Check engine light
Sup everybody, I've had my 91 Ls400 for about 3 weeks now and it has about 164,000 miles. My check engine light came on last night while i was driving on the freeway. I was in a hurry to get home so i didnt warm up my car. I started up the car this morning and warmed it up for about 7 mins. and the light didnt come back on during my drive. Do you guys think the light just came on because i didnt warm up my car last night or is it likely there's something wrong with the engine. Thanks

i think i figured out the problem...i heard that lexus' check engine light sometimes comes on when you dont turn the key to the right enough...today i turned the key softly and then the check light came on...i turned it off and did the same thing again...still on...so then i turned it to the right harder and then the light went away.

Check engine light came on to tell you something is wrong with the car via the computer. Warming up the car has nothing to do withit, beside you don't have to warm up the car before you drive. 10 sec. after start up you can drive the car, just don't raise the rpm too high until the engine is at operating temperature.
Do a search in SC400 and/or this forum on check engine light. I post a procedure on how to retrieve the trouble code out a looong time ago... Each code has different problem. Post the code here and some one will try to help... These trouble code are Toyoya code so any Toyota book will at least give you a hint on what wrong with the car...
