having this fault I had a tyre changed and the warning sign went off but came back after a few mile. anyone able to help? feel they might be trying it on.
