In our case it was the alternator. We had the same problem recently with our 2008 Land Cruiser J12, we kept taking it to the mechanic and he erased the error multiple times to drive it and see if it comes back and what triggers it. At one point, he kept erasing it and the 3 lights came on instantly after erasing the error. Then he said it was the alternator, he checked the charging of the batteties, there was no charging going on, we have beem running on the batteries alone. We changed the alternator, today we are picking up the car from the mechanic. There is no error anymore. This was our case. Good luck!
Hello. Yes there is a big problem with Toyota / Lexus wrong lamps. They come with way too much mix info. I had a very new alternator when this started. It charged well, but I read the wrong message after being. Things indicate that there is something with the Turbo control unit. Or now who is involved in controlling this. But as you say, a lot of people have got a lot of wrong lamps with bad dynamo, bad hanger contacts, etc. Thank you very much for the information! Greeting Pål (Paul)
Hello Paul! I have the same situation, exactly the same situation. I run the OBD and the error code is "P0045 - Turbo/ Super charger boost Control Solenoid Circuit / open". I have been doing research on this and the conclusion is, I have to change the turbo for sure (Part number on old turbo is 17201-30100 but it has been superseded by 17201-30161), along side the SCV (part number 294000-0380). The turbo is expensive. I will advice to not use the car for long drive, and run the OBD and hope not P0045 to appear. Also I think you should check your MAP sensor filter, if you see it has stains, it has to be changed, this is main issue with turbo failure, it is cheap but if not payed attention to, can break the turbo. This information took me a while to get and understand and hope this helps. Cheers
Good day! Thank you very much for the feedback! The hope is still that it could be a bug, such as vacuum leakage, sensor failure or the like... But as you say, it could also be the turbo. Unfortunately, I haven't gotten the car into the garage, and could start searching for faults yet. My e-Golf is sitting there, waiting for me to get in better shape, and can have the springs and wheel bearings changed on it. I'm crossing my fingers to hope for an affordable solution! Will come back with a new video when I get further in the detective work, finding what's doing it to my car :) Best regards Pål (Paul)
@@bildillamagasin Crossing fingers. I am also facing the same situation, and as I live in Rwanda (mountains everywhere) I rely heavily on my car to get to all the offroad areas.
@@n.shyakajonathan9363 Then I got to know a bit more about the possibility of a tight MAP filter. I never thought there was a filter there! I see a lot of people find that the filter can crack, but mine looks tight and fine. I try with a cleaner with brake cleaner! Thank you very much for the info! Now the filters must be cleaned and dried! Then it will be fun and see if this helps! Best regards Pål (Paul)
@@bildillamagasin There is a garage called euro4x4parts in France, they also have a website and a youtube channel. I checked out the price for the filter, costs around 40 euros. I think the best is just to change it. I have the same issue as well. And someone told me he had the same issue and on his hiace 1KD 3.0D4D, he is a mechanic. He changed his Suction Control Valve part number of this part on my LC120 is 294000-0380. I am thinking of replacing that as well. I have realised those two (MAP filter and SVC) can make turbo failure. It is a bit confusing situation, however turbo is supposed to live as long as the engine. Wishing you the best and we definitely stay in touch, I will keep you updated on my end. Best Regards.
I think reading the codes will be the key - the engine light shows there is a stored code and the other lights are probably just on because the engine light is on. (Traction control etc shut down if any engine light). You say you have problems reading the codes - what code reader do you use? Do you have techstream? Alternatively did you try shorting the pins on the OBD connector and counting the flashes? Enjoy all your videos and good luck
Hello. Has several OBDII readers. Can't remember which one I tried when it didn't work. But I have BlueDriver, Carly and another cheap reader. I have to try again. If there is just too much going on here at the moment, then everything is not enough. Broke a spring on the e-Golf now too... It's in the garage waiting for new parts. Greeting Pål (Paul)
Hello. It seems that the engine fault light comes on first, then the rest come on afterwards. Have put the car on charge, and will try to get codes read after the battery is fully charged. Greeting Pål (Paul)
I'm still struggling with the same problem! There are so many wrong options that you have to start with the easiest and cheapest options. It could be a wire break, which triggers all the errors, or there could still be a fault in a computer brain. I haven't had the time or the wherewithal to just put the car away at a workshop here in Norway. Here, the hourly rates are so high that it will be far too expensive for me. :(
When I drive the car, the problem suddenly occurs: VSC TRC VSC OFF and I press the diesel and the car does not start. Then I restart the car but nothing appears and it works normally.
Hello. I have used the car daily for work and training for the boys. But I can check the battery too, just in case. Altunator was replaced not too long ago. Greeting Pål (Paul)
OK. I did some searching on forums for “LandCruiser Prado limp mode” and some had reported issues with the throttle position sensor. But agree with other comment that fault code reading is first priority. Good luck. Keep us posted

@@bildillamagasinHi Paul!
Our alternator was changed last year, so we didn't expect this to happen.
All the best! ❤
@@em_saab Oh, that alternator had a very short life then!? 😳
Hej Paul,
I had the same ligths but no less power.
Batteries halved died before.
Fully charge of batteries solved it.
Good luck!

Thanks for the help! I'm going out to put on a ctek charger before I have to go to a basketball game today, so maybe that can help :)

Hi Pal. Are both batteries fully charged? Might be worth checking if car has been standing a while as this can cause electrical gremlins.
