I was just gonna ask about the same car. I just got the starter changed on my LS460 (08) and to my surprise I have these lights on the dash that weren’t there before. Did you use the same pins as mentioned in the video?
Your video has the most concise information for this problem across YT. It should have gotten more hits. I am certainly going to spread your video around as it has the simplest steps and most helpful fix most of us laymen needed.
Thanks so much my guy I just got my alignment done on my 2009 Toyota Matrix XRS and every time I tried to ride my car the light would light up and it was driving me crazy because before the light would light up the car would not let me accelerate passing certain mph so now it’s fixed. Thanks again 💯⚡️
One thing to add. On mine I actually had to disconnect the battery first wait 15-20 minutes for charge to die and then reconnect the battery and do this procedure. Cleared the code.
I actually tried it today, and guess what.. it f worked! The light didn’t come back, so most likely it’s gone. Now when winter hits hard, then my anti-spin should work I guess. A huge ‘thank you’ to you 🙏🏻🙃

Hey Man! just bought a beautiful 2007 is250 one owner. 167k miles Check engine, VSC and traction control light came up, I used a snap on OBD reader and codes P0894 and P2714 were shown. I watched a lot of videos and read a lot about this and it seems to affect a lot of lexus owners and seems to have multiple solutions. How will you approach this? I am very tempted to try the paper clip in the obd since I used that with a corolla and solve the problem. the car drives fine with no issues
The VSC light in your situation is on because the check engine light is on. They go on together. I would start by getting the car scanned for codes and go from there.
got an 07 250 my self and they just came on after weeks of not having it. it came on once when i messed up my maf sensor reconnected and fixed it but seems to not be the issue now. did the paper clip method work?
I have a 2002 Lexus RX 300. I had blinking VSC & ABS Lights flashing and nothing else worked in getting them reset. I did the paper clip action, as stated in this video, and both reset and stopped blinking. Thanks for the info.
2007 Lexus GS AWD This worked perfectly!!! Thanks soooo much!!!! (I noticed the light came on after I put a heavy generator in the trunk. This must have thrown something off. Now no lights 😊)
Your welcome! Glad it worked for you! This will be a permanent fix if there was not a real issue and it was just triggered which does happen. If there is a real issue it will return then you would need to get it scanned and see exactly what the issue is. It can be caused by a bad sensor or ABS issue.
Great video. I have rx330 and for 3 yrs never knew the issue. Thought it had something to do with the gas cap. Changed caps and still was on. All along just needed a paper clip and your video. Thanks
I just saw a video where a guy said cleaning the gas cap fixed the issue but that didn’t make sense to my. How would a loose gas cap affect the traction control? 🤷🏾♂️
Hi, i recently replaced both of the front cv axles on my car. These axles were replaced while there was a check engine light on the car along with trac and vsc flashing as well. The car became a pain to drive after the axles replacement. Car drives fine straight but is hard to turn. It's almost as if there is no power going to the wheels when i turn the wheel and give it gas. The car did drive fine before the axles were replaced, and at the time, the check engine light and vsc were both on. Problems started after the axle replacement. Should i have done the check engine light fix first and then the axles??
That's really helpful I have that same car right now and I have that exact problem I'm gonna try this .. Thank you so much for the tip I'll let you know if it worked for me.
@@TheLANDSQUID hey bro this just happened to my gx470 today along with not being able to shift out of park when I start the car I have to override the shift lock release to get it into drive. There was four lights that came on the abs vsc off vsc trac and anti skid. But they came on intermittently and did not stay on continuously for the entire trip just as I’m pulling off out of park and a few more times throughout a road trip but there is nothing wrong with my car it never effected performance. Did your lights ever back come back on after you reset if with with paper clip trick? And also were the lights coming up intermittently for you or did they stay on until you reset it?
@@Elite_Employee you probably gonna need to replace your oxigen sensors soon, hope this help...if that's the case order them on Amazon, it will save you lots of money!!!
Would this work for the 2009 Lexus RX-350? I am having the VSC Light and check engine light showing time to time on the dashboard recently for no reason. Thank you so much
The VSC is on because the check engine light. You can clear them by disconnecting the negative battery terminal for 10 mins. But if the lights comes back you will need to get it scanned to see the issue.
Hi. Will this work on Lexus 2007 RX 400h? Hybrid version. Looks like previous owner had the tires changed and this happened but I bought the car so I want to fix this. Appreciate any help given…
Thank you it worked for me I was a bit worried that my one code plug was different and I was afraid if I put the clip wrong I would short something out but a little courage and voila! Now I don’t have those pesky lights…. 🤜💪👍
Man I’ve had this problem ever since I got my oil pan replaced at a shop, I’m gonna try this fix whenever I get home . Thank you so much. Fingers crossed it works
So I have a 06’ IS350. Has been scanned as a wheel speed sensor about a year ago, it only came on in the rain. I got a wheel alignment and now it’s on every single time I drive the car, doesn’t cause any issues, just annoying to look at. Would this work or would I need a nee sensor do you think?
Hi MV Garage, great video. Do you know how to do the Engine check light and VSC light in together. I cleaned the MAF sensor and throttle body but power on with MAF sensor disconnected.
John CW Chan Hi ! And thanks ! Usually if there is a check engine light that always triggers the VSC light as well. You would need to get the code scanned for the check engine light it could be one of a hundred different issues. You can get it scanned for free at any auto zone. Let me know the code and I can try to help. Thanks.
Will this work for 2011 rdx? I am getting TRAC OFF - check AWD system with check engine light. Took it to Autozone and the car has code off replace fuel cap. I tightened it and the lights still won’t come off. Ugh. I just got the car a month app ugh😢
Samson Wang Then is wasn’t just triggered. You may have a bad wheel speed sensor or something else. You’ll need to get it scanned. Let me know what faults you get I will try to help.
Before trying this reset, did your car run properly? The dealership swapped out the fuel pump on a Toyota recall and the next day I turned the car on and got the TRAC OFF and Check Engine lights. Nevertheless, I tried driving the vehicle, but there was no acceleration.
pshaw34565 you can always reset the check engine light by disconnecting the negative battery terminal for 10 mins. But I wouldn’t recommend it. Since it’s something they must of caused. It will reset the data. Just bring it back to them and yes the check engine light could be a number of different things that may make it run rough.
Worked on my isF. Thank you very much. Deleted an o2 sensor code after replacing but the vsc stayed. This took it right off. Aggravating the cel triggers this and doesn't let me go into 1st or have traction
@@ueray4 it worked but it was a temporary fix.. so I bought a code reader and I reset the alarm that way.... The alarm will come back on after about 10 miles of driving... Doesn't seem to have an effect on the car at all... Love my ride
MV Garage. I asked you yesterday about this working on my 2006 4runner and I was reading some of the other questions and your replies it won't work if the engine light also comes on. Mines does and the code I got was P0430 -Generic Catalyst System Efficiency below Threshold Bank 2. Thanks again.
@@FlipITGarage the engine light isn't on all the time. When I clear the codes the engine light also goes off. its like the engine light comes on and the other two comes on behind it and then I clear the codes again.
I will try this on my 2007 IS250. The VSC, trac control engine light just came up after a couple of minutes passing through some rough bumps. I hope it helps
Man you are the sh@t!!! I wish I would have seen this last year before I changed a sensor. A year later the light is back, hopefully it will stay away.
Recently got a 08 is250, i have an intermittent issue with the vsc light, it comes on after driving a distance over 30km. Though if I switch the car off and on, the vsc light goes off. On the obd scanner it says foreign object interference or something similar on the left back wheel. I bought a new wheel speed sensor but when I installed it the vsc light came on immediately when driving. Would the new sensor be faulty or should I try this and see if it works?
It may be an issue with the wheel bearing itself that the speed sensor uses to read the data. The code was for a wheel speed sensor and you change the sensor correct ? I would lean towards faulty wheel bearing.
Easiest method I’ve seen yet. Fantastic in fact. It PLEASE!!!.....I BEG of you!!!......LOSE the opening whatever you call that aggressive sounding assault on my ears pounding electronic slop that I guess is supposed to be..........MUSIC?????
Is the VSC light the car icon with the squiggly lines behind it? The one that comes on when your car is in a skid? The problem I’m having is that light comes on and it engages my brake and seems to cut engine power even driving straight at times. My car braked in heavy 50mph traffic and it about got me rear ended. Is this a totally different issue than what you are discussing here? 2003 Lexus RX 300.
That sounds like a different issue. The VSC light is usually a message or spelled out. If you want send me a picture on Instagram of the light you have on I can try to help. @themvgarage
Hey man, I have a 2007 lexus is250 and my VSC and check engine lights both came on after replacing front right tire, I tried everything in your video, I connected the paperclip as mentioned and let the car run through the cycle you showed, after that, my car is currently driving fine but the lights are still on, how do I get them to go off?
Will this work for my 2006 Toyota 4runner? I had seen other videos using the paper clip but for the 4runner the other videos showed that one paper clip is in the 3rd hole on the top left and the other paper clip is in the 4th hole bottom right. I tried it and it didn't work, I had to touch them 4 times and turn the vehicle off and turn back on again and touch the clips together for 20 sec and then turn it off and on again. It was a workout. Please tell me I can follow your steps. Thanks.
Terrance Gamble I’ve never tried it on the 4Runner but it should be the same procedure since I did this on a 2006 Lexus. Also on a 2018 Toyota. And it was the same. But I can’t say for sure on your vehicle. Won’t hurt to try. Let me know how it goes.
I did a after market CAT replacement on my 2006 IS350. Will this work on it? Im trying turn off the VSC lights that are on due to the CAT replacement. Thank you I'm scared to do it, I don't want to blow something up by putting a paperclip in there LOL.
@@FlipITGarage thank you for getting back to me it's the check engine light and it looks like the traction light on the right side, it's the the car with the skid marks icon. The engine light is on the left and then it says check VSC on the display. Hope that makes sense
@@kaoquinn No problem totally makes sense. This procedure won’t work for your issue. Watch this video to reset all those lights: ua-cam.com/video/iLrolhRr9lk/v-deo.html If the light comes back after a while it will need to be diagnosed and fixed. Hope this helps! 🤙🏽
I have the same light and same car year and model (06 gs300). But my car's traction control doesn't work because of the light. I want it to work more than to erase it. Would my traction control work again if I do what you did? Thanks
Have the check VSC on my Lexus ES 350 2007.... have been doing the pedal dance sometimes the light goes off after doing the pedal thing but comes on again later. .. please will this procedure of yours... work for me?
Hi, my Lexus GS300 2006, very often show the sign of brake systems failure + check engine and VSC, three at the same time. Went to garage at least 9 times, none of those mechanics can fix it. They replace all 4 ignition coils, one set of spark plugs and one set of exhaust spark plugs, and two days later, these three hell signs come up again, I feel hopeless to get rid off these. Hopefully you have some great tips on it. Thank you
sorry to bother you again i had another question...i think they are called Spyder Led Drl headlights.. the led strip light keeps flickering when i turn it on.. is it a sign that i need to buy a new headlight?
Mitsu RT with my experience with LED strips. It’s either a power issue, poorly made led strip or yes it’s on its way out. If it was working good for a while and now doing that then yes it’s about to go out.
I’m not comfortable doing this myself. My car keeps jerking to the right and the VSC light on. The steering wheel is turned to the right, also if that makes sense. What would a mechanic charge to realign my steering wheel and fix this problem? Recently got an alignment.
Definitely sounds like the alignment wasn’t done correctly if you recently did it. They usually cost between $80-$120. I would address the alignment issue before anything.
Tonight (after hours) I had my car towed to the Auto Shop that did the alignment & control arms to check it out since under warranty. My steering wheel was completely upside down and could do a complete 360 when attempting to drive it there. I couldn’t go over 40mph on the highway without car jerking left and right so I decided not to risk it. Terrifying! I can’t wait to find out the problem when they check it out in the morning. Thanks for the advice.
@@MahoganyBelle Yes, better to be safe. If it was there fault I would hope they cover the tow as well. Sounds like something was left loose. Let me know what they find.
@@FlipITGarage I’ll definitely update you with what that say. Hopefully, I can get reimbursed for the tow. I was out of $185. They did say if it’s their fault they will take care of it. Not sure why they didn’t offer to pay tow upfront, only a referral to one but I found my own.
@@FlipITGarage So as mentioned they worked on the lower control arm ball joints and did an alignment. The guy just called and said that the suspension pins were missing, and I don’t know much about cars but that sounds like a careless mistake. He said they put the suspension pins in and it’s working perfectly now. I’m on my way to get it and test drive it early just in case I have to take it right back. What are your thoughts on this? Does this sound right?
I own 08' IS250 recently ran into a potholes and my VSC, check engine light came on. I'm going to use this procedure and see if the problem goes away. Wish me luck!!
PullMeSoftly44 Hopefully it works out for you. But just know whenever a check engine light comes on the VSC light comes on with it. I would look into the check engine light first. More than likely if you reset the check engine light the VSC light will go off.
@@FlipITGarage I tried your method several times hopping that it'll work but failed. So, I tried another method by disconnecting both terminal from the battery and wait several minutes before connecting them back an start the car, that finally solved my problem. The VSC and Chk Engine light went away.. Strange thing!! Thanks for the advice 👍
PullMeSoftly44 Yep. Disconnecting the battery will reset the check engine light. So the VSC light was on because the check engine light. If it does come back on you will need to get the check engine light scanned to see what the problem is. Hopefully it stays off!
Thank you ! This happened today and the good old paper clip trick worked. But does this mask a more serious problem? I ran codes and I got P0390, P0365, P0345,P0340. ???
No problem! Happy to help. No this is just the reset procedure. If there is a real problem it will come back on eventually. If it doesn’t then there was no real fault.
@@FlipITGarage So turns out the next day the car was dead, turns out battery, replaced battery, checked alternator to make sure charging, all good. But now only the drivers window works, the other three windows do not and the Dual Climate zone setting do not act independently anymore? Only one climate zone and not two zones any longer? Wondering since replacing battery it reset something? Main screen showed "Rebooting" after turning car back on?
@@okkin981 Yep the windows and sunroof need to be reprogrammed. Just go to each door window switch one by one. Hold down, when it reaches the bottom hold for an additional 3 seconds then do the same going up. Do that to each door.
@@FlipITGarage Boom! That did the trick! And for what ever reason the Dual Zone AC started working as well. I replaced both of the Cam Sensors as well for good measure because they were super easy to swap out and thats what the codes were all about. So far so good! Thank you for all your help sir
Hi MV, I got code P0A80 - Replace Hybrid Battery pack on my lexus 2006 Rx400 H. history- I did not drive for 1 month. So when it did not start got battery replaced by AAA and now I have check engine, red triangle 🔺 with exclamation, ABS on. Any suggestions what could I do to fix...
My VSC OFF light is on with VSC and ABS light...but I can feel the abs working when I brake at higher speed...will this work???..I am sussing the wheels...bcos it goes and stops faultlessly
@@FlipITGarage nope...no Check engine light on..and ABS light is not as bright as the VSC OFF and VSC lights...it sits btwn the two. .so l am not sure tif it's a good or if it's on😥
Thanks once again. Please my Lexus GX 470 2008 model will crank for quite a while before it fires up. Fuel pump changed but there is no solution yet. How can you be of help sir? Thanking you in anticipation.
MV Garage Not too good crank when starting. I’m thinking same way too about, FUEL ISSUE. Because I perceives smell of gasoline from the tailpipe whenever the fault occurs.....with a white smoke which disappear after about 20 seconds. I sincerely appreciate your attention sir. I will try to look into fuel issue and revert back.
Hy i got the same problem on my 05' gs300 and the warning lights also pop out. Diagnosed it and got few codes: C1201 B2412 P0986 Pls help to clear the warning lights. Got some recommendation to change the whole auto transmission (but costly).
Hi I changed the clock spring and steering angle sensor (I broke old by mistake) job was easy turned on now have trc and vsc lights. I have scan tool so reset steering angle sensor and cleared codes. U0126 keeps coming back. Lost communication with SAS control module. I tried all of these hacks also the one where you touch the cables 4 times within 8 seconds into the reset mode. No joy I still have the lights. Any tips or is my new (used of ebay) unit bad is my next thinking. Thanks in advance also checked every fuse. I did the job with battery disconnected and also have left disconnected over night to see if that sorts it. Still no. Also test drive to see if it re learns but no.
Henry Phillips Hi! Sounds like you covered all the basics. I would suspect a bad unit if everything is hooked up properly. I would swap it with another one to confirm. Also check all your connections.
@@FlipITGarage Fixed it! I was rite: The new used part on ebay was to blame! I only broke my clock spring not the SAS so worth a try I put my old SAS on the new clock spring and it worked first time! Re calibrated. No codes to clear because it was all happy. This all started because I was aligning the steering wheel to the rack for the correct amount if turns each way. Now I have done that job also needs major wheel alignment it was loose and way out! I hoped fixing this would also solve the serious brake judder but unfortunately it hasn't. This judder causes bad wheel bearings and drop links after 6 months it's so bad! New brakes all round also every bush and ball joint is good. New tyres and wheel balance. Drive / prop shafts good. On a Lexus is250. Any suggestions 🤔
My 2007 gs430 had the diagnostic say the right front wheel speed sensor fault. On checking the connector I noticed it has some vertigris on the brass pins and in the receiving sockets of the plug. Cleaning those terminals cleared the fault.
My car battery died there was some corrosion so we cleaned that up and when I jumped my battery the vsc light came on never came on before will this work for that or should I take to a garage (07 Toyota Camry xle)
My GS450h sat for one week and upon starting had both the VSC and P/S light. I can’t seem to reset either based on your vids. I’ve yet to get under the car to diagnose the P/S. I plan to try the steps again in the vids. Any suggestions? I’ve subscribed to show support. Keep up the good work.
chapchapw Hi, thanks for subscribing! I would start by trying to reset the computers. Disconnect the negative battery terminal for 10 mins. You watched the video on the P/S light reset?
MV Garage Turns out it needs a new rack. All connections were good. No corrosion. Internal torque sensor. Thx for your support along the way. Appreciated.
If this does not work, try taking the negative terminal off the battery for 15 mins, it will reset the computer and should clear the "check vsc" lights ... That worked for me on a 2007 is250
Hi, i have IS350 with check AWD system showing and as C1298 code. Both the connection and the wires are in good condition but the light still showing. How can you help out?
Hi my lights on my lexus is250 recently came on vsc light and check light also trac light. the code for the the check light was p2757 which was the transmission after replacing the transmission twice the light came right back after about 20 to 80 mile twice this happen so i know its not the transmission whats the next step i should take could it be my computer
Dang Vue Hi possible causes for that code. Dirty transmission fluid Faulty line pressure solenoid valve SLU Line pressure solenoid valve SLU harness is open or shorted Line pressure solenoid valve SLU circuit poor electrical connection Torque converter clutch Valve body is blocked If you checked all those and replaced what you needed to did you clear the code ? Reset it with a scan tool or disconnect the negative battery terminal for 10 minutes. The VSC light is only on because the check engine light.

Do you put the paper clip while the car is running?
lenny hernandez If you have a check engine light on then you need to fix that first and then the VSC will turn off.

The VSC is on because the check engine light. You can clear them by disconnecting the negative battery terminal for 10 mins. But if the lights comes back you will need to get it scanned to see the issue.

Hi. Will this work on Lexus 2007 RX 400h? Hybrid version.
Looks like previous owner had the tires changed and this happened but I bought the car so I want to fix this.

Hi! Is it just the VSC light on ? Or is a check engine light on as well?
I have the same car and it is the VSC indication, along with ABS, Traction, E brake, and Brake warning lights
After a mental breakdown
😂🤣. Exactly my feelings too!
After so many research, finally you showed me the right way to fix it. Thanks ❤
Happy to help! 🤙🏽
So what happens when you use the diagnostic tool to read the car does the code still show ?
Great video. I have GS300. What triggered the VSC light for you?
Appreciate it! On this car it was triggered by the speed sensor getting bumped when changing wheels. It is also a 2006 GS300.

Sounds like the same issue I had. Yes should be the same procedure for your ES. Won’t hurt to try. Let me know how it goes !
Does the VSC light being on have anything to do with the continuous beeping noise?
Myron Feggins Jr Usually doesn’t cause a beeping noise, well atleast it didn’t on my GS.
That was the door being opened thats why it was beeping
So I have a 06’ IS350. Has been scanned as a wheel speed sensor about a year ago, it only came on in the rain. I got a wheel alignment and now it’s on every single time I drive the car, doesn’t cause any issues, just annoying to look at. Would this work or would I need a nee sensor do you think?
Hi MV Garage, great video. Do you know how to do the Engine check light and VSC light in together. I cleaned the MAF sensor and throttle body but power on with MAF sensor disconnected.
John CW Chan Hi ! And thanks ! Usually if there is a check engine light that always triggers the VSC light as well. You would need to get the code scanned for the check engine light it could be one of a hundred different issues. You can get it scanned for free at any auto zone. Let me know the code and I can try to help. Thanks.
Much Appreciated will try scan codes then. Cheers!
Will this work for 2011 rdx? I am getting TRAC OFF - check AWD system with check engine light. Took it to Autozone and the car has code off replace fuel cap. I tightened it and the lights still won’t come off. Ugh. I just got the car a month app ugh😢

Samson Wang Then is wasn’t just triggered. You may have a bad wheel speed sensor or something else. You’ll need to get it scanned. Let me know what faults you get I will try to help.
Before trying this reset, did your car run properly? The dealership swapped out the fuel pump on a Toyota recall and the next day I turned the car on and got the TRAC OFF and Check Engine lights. Nevertheless, I tried driving the vehicle, but there was no acceleration.
pshaw34565 the check engine light is the reason your VSC Trac light is on. You’ll need to get it scanned. I would take it back to them.
@@FlipITGarage Thank you. I am going to bring it back to them tomorrow. I was curious if resetting would make the car run properly.
pshaw34565 you can always reset the check engine light by disconnecting the negative battery terminal for 10 mins. But I wouldn’t recommend it. Since it’s something they must of caused. It will reset the data. Just bring it back to them and yes the check engine light could be a number of different things that may make it run rough.
Just done this today, worked a treat thank you.
keith hilton Your welcome ! Glad to help!
Is this a temporary or permanent fix? Is it just a bandaid on a cutoff limb?

Recently got a 08 is250, i have an intermittent issue with the vsc light, it comes on after driving a distance over 30km. Though if I switch the car off and on, the vsc light goes off. On the obd scanner it says foreign object interference or something similar on the left back wheel. I bought a new wheel speed sensor but when I installed it the vsc light came on immediately when driving. Would the new sensor be faulty or should I try this and see if it works?
It may be an issue with the wheel bearing itself that the speed sensor uses to read the data. The code was for a wheel speed sensor and you change the sensor correct ? I would lean towards faulty wheel bearing.
Easiest method I’ve seen yet. Fantastic in fact. It PLEASE!!!.....I BEG of you!!!......LOSE the opening whatever you call that aggressive sounding assault on my ears pounding electronic slop that I guess is supposed to be..........MUSIC?????

Is the VSC light the car icon with the squiggly lines behind it? The one that comes on when your car is in a skid?
The problem I’m having is that light comes on and it engages my brake and seems to cut engine power even driving straight at times. My car braked in heavy 50mph traffic and it about got me rear ended. Is this a totally different issue than what you are discussing here?

Hey man, I have a 2007 lexus is250 and my VSC and check engine lights both came on after replacing front right tire, I tried everything in your video, I connected the paperclip as mentioned and let the car run through the cycle you showed, after that, my car is currently driving fine but the lights are still on, how do I get them to go off?
Sometimes you have to repeat the procedure. Unless its a hard default then you need to address the issue.
Hi did you manage to find out the problem for your lexus is250? i have the same problem with my 06 is250

Same to you!
Question here putting the paper clip in there will not affect the car in any way? Like the ecu or other electrical component?

Yes, itll be the same procedure.
Will this work for my 2006 Toyota 4runner? I had seen other videos using the paper clip but for the 4runner the other videos showed that one paper clip is in the 3rd hole on the top left and the other paper clip is in the 4th hole bottom right. I tried it and it didn't work, I had to touch them 4 times and turn the vehicle off and turn back on again and touch the clips together for 20 sec and then turn it off and on again. It was a workout. Please tell me I can follow your steps. Thanks.
Terrance Gamble I’ve never tried it on the 4Runner but it should be the same procedure since I did this on a 2006 Lexus. Also on a 2018 Toyota. And it was the same. But I can’t say for sure on your vehicle. Won’t hurt to try. Let me know how it goes.

I have the same problem now, but my car is IS220d, will this procedure work please as my car is Manual not auto?
Ola Dapson definitely should be the same procedure for your car. Won’t hurt to try. What year is it ?
I’m not comfortable doing this myself. My car keeps jerking to the right and the VSC light on. The steering wheel is turned to the right, also if that makes sense. What would a mechanic charge to realign my steering wheel and fix this problem? Recently got an alignment.
Definitely sounds like the alignment wasn’t done correctly if you recently did it. They usually cost between $80-$120. I would address the alignment issue before anything.
Tonight (after hours) I had my car towed to the Auto Shop that did the alignment & control arms to check it out since under warranty. My steering wheel was completely upside down and could do a complete 360 when attempting to drive it there. I couldn’t go over 40mph on the highway without car jerking left and right so I decided not to risk it. Terrifying! I can’t wait to find out the problem when they check it out in the morning. Thanks for the advice.
@@MahoganyBelle Yes, better to be safe. If it was there fault I would hope they cover the tow as well. Sounds like something was left loose. Let me know what they find.
@@FlipITGarage I’ll definitely update you with what that say. Hopefully, I can get reimbursed for the tow. I was out of $185. They did say if it’s their fault they will take care of it. Not sure why they didn’t offer to pay tow upfront, only a referral to one but I found my own.
@@FlipITGarage So as mentioned they worked on the lower control arm ball joints and did an alignment. The guy just called and said that the suspension pins were missing, and I don’t know much about cars but that sounds like a careless mistake. He said they put the suspension pins in and it’s working perfectly now. I’m on my way to get it and test drive it early just in case I have to take it right back. What are your thoughts on this? Does this sound right?

Hi I changed the clock spring and steering angle sensor (I broke old by mistake) job was easy turned on now have trc and vsc lights. I have scan tool so reset steering angle sensor and cleared codes. U0126 keeps coming back. Lost communication with SAS control module. I tried all of these hacks also the one where you touch the cables 4 times within 8 seconds into the reset mode. No joy I still have the lights. Any tips or is my new (used of ebay) unit bad is my next thinking. Thanks in advance also checked every fuse. I did the job with battery disconnected and also have left disconnected over night to see if that sorts it. Still no. Also test drive to see if it re learns but no.
Henry Phillips Hi! Sounds like you covered all the basics. I would suspect a bad unit if everything is hooked up properly. I would swap it with another one to confirm. Also check all your connections.
@@FlipITGarage Fixed it! I was rite: The new used part on ebay was to blame! I only broke my clock spring not the SAS so worth a try I put my old SAS on the new clock spring and it worked first time! Re calibrated. No codes to clear because it was all happy. This all started because I was aligning the steering wheel to the rack for the correct amount if turns each way. Now I have done that job also needs major wheel alignment it was loose and way out! I hoped fixing this would also solve the serious brake judder but unfortunately it hasn't. This judder causes bad wheel bearings and drop links after 6 months it's so bad! New brakes all round also every bush and ball joint is good. New tyres and wheel balance. Drive / prop shafts good. On a Lexus is250. Any suggestions 🤔
My 2007 gs430 had the diagnostic say the right front wheel speed sensor fault. On checking the connector I noticed it has some vertigris on the brass pins and in the receiving sockets of the plug. Cleaning those terminals cleared the fault.

Hi my lights on my lexus is250 recently came on vsc light and check light also trac light. the code for the the check light was p2757 which was the transmission after replacing the transmission twice the light came right back after about 20 to 80 mile twice this happen so i know its not the transmission whats the next step i should take could it be my computer
Dang Vue Hi possible causes for that code. Dirty transmission fluid
Faulty line pressure solenoid valve SLU
Line pressure solenoid valve SLU harness is open or shorted
Line pressure solenoid valve SLU circuit poor electrical connection
Torque converter clutch
Valve body is blocked
If you checked all those and replaced what you needed to did you clear the code ? Reset it with a scan tool or disconnect the negative battery terminal for 10 minutes. The VSC light is only on because the check engine light.
