All cars should have rubber covers under the engine check your car if you do not have then it is as easy as to lay down under the car put your hand and a plier from under to the engine unlock cable then just pull hard the bonnet will pop. I can say this your car is btw 1999-2007

Good day. From the codes you posted i can confidently say the car is a 2 banker either a v6 or a v8. Both catalysts are gone. This is normal as i can say this car is between 2007-2012. The other codes are airbad codes and then the Ecm malfunction code is just because of the catalyst issue. You have to work on the catalyst and the airbags on that vehicle

Thanks boss.
Is lexus es350 2008 version. Got it around may
I don't even know how much it will cost to work on it.
Who can recommend any trustworthy and legit mechanic in Lagos mainland please

it has been resolved. A small pan close to the exhaust system was behind the drama. At higher speeds, the exhaust tends to vibrate thereby hitting the body/pan underneath causing the unusual noise.

Removing the catalyst from your car and putting spacers is a very wrong move. Firstly when you mean spacers do you mean spacers for the oxygen sensors of just a spacer pipe to replace the catalyst. Removing the catalyst is directly related to excessive fuel.consuption, engine noise, loss of power, engine overheating amongst others. Remember car manufacturers are not stupid to include them in cars so my brother why remove them. If you need a better explanation about why you must ise catalysts please ask me for explanation

Story.

I have removed it in one of my vehicles. Fuel economy has improved, gained 1mpg. Engine is not overheating and the vehicle is not experiencing any loss of power. The only thing I agree with is a louder exhaust note but who cares?

I even prefer the new exhaust note especially on startup

You cannot use maps on any car with map capability in nigeria because our satelites are incompactible. What you can do is get an android screen hook it up close by download the google map and can use that. I have pictures if you wish

Well let me say something. I bought my camry in February and have been having cold feet driving it cos am just a beginner. But when I saw my pregnant sister inlaw who is about my age driving the same type of car with total ease, I vex jump into mine and started driving, short distances at first and mastery of reverse movement. I can say now that driving is fun. I dnt take the car to work cos of parking space but I jump into it every weekend and am loving it.
Do you need a driver? Or someone to drive the car on Uber platform and pay you weekly.

The mistake we make is we feel the mpg youbsee on your dash is the fuel.consumption but youre wrong thst number is a calculated cumulative thats why when you fill your tank it resets. Sir the onlybreason why youbsaw on improved 1mpg is because u passed through less traffik rather than more traffik. As it states mpg amount moved per amount of fuel burnt means if ure in traffik that number reduces to 0 and increases on highway so lets be onpoint. Its also your choice if you decide to adhere its your car so good luck

Because of their very high importance they are important and most of us like tonlisten to mechanics who never went to school than the books. Yes catalytic converters are called catalysts they react with knock gases from engine to emit CO if oxygen is detected by the oxygen sensors it tells the ECU to add more fuel to burn the proportion of oxygen detected so they are very important
