WARNING: This page is about a different car, the 2003 Lexus GS 430, 2003 Lexus GS 300, 2002 Lexus GS 430, and 2002 Lexus GS 300. However, it is still accessible from the selected car via links, so may be relevant.
  1. Warning Light Circuit Plate -  Inspect the combination meter circuit plate. Remove the meter cover. Disconnect connectors "C", "D", "E", "F" and "G" from the meter circuit plate and inspect the connectors on the wire harness side. See CONNECTOR IDENTIFICATION . See INSPECTING WARNING LIGHT CIRCUIT PLATE  table. If the circuit is not as specified, replace the bulb or circuit plate.

When to See a Mechanic

Stop DIY work and contact a certified mechanic immediately if any of the following apply:

  • You smell fuel, burning insulation, or see smoke.
  • Brakes feel soft, pull hard to one side, or make grinding noises.
  • The engine overheats, stalls repeatedly, or misfires under load.
  • You are missing required tools, torque specs, or safe lifting equipment.
  • You are not confident in the next step or safety outcome.
