Please what do these lights signify?
Car: Lexus ES300, if that's relevant
the check is the CHECK ENGINE LIGHT aka CEL. your engine computer turns that on when there is a fault detected and an error code is stored on the computer.
i will get back to you later on the other light. i currently do not have information on it

Good Evening My Husband has been the person working with the mechanic. The current mechanic scanned it but I don't have information on the codes

The steering is not stiff, no noise from the steering
The EPS light comes on, temperature gauge, rpm and gear signs go off.
The car begins to move very slow.. Also AC goes off.

I will show this feedback to him and get back to you. Thank you
thank you for providing more info on this. I have a feeling you have an electrical fault which is causing the EPS light come on and the other symptoms you just mentioned. AC going off and vehicle driving slow sounds like what we call LIMP MODE.
kindly get a competent tech, scan all the modules on that vehicle. you will find your fault. post codes if you can.

Thank you
thank you for the info provided. pls kindly carry out a scan on all the modules on the vehicle. reason being that, what you are experiencing might not be isolated to the Electronic Steering System (EPS) alone. there is a reason the engine computer shuts down systems and puts the vehicle in limp mode. being a CAN fault, there is a possibility a system is failing causing the above symptoms. we need to know what fault is common to all the modules. this will help in the rest of the diagnosis.
so pls kindly scan all the systems and provide error codes. thanks

Programming issue. Your esc module needs to be coded and g sensor calibrated. It's a software not a parts issue. Also possible bad fuse or wire short

Esc from the c1702 being present

OH YEAH... thats true. but i felt it wouldnt be wise making a conclusion only based on just one module scan result. don't you think it would be wise to see other codes in other modules to give a better diagnosis process?

Too much noise coming from the car underneath

Monkeyprick:
Afternoon my Oga's ,I have been hearing gbi gbi sound underneath my car for a month, so i took it to a mechanic and he said one of my engine seat is bad. He removed it and put bushings ,yet the sound still persist.
Fast forward to yesterday, the sound was unbearable, as i opened the door to sit in, i heard something like a crack sound (which i suppose has to be the brake pads)..
Please what could likely cause this?
Wear out shaft /brake pads or linkage?
Also, the car makes so much noise whenever i drive on interlocking stone, could that be a linkage stabilizer?
Please help me out Bosses.

bros this thing no hard o. what you need to do is get your mechanic check your suspension parts. a faulty engine seat usually causes vibration and stuff. not likely it will cause noise on the road.
however your problem most likely lies in faulty bushings, linkages, shock absorber, spring, shock pads, linkage etc
an ordinary (careful) visual inspection will really help you get this fixed right. don't throw parts. diagnose it right...

It was based on all three codes. The module accompanied with a faulty fuse or short would throw that combination of codes

my money has been more on a CAN fault. haven read this i am more convinced this is most likely a short in wiring or communication fault.
Peejaygold09... just get yourself a very good electrical technician to diagnose this fault.

Good afternoon all. All efforts have Ben exhausted. The brainbox of another Kia was put in the engine of the Accent and the EPS went off. Then the brainbox of the accent was put in the Kia and the EPS sing came on instantly in the Kia dashboard.
Verdict : repair brain box or buy another one. embarassed embarassed
Brainbox had been worked on last year.

Please I need your assistance: cry

Should I repeair brainbox again (referral needed)
Should I just buy another one (referral needed too)

AutoMoTech:

When you hear dis boiling water noise have you openee the bonnet to check?
Off my head you could possibly have an overheating problem.if the noise is from the radiator or expansion tank, then you sure have an overheating issue.
If so you will need to get your cooling system checked
Possible causes;
Head gasket might be blown
Radiator cover might have failed
You might have a leak somewhere
Etc...

Kindly inspect and revert






Thanks, I took it to a mecho around my house and he told me it is the engine seat that needs to be changed.

Please where can I get a good auto mechanic for my Lexus ES350 in port Harcourt. I don't mean road side mechanics. A good auto maintenance company that specializes in modern Toyoto and Lexus cars will be very much appreciated. Their location and contact number will be very much appreciated too.

That is what I was told by the mechanic, he opened the bonnet,asked one of his boys to start the car and he observed for a while. He then concluded it' s nothing much to worry about,that it's engine seat.
