Hello everyone!
Please I have a question!
My lexus es 350 2008 model just started displaying some lights on the dashboard and I don’t know what it means. I just recently bought the car, changed the engine oils to 5W-30 Mobil oil. Can someone please help explain these to me? I attached the pictures below.

It's no lemon. Traction lights off,check engine light on. Check for the sensors at the tyres if them never disconnect them. Then clear off error codes. No drive mlike that,unless gear and engine go park up

I no dey read message. Fool . It seems u did not work hard for this money. Dey carry the car give diff ppl make dem spoil am 4u. Do t forget lexus no be benz,it's highly computerised. If u like drive it like that,make your speedometer no shift,soon e go affect gear. When u see that slippery symbol wey resemble tyre,na traction control. And I damn sure your traction lights go dey blink. Loose all the tyres with your jack check for the sensors or loose wires,it might be a minor ish. Use scanner to scan so it can pin point the actual problem. No drive am like that if not u go buy new engine. Spend this money,visit a competent mechanic or enter ladipo. Highest u go spend 3 to 5k on workmanship. I have bought two cars with rolled back mileage and I only changed shocks and brake pads with engine oil. Pls dont take this lexus to any useless mechanic,them go spoil am. Any small thing that happens,affects the rest of lexus cars,from bad tyre,to bad alignment,to bad sensors. Use obd 2 scanner or buy one at aliexpress max 3k. It's a tokunbo car and not brand new,so it must have hidden fault. From bad ball joint,to worn out pads,etc. That's why it's called tokunbo,forget all those story of nothing to fix. U go fix many minor things for the cat,why cos oyinbo no get time go mechanic and them no get bad road,so dem go dey manage am like that till e reach naija. If to say u get money,u for buy brand new car. Just take care of am,and its not a racing car,its a luxury car so drive am with sense.and no make mechanic scam u. Shocks na like 25k front,back 20k,no make mechanic scam u. Always price parts and tell the parts seller to show u fake,that u can't afford original.so with that u go get sense on which part be fake or refurbished. Lexus na big man car and u go spend money,but not up to benz parts.

Update Update Update
The car was scanned!! And the error displays was wiped off, The man now recommended that I should take to a mechanic to look at the catalyst because it displayed on the system that the fault was from the catalyst. (It could be from the catalyst sensor)
I went in late, The mechanic briefly looked at it and asked me to come back tomorrow so he could examine it well. He also said that one of the catalyst connecting to the engine looks like something that is clogged(blocked) and it could damage the engine but he is not sure yet until he loses and examined it well tomorrow.

He said if it is clogged (blocked) that he will have to break it out and I will now have only one catalyst connected to the engine and the other one at the back.
He said that it won’t affect the vehicle and it won’t affect the fuel consumption too.
