Check Engine Light and VSC/TRAC Off on 2001 Lexus RX300 - How to Fix and Clear Fault Codes
My 2001 Lexus RX300 is showing a Check Engine light while driving. Two days ago, I refilled the fuel tank and suspect the gas cap was not fully closed. I have since tightened it securely, but the warning light remains on. Some users suggest that driving approximately 11 miles may clear the code—does this actually work for my vehicle? Are there other potential causes or symptoms I should monitor?
Please post the specific error codes. You can use an auto parts store's OBD2 scanner or a personal OBD2 reader to retrieve and interpret them accurately.
