You need to hook up the OBDII scanner to read engine code. Your options are buy the scanner, take your RX to auto shops like Autozone or take it to a competent mechanic.

You can disconnect the battery for 10-15 min to clear some of the codes. If the problem is really there, the CEL light will come back in a short time.

Search for CEL [check engine light] and you will find many discussions.

my idiot lights were caused by my daughter leaving the engine running and toping off the gas. I made an appointment with Lexus and the lights just went off after a week. So I cancelled my appointment. Just my 2 cents

your advice to disconnect the batery worked and i dont have those lights anymore.

but the accelerator start working by changing one of the fuse....actually i checked all the fuses and found one gone...so i changed it and that worked...
