my 2001 es300 has the check engine light and the trac off light on I just recently had the o2 sensors replaced. Im worried my catalytic converter is the problem and I heard it 4 grand to replace

Asked by Charles Oct 30, 2014 at 12:27 PM about the 2001 Lexus ES 300 FWD

Question type: Maintenance & Repair

Is this all being caused by a bad catt? Ive read all the symptoms and the only ones that related to the situation is jerky acceleration and a faint rattling noise from my exhaust

Symptoms of a bad catalytic cover would be sluggish acceleration, poor fuel economy, cats glowing red hot. Have the codes read and let us know what they are. The trac light is on because the system has been shut down. It is probably directly related to the check engine light being on.

Mine kept doing that too. I finally got rid of it. I took a gamble buying the car. It was a bad investment. I flipped it into a Toyota Prius Hybrid. I'm hoping with the gas savings, it will make of the difference of the loss.

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
