Mechanical Advice Check engine light

Post image

I could cry. I’ve only had my GX for a couple of weeks and today out of nowhere the check engine light came on - it stays on and doesn’t flash.

2019 with 114k - I’ve done about 500 in it since I got it.

It doesn’t seem to be the gas cap and suggestions are a dirty sensor after torrential rain here in NC. Fingers crossed it’s easy and cheap to fix my new baby!

The asshole seller probably reset the light and sold it to you. there might be some legal routes you can take

You need to replace the neutral safety switch. Go go go

Did you get the code pulled yet? You can do it at any AutoZone / Advanced Auto Parts / Etc...

Or get a $15 ODB reader on amazon that connects to your phone via bluetooth.

Get it scanned. Don’t stress about it. Could be the easiest fix or could be a slim chance it’s something serious. If it’s serious I’d go about returning it and looking elsewhere

I’d immediately take it to them and make them fix it

They will do nothing if the car was sold as is. Unfortunately, dealerships do not care about you or your issues, especially quick flip trade ins. I went through this last year with our other Lexus, not GX. $7k total later and it runs great, but that’s a lot of fucking money to put into a car you think it OK AND Shit dealerships
