I have a 2001 Lexus LX470. It is hard to say what the culprit is but I have several lights on and have tried jumping terminals to read flashing codes but no success. Right now I have the following lights on: ABS, VSC Trac, VSC Off, CEL, and Brake. I did have the shop (not dealer) look at it and they could not read any codes or find anything wrong with the ABS system. I am hoping someone with Techstream can help me out to read the codes. Thanks!
Can someone with Techstream in the Seattle area please help me with accessing codes? 2001 Lexus LX470 (1 Viewer)

Assuming it is driving normal? I bought one of my 2000 LXs with those lights on and no codes as well. Previous owner said the same thing about a dealership not finding any codes or useful information. Just quoted some insane amount from Hades to replace the ECU. So I bought it cheap. I took out the ABS ECU under dash, cleaned it up, plugged it back in and all lights went out. Been good for two years now. So it could be somethinng simple and certainly worth trying.

Hi, I have a Techstream and live in Dupont. If you can drive here feel free to use it.

Thanks @aleksey826 and @badlander for the help. I ended up buying the cable and installing Techstream. So now I am that guy in Seattle with Techstream! Hopefully found the culprit, bad ECU. Will attempt the repair or will buy one off eBay.

What year is your truck? I am curious as to all of the modules I should see in my 2001. Thanks.
@Robert Plant I would get in touch with @Mauser before messing with ECU. Mine is 2003 and I think you should see all models.

Thanks. That’s what I’m trying to figure out, what are all the modules I should be seeing I don’t quite remember, but I think I saw five.
