If you have both codes then most likely the catalytic converter is not there or has disintegrated in which case your sensor is fine. |
Re: Club-Lexus by Emperoh(m): 11:10am On May 19, 2015 |
nissparts: I have three recurrent codes and they come up in this order after i clear them with my device; First P2241 comes up and then after driving for another 100 miles or more, P0430 comes up and then the last after almost 400 miles is P0442 which has to do with Evap system detecting very small leak. I am just wondering they are related too. The thing is, i am getting ready to face this demon and conquer it. But i don't want some trial and error. It concluded based on discussions here, that P2241 causes P0430. but with what you now said, i no sure again. So what's the best repair approach cause i believe one system is causing all these 3 issues. |
Re: Club-Lexus by nissparts(m): 11:32am On May 19, 2015 |
Emperoh: The evap code is not connected. Have a panel or mech check the state of the cat converter in front. If absent or bad, replace. Leave the sensor for now till that check is done. |

nissparts: I did this last year. Was brought down and looked at. Even soaked in soapy water ![]() ![]() ![]() The net and all looked intact. The question then is, how do you know a bad Cat converter since it is existing? |
Re: Club-Lexus by nissparts(m): 12:25pm On May 19, 2015 |
If you've verified it is intact, clean and you have no leaks, you can go ahead with the sensor replacement |
Re: Club-Lexus by Emperoh(m): 1:13pm On May 19, 2015 |
nissparts: I did this at Car Doctor's place in Abuja last August. Brought it down and we looked at it. Everything looked intact and clean. We soaked it in soapy water for some hours and installed it back. But not long after, the lights came back. I guess i will do the sensor ish. One more thing, any way to determine a good tokumbo A/F sensor? |
Re: Club-Lexus by nissparts(m): 1:23pm On May 19, 2015 |
Emperoh: You'll need a scan tool that can monitor the o2 readings and ensure they match with the specifications which you can find in your service manual |
Re: Club-Lexus by Emperoh(m): 2:24pm On May 19, 2015 |
nissparts: My scanner does that......please see this link: https://www.nairaland.com/2082280/what-cheapest-way-deal-p0420/1#29826577 |
Re: Club-Lexus by ExpressBooking(m): 5:26pm On May 19, 2015 |
Please my people I need advice on a choice of car. I am looking at buying any of the following cars soon 2002-2006 Lexus ES300 2002-2006 Lexus ES330 2005-2007 Toyota Avalon 2007-2009 Toyota Camry. I am strongly contemplating between the Lexus ES300 and ES330. Apart from the Engine and gearbox what are the differences between both vehicles? Also what is the reliability of both vehicles |
Re: Club-Lexus by GAZZUZZ(m): 9:28pm On May 19, 2015 |
Emperoh: Since you are unsure, buy and instal an 02 sensor spacer, that should eleminate the cat code and 02 code, if 02 code comes back then for sure 02 sensor is bad. |
Re: Club-Lexus by tivta(m): 9:51pm On May 19, 2015 |
Gurus in the house, I have a question, why is lexus rx 330 and rx 300 very popular in lagos despite its numerous problems listed by carcomplaints.com ? Is it that cheap to buy and maintain? |
Re: Club-Lexus by Emperoh(m): 10:11pm On May 19, 2015 |

Re: Club-Lexus by Nobody: 11:44am On May 20, 2015 |
tivta: You weren't wondering why its sooooo popular in Lagos, rather, you were wondering why you were thinking "why is lexus rx 330 and rx 300 very popular in lagos despite its numerous problems listed by carcomplaints.com". And don't deny it because I quoted it from you. Finally, we no dey fight. |
Re: Club-Lexus by tivta(m): 1:54pm On May 20, 2015 |
lomomike:. Mr lawyer I have heard you oh, lol, now can you please finally answer my question as to why its so popular, plus hope the spear parts are cheap as well? I just want to gain some knowledge. Thanks. |
Re: Club-Lexus by ExpressBooking(m): 5:52pm On May 20, 2015 |
That's no good way to gain knowledge, but we will oblige you. First Lexus RX300 and Lexus RX330 stands out on a class of it's own. It is beautifully made and exotic yet affordable. Imagine a 2001-2003 Lexus RX300 beats every other cross over SUV from other vehicles makers of same year model or even later, hands down. So it is with the RX330 and RX350. Let me be specific now, can you compare 2004-2006 Lexus RX330 with a 2008 Toyota Highlander or Honda Pilot interior,exterior, serviceability, reliability and performance wise. that's what we are talking about. Lexus isn't just a statement alone, to us it is a way of life. Club Lexus all the way. #IrepTeamLexus 2 Likes |

ExpressBooking: Bros thank you for telling him about lexus. But you even get time. With all the whole praise, worship, psalms and proverbs and genesis to revelation of Lexus RX300/330/350/400h I've been shouting in this thread from beginning till date, he didn't bother to even go thru the thread, yet he started making inquiry on 'possible problem'. When lomomike fire am igbo business man style of dismissing bad market, him call lomomike 'lawyer' ![]() Choi! I wan tell am, I no be lawyer, na HSE/ Urban and Regional Planner I be o! ![]() |
Re: Club-Lexus by Nobody: 7:39pm On May 20, 2015 |
tivta: Town planner I don see you o! Ehen, make I answer your inquiry. The popularity of toyota/lexus is gotten from the African Adage, "na who no like beta thing?" ![]() No mind me, na shouting and raking I dey do now. But really, any good Lexus RX series model is the best luxury crossover money could buy. Its expensive, but it gives you rock solid reliability, beauty, perfection, peace, durability and class irrespective of the model/series. |
Re: Club-Lexus by tivta(m): 8:24pm On May 20, 2015 |
lomomike:. Thanks, you mentioned expensive, am surprised it is cause of its popularity. Well thank God for its good reviews compared to xttera 06 transmission issues. Carry go bro. |
Re: Club-Lexus by Nobody: 8:45pm On May 20, 2015 |

Re: Club-Lexus by Nobody: 7:57pm On May 22, 2015 |
tivta: When a particular car model is suddenly very popular on the road, especially one with an old model year (e.g. 97 - 99 Camry) I think the parent company has discontinued its production The price is usually reduced and makes it easier for car dealers to sell them off their stands to make room for newer models That's a trend I've observed |
Re: Club-Lexus by Nobody: 8:28pm On May 22, 2015 |
noxide: Well, you might have a point, however, that's not the main point. Ever wondered why 2010-date prado, 2008-2015 highlander, 2010-date landcruiser and 2007-date camry are hot sales? Durability, reliability, customers satisfaction, safety etc. Ever wondered why 2000-date landrover freelanders ain't common? |
Re: Club-Lexus by tivta(m): 8:30pm On May 22, 2015 |
noxide:. Nice observation, but the lexus rx models are from 2005 upwards yet quite popular, am just surprised its that popular despite being expensive, if it was xterra we all know its the cheapest of body on frame suv's. |
Re: Club-Lexus by princely83(m): 9:57pm On May 22, 2015 |
Hello all. Please I need some help with my rx330. My fuel cap fell on the ground and since then a check engine light came up with vsc. (Apparently the check light is switching off the vsc as a failsafe process). I scanned the car and the P0453 code came up(evaporative emisions bla bla....). I also perceived smell of fuel whenever I start the car. Please what can be done to solve this prob as i have ordered and used a brand new fuel cap and the prob still persists. |
