The trac off, check engine
CHECK ALL THE WHEEL SPEED SENSORS WHICH ARE AT EACH WHEEL. THEY EACH HAVE A CONNECTOR THAT OFTEN COMES UNPLUGGED. HAVE YOU HAD ANY BRAKE OR AXLE WORK DONE? THAT IS USUALLY WHEN THEY GET UNPLUGGED.

Check engine light has come
Hello pbanerjja.
The check engine light on your Lexus has come on to notify you that the computer has detected a problem in the system. There are several hundred possible codes that will turn on the light. Some are serious enough to cause damage, others are not.
In some cases such as a loose fuel cap, the light will eventually turn off if the fault is no longer there. But usually you will need to have the vehicles computer scanned to access the code or codes stored in order to proceed with repair.
If you live in the USA auto parts supply stores such as Autozone will do the scan for free in the hopes you will purchase the required parts from them.
Sometimes it will be a straight forward repair, others will take the skill of an experienced technician to take the code and do some detective work to pin it down.
If you require further advise on your question, please ask me here in comments.

It depends on how old the battery is.
4 years or more could be a bad cell.
3 years could be a bad connection on dirty terminals.
1 year could be a weak solenoid or starter if it does it every now and then.
Best bet is to do a load test on the battery. Then check the connections then solenoid/starter in that order. Hope this gets you the info you needed and thanks for using FixYa.
Need to replace oxygen sensor
TO REPLACE OXYGEN YOU NEED A SLOTTED SOCKET AND A TUBE ANTI SEIZE COMPOUND. MOST OF THE TIME NEW OXYGEN SENSOR ALREADY HAS ANTI SEIZE COMPOUND USED ON THE THREADS.TO REPLACE OXYGEN SENSOR FIRST CRANK VECHICLE FOR A FEW MINUTES SO YOU CAN REMOVE OXYGEN SENSOR MORE EASILY. ONCE YOU GET THE EXHAUST LITTLE WARM.YOU DISCONNECT OXYGEN SENSOR CONNECTOR TAKE SLOTTED SOCKET REMOVE OXYGEN SENSOR APPLY ANTI SEIZE ON OXYGEN SENSOR THREADS THE SCREW IT IN PLACE..WEAR LONG SLEEVES COVERALLS, SAFETY GLASSES KEEP RUST PARTICLES GETTING INTO YOUR EYES. AND LEATHER GLOVES KEEP HANDS FROM CUTS AND EXHAUST BURNS. IF YOU REPLACING DOWN STREAM OXYGEN SENSOR YOU HAVE TO RAISE VECHICLE SUPPORT ON JACKSTANDS. FOR UP STREAM OXYGEN SENSOR YOU CAN REPLACE WITHOUT RAISING THE VECHICLE.REASON I SAY CRANK ENGINE TO WARM UP EXHAUST SYSTEM BECAUSE METAL EXPANDS WHEN HOT THAT MAKES REMOVING OXYGEN SENSOR EASIER. IF YOU DONT CRANK VECHICLE THE COLD CAUSES METAL TO SHRINK MAKING HARDER TO REMOVE OXYGEN SENSOR.POSSIBLY DAMAGING SENSOR THREADS WHILE TRYING TO LOOSEN SENSOR FROM EXHAUST MANIFOLD OR PIPE. YOU CAN BUY SLOTTED SOCKET AND ANTI SEIZE COMPOUND AT ANY AUTO PARTS STORES.
