The SUV has about 106k miles so we have no warranty coverage any more. Recently my dashboard has 3 lights that have come on: -VSC - trac on - check engine It seems to come on after driving for a while especially on the freeway. Is it an electrical issue ? or is a loose connection ? or is it a transmission issue ? Is this a major problem ? Pls let me know.

Thanks, Irfan Smith Rather than making guesses, the best approach to diagnosing the condition would be to have the trouble codes scanned with an OBD II scan tool. Many parts stores will loan you a scan tool for free. If you scan the codes, write down the specific trouble code numbers, post them here, and we can help you narrow down the possible causes. -- Ray O (correct punctuation to reply) Back to top   Ads Advertising Sponsor Guest Posted: Tue Jul 01, 2008 3:22 am    Post subject: Re: Need input on my Lexus Take it to a parts store (like Autozone) and have the code read for free. It could be as simple as a vacuum hose on the filter housing (then MIL could show loose gas cap related codes) or many RX300 of that generation suffered from "Shift Solenoid E" failure. In which case the condition of the ATF will be poor (burnt, dark etc). That's around $5000-6000 problem. The U-series are not the most reliable transmissions.
