Should He Go For This Car Or Not? by legalwealth(m): 4:39am On Mar 23, 2020
Looking at the dashboard of this car which someone was interested in getting from a car dealer, some warning lights could be seen.

He called me to inspect the car which came out clean in, out and under; autocheck VIN report also came out fine. But after scanning it, result showed;

1. Back left wheel abs sensor
2. TPMS fault

and these warning lights stayed on the dashboard of the car.

Should he pay for the car?
Will fixing the abs sensor and TPMS really remove all the warning lights from the dashboard of the car even after I cleared all DTCs?

P.S: I already told him my piece of advice but I want to confirm from the house if what I told him is good. Thanks in advance! !!

Why not look for the same car somewhere else and see what the dashboard looks like as well

Wow!
Not good!
Just like in that movie on netprick.
One more light comes up and the car will blow up. It's a remote switch by d previous owner of the car to kill d new owner.

Others he has seen are not as clean as this one in particular.

Replacing the abs sensor will clear 90% of the warning lights. What is the TPMS code? As long as the module is not fried, the fix can go from as cheap as inflating the tires to as expensive as replacing the TPMS sensor/s.

Legalo and ES350 sha!!! grin grin grin

Say the truth & shame the Satan.. Na your motor be this..

Ideally, replacing the faulty ABS sensor should take out most of the error lights

As for the TPMS, remember that "big" scanner you were showing off? If you know how to use it, you will be able to identify the specific TPMS fault..
Could be as easy as low or high tire pressure or defective tire pressure modules.

After seeing your post about your purchase with Calculuxs.
I will suggest you stay away from buying Nigerian used cars and buy your Lexus directly from US.

72k mileage is the first sign of fraud, you don't need another drama

Do't go for another awoof if it is clear you can't afford the real thing

This is actually for a client who wanted to buy it. I now run related services as it can be seen and confirmed in the images attached! !!

Besides, I later got Lexus Es 350 2010 directly from USA after I returned the Lemon Lexus Es 350 2007 to Calculusx.
