What did you do to/for your sc430 today?

Did the paper clip trick and it worked. Both vsc off and vsc lights went off. Drove the car about 1/2 mile and they did not come one. Hope its solved but, will swing by mechanic tomorrow to have him scan for the code again and go from there.
Thanks everyone here for all the great advise.

Keep in mind that when a CEL (Check Engine Light) occurs, the VSC Light will turn on, always. Hence most of us have built a device to turn off the VSC light, have used it countless times, very convenient.
Get an OBD Plug and solder Pins 4 and 14. Now you have a convenient tool.

Got the Lexus logo door puddle lights from Ebay today. Good and bad. The logo fully displays when installed with no part blocked. The bad part, o one side the unit does not clip on to the car and pops
out. Not sure if our door design, part design or what. I do like how they look and even if not fully flushed on one side, they fully display logo and won’t fall off. Just got to find time to fine tune and get them to fully sit properly. Couple of pics.

Added aftermarket hud display from Amazon. The speedometer gauge is so dark and hard to read on daytime and nighttime. Installed unit in a few minutes and got it just right for me. Image may look a little blurry or double in photo but when behind the wheel is as clear as can be.

What's the name of the leather strap that attaches to the top of the back rest and you loop the seatbelt through it. I need the driver side as it was missing when I got the car. Any links to where to buy or part number.

Make it a habit to look around your car, to see if any fluid is on the ground. It is a good habit that will reward you a lot. In terms of being ahead of any potential failure. In your case did you see the coolant on the floor? Or you just happen to detect the crack on the radiator?
