Even though OBDII was not mandatory until 1996 when most cars first had it, Lexus was a step-ahead and 1995 is fully OBDII compliant...except for Calif and CARB (Calif Air Resources Board) requirements

My guess is a Coolant Temp Sensor.

I had my airbags replaced and the entire dash board of my car replaced. When I put my car in the shop there was nothing wrong with my car before I put it in the shop. Now in less then a week after getting my car out of the shop my VSC light and check engine light came on and will not go off. Does the repairs have anything to do with these lights coming on? In addition, when I got my car back my gas cap and trunk would not open using the button inside the car. 1 Answer
