Thanks, yuusaku,

i just checked out the forums and saw people posting questions with the check engine light codes they got.
too bad i won't be able to follow the steps to fix my car.. but i can see how people try to interpret codes..

my last mechanics probably have been trying to do the same with my car. i believe they really wanted to help, but car is still not fixed..

i'm planning to try with another shop, but it seems like the process will have to start all over again.. and the new shop might/ might not have a solution..
i'll bring my car's expensive 病歷紀錄 to them and hope they'll understand..

I got a question -
Are there different code readers for different cars, or it is all the same?
would there be some codes that only the dealership's reader can see but not other car shops?

Hoping to find a 唐人car shop this time..

好少問題﹐甚至係油缸個蓋無扭實個engine燈都會著﹐咩都另去車房盞益D車房佬。
睇車人架車換左兩次oxygen sensor 就知個車房佬玩野。
唔自己check下咩事盞任人魚肉。

作者: soli 時間: 2010-10-9 11:03

engine 燈著即係排氣有問題﹐唔代表個engine壞。個engine 燈既存在只係for環保purpose。
大概得兩種code reader, 一種for係舊野OBDI(1995年前既車)﹐另一種係新野OBD2.
而加買到既reader 實read 到OBD2既車﹐而個code 係一樣既。

作者: Prelude 時間: 2010-10-9 12:27

engine 燈著 doesn't must mean engine has problem, but it can.
Most car can be checked for code meaning in some way without OBD2 reader. But of course, it's better to have OBD2 reader, a decent one can cost $150+.

Any noise? Any stutter acceleration? Change spark plug? Oil change?

本來我睇到個 post 都費事出聲窒你架喇，但真係估唔到你可以低能成咁。

家吓嘅車咁多電子野，着 engine 燈你估淨係排氣可以有問題咩？由 intake 到 throttle body 到 engine oil 到 coolant 到 sensor 到 cat 到 exhaust，再數返去 fuel rail、coil pack、spark plug、到部腦同其他野，9000幾樣野都好以壞咗然後着 CEL。「個engine 燈既存在只係for環保purpose」都講得出，我真係 O晒嘴～

以福士同 Benz 來講，無錯佢係會出 ODB II 嘅 code，但係用原廠部 diagnostic 電腦來 check 嘅話就會話多好多野俾你聽。Toyota/Lexus 會唔會咁樣，我就唔知。

無知並不是罪﹐ 真正的罪是以無知為榮。

回樓主阿哥：
知唔知道之前換咗果兩個 oxygen sensor 係唔係同一個 sensor 呢？因為如果無記錯嘅話，ODB II 嘅車通常最少會有兩個 oxygen sensor (pre cat 同 post cat)，而你 V6 偈就好可能每邊排嘅氣缸都各自有自己嘅 catalytic converter。其實 8、9年個 oxygen sensor先死，我都唔會太奇怪，但始終如果無啦啦個 oxygen sensor 自己死嘅話，我估佢係表面 symptom 嘅機會始終高啲。

另一個可以諗諗嘅方法係換車。架車其實都成 10年，開始多野壞就預咗架喇。如果來緊頭預計得到仲會有多野煩嘅話，其實換新車亦未嘗唔係一個更簡單嘅方法。Trade in 嘅話，你架車大若會值＄7500 -- ＄10k 到。

my car..
*sigh* poor thing,
me managed to tilt it by about 70 degree to the right before

yes, almost flipped side ways.
and it was running alright the next day!

but that winter, car started to have lots of problems
and the 西裝油told me to replace engine, takes about $4000up.
He said there is gasoline shooting back at my engine, but didn't explain why.. didn't quite trust him.
we decided to listen to more opinion and so brought car to current mechanic..
and this mechanic said car is alite.. just 晒D油...

like hailrabitspace said, car is always running when CEL is on! LOL
but velly faan law.. and $$$$$$$
every few months start to stall gum law.

This time car is still running quite smoothly, just making weird noises once in a while..

IF there is another mechanic that tells me there really IS gasoline shooting back at my engine, i might really just change the engine this time! ><

呵呵呵～你要死口唔認嘅話，我都無謂同你調低能仔坳落去。但如果 OBD 只係如你話齋係用來搞環保野嘅話，咁點解叫做 on-board diagnostics，而唔係叫做 environmental friendly / green engine management 之類嘅野呢？以 Soli兄嘅「高見」，唔知 diagnostics 係咪解環保呢？

你係咁勁、咁能有料嘅話，又唔見你去幫樓主師兄 DIY 整好架車？

Re: OP
IMO, if you really to have the engine replaced, I'd much rather just trade the car in for something else. At most, your car is worth $10k to trade in, and $4k is just too big a chunk of money for repairs on a $10k car.

OBD stands for onboard diagnostics and OBD-II is a collection of connection and protocol standards standards for all cars sold since 1996, when the OBD-II specification was made mandatory by the U.S. government.

OBD technology was born out of the Environmental Protection Agency's (EPA) and California Air Resources Board's (CARB) mandate that vehicles equipped with more-sophisticated emissions equipment and better diagnostics systems to monitor that equipment. The agencies wanted to ensure that new vehicles were running as cleanly and efficiently as they could.

白痴力﹐我希望你最起碼知道oxygen sensor ﹐catalytic converter 又或者MAF sensor..etc係用黎做乜。
如果唔知﹐就上網google下﹐唔google既我都費事再徙力打字﹐你就繼續無知落去啦白痴力。
講返主題﹐
個mechanic 話會晒D油﹐“我諗”有可能其中一個code 話 system too rich﹐即係入油同入空氣落個engine比重唔o岩﹐俾油太多﹐所以晒油兼唔環保(所以CEL著)。其原因可能係入氣太少﹐相對地就變成俾油太多落engine。又可能係oxygen sensor 壞左或者污糟左sense 唔到出氣oxygen﹐唔係個system too rich。仲有好多可能﹐不過邊個係真要車房佬自己先知﹐樓主如果要試可以慢慢繼續。

不過車房佬講野﹐too lean 都可以話too rich﹐屈人換野﹐所以唔知個code 講乜都無用。

Sounds to me like you've been taking the car to an independent shop for repairs. While generally that's what I would recommend as well, if the problem proves to particularly troublesome, a good alternative is to take the car back to the Lexus dealership to have them look into the problem. Compared to the independents, dealership mechanics tend to have a better network of diagnostic support to tackle particularly troublesome problems. On top of that, they service their brand of vehicles far more than most independent, all-make shops, so they might be better informed of common issues that arise in their vehicles.

Last but not least, a word of advice is that there is no such thing as 唔捨得 when it comes to cars. In many ways, the car is a tool that assist you on your many tasks in life. If you value it and the appreciate all the help and years of service that it has provided you, you treat it with care and respect and perform all the necessary scheduled and unscheduled maintenance that it requires. Then when the time comes where the car has outlived its usefulness or cease to make financial sense, you give it the proper send off it deserves, and you move on to your next vehicle.

多口問句
使唔使 UPDATE 個 CODE READER
新型號嘅讀唔讀到？

作者: Lik 時間: 2010-10-11 10:53

What do you mean by 新型號? As in, will newer cars require an updated reader to read their codes?

Certain OBD II readers can be reflashed to get firmware upgrades, but they usually only pertain to the new / extra functions that the reader can perform. As far as reading codes goes, I am pretty sure manufacturers are required to conform to the OBD standards and protocols in relaying those signals. So until a new OBD III standard is ratified, any OBD II readers should be able to read codes off any OBD II cars.

(But as I was saying before, certain manufacturers add their own proprietary diagnostics stuff on top of the OBD II standard, and with those, you have to go along with the manufacturer-specific readers and updates.)

WAHAHHAHA..  that's me!!!!
4 wheel drive
not snowing
not raining
STILL DROVE INTO DITCH!!!  ><
well.. sth happened that day be4 the accident.. so.. "sum bud joi yin". good that nobody got hurt.

保養 i thought i did ok..
current mechanic said reason for engine dying = me didn't go for oil change enuf..
I used to go to dealership ga ma, until like the last 2 yrs after running into the ditch and flipping the car..
lexus always called when it's time for oil change
so i probably DID get oil change when i was supposed to..  ..
and for the recent 2 yrs, i have been going to the same place.
car needs to be fixed every few months- half year..
i THOUGHT oil change etc was taken care of,
until the last time engine light was on, and the mechanic said the engine was filled with "gunk" that was supposed to be the engine oil.. Engine oil was all "caked up" inside..
They even showed me the "oil paste" too.. =.=

Mechanic said it happened because I was long due for an oil change - i believe that was the first time i "missed" going for oil change when i should've.. and it was because i assumed car was taken car of for those times when i bring my car to get fixed! I guess they just fixed the parts, like replaced O2 sensor.. idle control valve etc.. but didn't help me do oil change.

deem gee woh~~

so yea..
they helped me wash out all the gunk
helped me do oil change
and told me it should get better now if i keep doing oil change on time.

but in less than 2 month's time
engine light was on again (and this is when i start to think i should try a different car shop)
and it was making weird noises...

i just went back in the afternoon today
and talked with the mechanic (who showed me the oil paste in my engine last time

)
he was surprised my engine oil level was very low!

at first he got a liter of engine oil
started pouring...

not enuf

went in and got another liter..

STILL not enuf

he knelt down to check the bottom of my car (me squatted down to check too)- nothing was leaking..

he told me it usu takes 5 L to do oil change
he had to pour 3L of oil into the engine this afternoon to get it back to normal levels..

so car must've been burning some of the engine oil.. =.=
he said that's a sign of the engine ceasing up..

I then told him the story of how the first mechanic at lexus told me there was gasoline shooting back at my engine, and how we dismissed the problem because the front desk person at the current car shop told me the engine will probably burn off that extra oil..

I told the mechanic that i really wanna keep this car..
asked him for suggestions
and suggestions were:
1. replace engine with new engine
2. replace with old engine with low mileage
3. take current engine apart and replace problematic parts

and he said option 2 is cheapest.

We marked down the mileage i have on my car today
and i'll go back in about a week,
so he can find out how much engine oil was burnt..

I kinda trust this mechanic..
he seem genuine and experience .. (maybe because of white hair! LOL)

sowie for the long post..

and thanks for everyone's 高見!

重有要換timing belt (avg 120,000km)

新偈又好，新車又好，係想對佢、對自己都好啲嘅話就用合成油（synthetic oil）啦。車頭又會行得順啲、好力啲、慳油啲，而機件損耗亦會少啲而變相令到副偈長命啲。

佢係肯換油既，普通油都已經好好啦！實在見太多人以為用左synthetic就有排都唔使換油，一樣玩死車頭！

habitrailspace: 冇錯我都同意，即使LEXUS recommend 160,000km至換timing belt，但係我都recommend 4-5年/10萬左右做晒timing belt/timing belt tensioner/水泵/cam seal/crank seal之類既野！

咁多?!

有邊啲係重點啲??

the mechanic briefly mentioned synthetic oil...

作者: Lik 時間: 2010-10-14 10:21

師兄大佬，

無話邊樣保養係重點唔重點啲㗎。要計嘅話，最重點自然就係要好似 spoonek4兄所講嘅（最少要） keep 住每4個月／8000km去換一次 engine oil。但咁唔代表其他 maintenance 唔重要。迫力油、波箱油、尾牙油、power steering fluid、engine coolant、火咀、各樣皮帶、CV boot cover、CV joint、氣隔、油隔、電池等等樣樣野到期嘅話其實都要換㗎啦？

人地話一養車就一闊三大真係唔係同你講笑㗎！但你對架車好之時，佢咪又對返你好咁囉。

Classic situation. Never start tracing codes until you know the mechanical condition of the engine is good....sigh...the first 4 pages all talk about how to get codes or diagnose codes...novice here...

It's too bad that you ruined such a good reliable Lexus...
