Too many codes there you need to wipe the codes and see what pops up after the wipe. would think some of them are old codes.

Testimonial: "Alright I kinda figured that but none of those s codes look familiar?"

SOURCE: 98 lexus gs300 codes p1120 p1121

I wanted to start a thread specifically about failures within the throttle body concerning the GS300 (1998 in my case)

My symptons were:
VSC, VSC OFF, and ENGINE Lights would come on, followed by my car going into Limp Mode, where only that last 25% (if that) of the throttle would respond (basically have to floor the pedal to even move at all).

During the mornings, or when the engine was COLD, the throttle operated normal...then once the car warmed up, usually at about 10 mins, the problem would start...it happened intermitantly at first...1 or 2 days over the course of a week, then it became more consitent, until last week it became a daily problem.

The first part I tried was the Throttle Position sensor, which is on the front side of the throttle body, and the easiest thing to replace...this didnt help at all. $300 part from Lexus, $80 part from RockAuto.com (exacly same part toyota OEM)

THE PART THAT FIXED THE PROBLEM:
===========================================
"Idle Valve Motor", which is the larger electrical object next to the TPS on my 98 GS300. Problem is solved.

The Codes I got were P1120 and P1121 - Accelerator Sensor problem. However it wasnt really the Accelerator Sensor, it was indeed to actual electrical Motor that controls the opening of the Butterfly valve inside the Throttle body.

I found the problem by good old trouble shooting, and using an ohm meter to see if the throttle electric motor was getting elev, I found that the elec motor just to the left of the TPS was basically freaking out and shutting down. The Accelerator Pedal Sensor is on the Back-side of the throttle body where the throttle cable connects to, and has a spring on it. It was fine.

GS300's are indeed "drive by wire" concerning the throttle...the cable triggers the Accel Pedal Sensor, which sends a signal to the ECU, the ECU then sends power to the Idel Valve Elec Motor (next to the TPS), which opens and closes the mechanical butterfly valve, then the TPS sensor detects how far the elec motor is actually opening the butterfly valve...its a closed-loop feed-back system, meaning any failure in any sensor will cause the entire systm to fail.

The throttle cable apparently is ONLY there to allow the fail-safe of having that last 10-25% throttle when the electronic system fails...there is a gearbox inside the throtle body which allows the tail end of the throttle to manually engage the butterfly valve...the rest of the time, the butterfly valve is 100% opened and closed via the idle control motor.

Fix code C1201

C1201 engine trouble code is about Crankshaft Position Sensor A Circuit Low Input.
The reason of C1201 OBD-II Engine Trouble Code is Manifold Absolute Pressure/Barometric Pressure Circuit High Input.
Parts or components should not be replaced with reference to only a C1201 DTC. The vehicle service manual should be consulted for more information on possible causes of the fault, along with required testing.

I went to an auto parts store 'cause my check engine light and vsc light came on, on my 2006 Toyota Avalon-Touring. I bought a new gas cap a couple days ago. The light is still on.

You may have a loose hose in the evap system.
see the diagram below. The evap purge valve is on top of the engine as indicated. There should be a small diameter hose connected there. That hose runs under the car all the way to the charcoal canister, which is on top of the fuel tank. Check the hose for damage. If you can, check to see if it is connected to the canister and check the canister for damage as well.

Lexus is 250 repair

this will most likely to be a signal from one of the ABS sensors not in the correct range , it could just be a worn wire , and the signal to the ECU isn't making the correct adjustment/reading , will need to be checked by a auto electrician as they will know the correct procedure to trace the fault as you could spend hours searching and not find anything, do the brakes feel like they are operating correctly? if not i'd have this seen to as soon as possible
