DO NOT TRY TO REPAIR/REPLACE module yourself unless you have the diagnostic computer to be able to set/reset functions,keys etc.....the check engine light can be reset by a dealer.remember diahatsu is owned by toyota/lexus could work out cheaper calling to see if they are willing to reset

Power steering fluid is fairly generic. Buy a good quality brand. If the system is low, it has to be leaking somewhere. In that case use a good conditioner such as the one made by Lucas. It is the only brand name product I've ever used that has worked on a consistent basis. And, will not harm internal components.(sound like a salesman? I'm not!) No chemical will repair broken or severely worn parts, but seals can dry out and leak. Never use transmission oil in power steering. That used to be OK but is not now.

this ones kind of tough for an amateur. You need to pop off most of the little black retainers holding the trunk lid liner on. then theres the emergency handle that you use to get out if your locked in the trunk. you need to pull on the far end of the handle and the outer cover will come off. you may need a small screwdriver to remove it. then pull straight down, really hard and the handle will come off. then remove the rest of the liner. the bulbs are 194a bulbs. available pretty much anywhere. reinstall in the reverse order.

There are 2 PDF documents to open from that page (above the picture).
The first (Routing guide) gives you the belt routing diagram code for your car (diagram 6-10).
The 1995 lexus ES 300, GS 300 and Sc300 all have the same engine and belt configuration so refer to the 1995 GS300.

The second PDF (Illustration) shows the belt diagram for code 6-10.

Hope this helps.
Cheers.

you have most likely burned a fuseable link to the starter, check all the fuses under the hood, also check the wires to the starter, the large one from the battery especially

If you look straight up inside the bumper you will see the plug that holds the bulb just twist and it will come out.

1. Open the hood and remove the plastic clips that hold the front plastic splash guard in place. This is done by pushing on the center of the plastic buttons to depress them slightly. The button (clip) can then be removed. For the buttons (clips) with the philips head center, lift the philips head center until you hear a click and then remove the whole clip.
2. Remove the plastic splash guard.
3. Remove the three 10mm bolts that hold the lens assembly to the fender.
4. On the fender side of the lamp assembly there is a plastic clip that is inserted in a small flange which is part of the fender. Use a flat screwdriver to put pressure on the back of the post that protrudes thru this clip. This post, that is part of the lamp assembly, helps to hold the assemble in the correct position. Once that post is free of the clip the lens assembly can easily be removed.
5. Un-clip the wires to the main headlights and the the parking/turn signal lamp and remove the lens assembly from the vehicle.
6. In the case of a fast blinking turn signal, remove the turn signal bulb, test to be sure it is good, and clean the contacts of the blub, bulb holder, and the printed circuit strip on the lamp assembly.
7. Reassemble everything and test.
8. Replace the lamp assemble in the fender and secure the splash guard with the clips.
9. This should be about a 1/2 hour job.

check air flow sensor

Hello...

It is located Rear Center Of the Engine.

Good Luck

Follow the lower hose up to the water pump where there is a housing for the thermostat. To remove this you will first, want to take the front right tire off then the dust guard for it; the thermostat housing should now be viseable. Then you will want to take the plastic windshield washer, and engine coolant reserviors off to make the job easier. Next take the bottom rad. hose off the water pump(where it goes to, from the radiator). then struggle for awhile with taking the three nuts that hold the thermostat housing together (a wobbler bit on a socket wrench can make this job easier). Once these are off you can unplug electric plug on top of the housing, pull that part of the housing off and there the thermostat sits in all of its evasive gloriousness waitng for you .

Hi,
If the hood will not stay open and it uses gas shocks. This means the shocks have gotten too weak to do their job. You will want to replace the hood shocks. Looks like they range from about 30$-100$.

Thank you,

Hi, your best bet will be to get a leak detection kit which basically includes some dye and a black light. You add the dye to the coolant, run the car for a bit, and then use the black light to determine where the leak is coming from, it will show up in a fluorescent color. Good luck!

Clicking souns is usually the result of the u-joint boot being busted and then sand and such get into the u-joint and destroy it, menaing you have to replace the entire assembly. It's best to fix the boot before the damage is done, and it costs less to.
If you have both sides doing it, it will be a few $$$$.

If you have power to the bulb,It has to be no ground,
Check the ground wire.

Open the hood - It will be mounted to the power brake booster - a large round thing mounted to the firewall on the driver's side. There will be a removeable cap that should have some information on it. If it says use D.O.T. 3 brake fluid that is what you ask for. You may want to have your brakes inspected at one of the shops that offers the service free. The reason brake fluid normally goes down is because of brake pad wear but a leak in the system could cause it.
