Look in fuse box for blown fuse

Mice living in the air cleaner perhaps? It isn't as daft as it sounds as a car laying undisturbed for a while offers mice a very good home and they love to chew pipes and wiring. The idle air control could be sticking and damp could have got into the oxygen sensors, or anywhere else... Good luck!

Remove the tensioner and replace it.

check the fuel pump fuse in the fuse box

Remove from car, carefully scrape crud from inside of passages being careful not to damage valve seat, spray out with carb cleaner, allow to soak, repeat, then spray out with compressed air. Check all hoses and passages on engine too.

if the light comes on during normal driving not wet or icy out then you need to check your wheel sensors the low traction light indicates the wheels are spinning a different speeds, works in conjunction with the abs system

VSC is a system that helps prevent side skids and help stabilize the vehicle while turning on a curve. Is the Check Engine Light on also? (picture of an engine). If the check engine light is on then have someone fix that first because if there is a fault in the engine controls then your vehicle will turn off the VSC system automatically. If no Check Engine Light then either a re-calibration by a repair shop, a bad part in the VSC or the switch is turned off.

It sounds like the kick down or the solenoid Inside the tranny

your car is starting to build up carbon in the intake and cannot keep the air flowing , when you have this kind on miles this is what starts to happen ,you ck eng light will come on with a po 401 shortly

Should be at front of bank 2.

Every single 2006 gs300 will have this problem, and even after it has been "fixed" it's going to happen again due to the intake valves not being washed by incoming fuel. The design of the engine is a poor design and shouldn't have never been put out to production and sold to anybody. Lexus extended the warranty for this problem for 9 years and will not do a single thing for you if you're even one day out of the 9 years. Every single 06 gs300 should have been replaced with a completely different car under the lemon law the moment they realized the problem, but to save the money lexus just swept it under the rug leaving hundreds of thousands of their customers with a lemon.

Could be a range of things. Could be the lock jammed open. Need more information.

check the mass air flow meter.

the way you did the installation on a camry is the same way on a lexus there both F W D and similar parts when you work on it you'll see it the same.

Its in, what you call limp mode . You need to take it to a garage.they will plug it in. There will be some fault with the car. It goes into limp mode. So no more damage . Can happen.

Blocked Exhaust Converter ? Low Fuel Pressure ? Only testing will give you the answer

Hi follow this link , i know it refers to a different model lexus but i'm pretty sure the procedure would be the same, otherwise ring a Lexus dealer and ask them for the procedure but knowing these top marque vehicles they do like to charge for doing very little , hopefully this link will help How to Reset the Anti Theft Lock on Lexus LS400 Sedan eHow

If the security light is flashing, then the alarm has disabled the engine. Try locking with key remote and unlocking again with key(not remote) and see if that works. OR put key in turn to ACC and leave for about 5-6mins, switch off and back on to start engine, think thatshould do it. Let me know if it worked, which one.

Try fuel filter or catalyc converter.

Try catalyic converter, but first check fuel filter.
