If the light was flashing when it came on, then it means your engine is misfiring.
A solid light can mean anything from a loose/faulty gas cap to a transmission issue.
This
light comes on when the computer detects a
fault of some sort in its diagnostic tests. If it keeps detecting this
issue, the light will remain on. If the light turns off, then it has
detected that the issue may no longer be present.
In
order to find out what the exact reason was for your light, You need to
have your car computer scanned to retrieve the code that
the computer would have stored when the light triggered. Most garages
will do this free of charge. The code will tell you what may have
caused the light to initially turn on.
most probably its a fuse. go to your manual and it'll indicate the location of your fuse box. most likely there are two under the left and right engine bay covers. pop the fuse covers and you'll find the fuse for the lighters. this info is also in the manual.
the cause of this in my opinion is that the rotors were not turned correctly the first time.
and at this point in time it is my suggestion that you replace the rotors and the pads all with NEW -- and this will fix your problem for good.
my next suggestion is to not go to the same mechanics that tried to fix it already. fine a new one.
in fact -- buy all the parts yourself and take them down to the brake mechanics ( or just a good well known shop mechanic ) and have them install the rotors and pads for you --- it will take 30 minutes ( or less ) and you for a fact know now that the problem is fixed and done right.
I have had bad rotor turns from shops and ever since my first bad run with them --- I just pay the extra 10 dollars and buy new rotors ( if the pads ever wear down that far to ruin the rotors -- which on my vehicle they dont -- it is always on my girlfriends car :-) ).
get NEW and you will be trouble free.

It is definitely a cam problem. Was your replacement cam sensor OEM Japanese Denso, Made in China or Made in Mexico? Never go cheap on sensors.
DTC P0348 stands for Camshaft Position Sensor "A" Circuit High Bank 2. This code triggers when the signal coming from the CMP sensor located in bank #1 is either missing or inconsistent. The CMP sensor measures the speed and position of the engine's camshaft.

If you can't find the audio amplifier under the seat as mentioned in the manual, there are a few other places you might want to check:
Trunk area: Some Lexus LX470 models have the audio amplifier located in the trunk area, often mounted on the side panels or near the rear speakers.
Behind the dashboard: In some vehicles, especially those with more complex audio systems, the amplifier may be located behind the dashboard or near the head unit. You may need to remove some panels to access it.
Under the center console: Occasionally, car manufacturers install amplifiers under the center console or beneath other interior panels. This location keeps the amplifier hidden and can save space in the trunk or under the seats.
Behind the glove compartment: Sometimes, especially in luxury vehicles like Lexus, the amplifier may be tucked away behind the glove compartment. Removing the glove compartment may give you access to the amplifier.
If you still can't locate the amplifier after checking these areas, you may need to consult with a professional car audio technician or refer to specific technical documentation for your vehicle model. They may have insights or access to resources that can help you pinpoint the exact location of the amplifier.
Certainly! Here's a question inspired by your inquiry:
"I'm a proud owner of a 1998 Lexus LX470 with the Lexus Premium Sound System, Matsushita Model No 8620-60320, Reference No CQ-LT4730A. Does anyone have information on the pin-out and schematic for this particular sound system? I'm looking to understand the wiring better and would greatly appreciate any insights or resources on this topic. Thank you!"
I have read this 6 times and still not sure what the issue is? I have a 2005 ES330. To open all the doors with the key fob, you have to double press the Unlock Button. Pressing the Unlock button once, only opens the driver door.

Yes, it is possible for the ECU to be bad even if it is still providing codes to the OBD2 scanner. The ECU is a complex electronic device and it is possible for one or more of its internal components to fail without affecting its ability to communicate with the OBD2 scanner.
In your case, the fact that the codes went away after replacing the #35 fuse and the IAC motor suggests that those were the underlying problems causing the "crank but no start" condition. However, the fact that the car still won't start after those repairs indicates that there is another problem, and it is possible that the ECU is at fault.
To be sure, you would need to take the car to a qualified mechanic and have them perform a more thorough diagnosis. The mechanic may be able to test the ECU to see if it is functioning properly. If the ECU is found to be bad, it will need to be replaced.
Here are some other possible causes of the "crank but no start" condition in your Lexus IS300:
Faulty fuel pump
Faulty spark plugs
Faulty ignition coil
Faulty camshaft or crankshaft sensor
Low compression in one or more cylinders
Clogged fuel filter
Restriction in the air intake system
If the mechanic is unable to find any other problems, then the ECU may indeed be the culprit. However, it is important to rule out all other possibilities before replacing the ECU, as it can be a costly repair.
