I just purchased a 1993 Lexus and the engine light comes on. The previous owner says it does that but goes out after about 20 minutes. Is there anything I can do with this problem. I am a heavy duty mechanic. Or do I have to take it and have it diagnosed at the dealership for a hundred bucks.

The TRAC light goes off when the engine starts and then it comes back on. It says TRAC off all the time. Pressing the button does not change the TRAC off.

Hi setso,

Get a free scan done at Autozone and let me know the trouble code. The TRAC light could be triggerred by the CEL.
