Sometimes it will be written in ownership books in your glove compartment, if not any lexus dealership should be able to give it to you, some dealerships may want you to come in a prove you own the car.

SOURCE: OBD code P0746. Where is the Pressure Control

P0746 Pressure Control Solenoid Performance or Stuck Off
A transmission solenoid is an electro-hydraulic valve that controls fluid flow into and throughout an automatic transmission. Solenoids can be normally open or normally closed. They operate via a voltage or current supplied via the transmission computer or controller. Transmission solenoids are usually installed in a Transmission Valve body, Transmission Control Unit, Transmission Control Module or inside the Transmission and it helps regulate the pressure from the trans fluid pump.


P0446 Evaporative Emmission Control System Vent Control Circuit Malfunction

What does that mean?
Evap vent valve has only one purpose. It closes in order to seal the vent so the EVAP system can pressurize and ensure there are no leaks. Evap vent valve is usually supplied Batt. voltage with key on. The ECM's driver controls the ground, and when grounded, activates the valve (closing it). If the ECM detects a short to ground, and open,or a short to battery voltage on the control circuit, P0446 will set. Code also may refer to ECM detecting that EVAP system is unable to achieve or maintain vacuum during test.

Symptoms
There will be no obvious symptoms to driver, other than MIL illumination.

Causes
A code P0446 could mean one or more of the following has happened:
* Faulty vent valve
* Open, short or excessive resistance on Vent valve control circuit
* Blockage of vent valve
* Bad PCM

Possible Solutions
With a P0446 OBD-II trouble code, here are some things to try:
* Replace Vent valve
* Repair open, short, or resistance problem in control circuit
* Repair open, or short, or resistance problem in power circuit
* Replace PCM


Hope this help (remember rated this post).

P0402 1997 Toyota Camry 4 cyclinder 4 door, encountered P0402 has 3 months already. The car is drivable. What is the solution? Could replacement of a vsv value resolve this issue? Which part can I buy

Hi,
That is the code for Exhaust Gas Recirculation Flow (EGR) Excessive Detected

Read more at: http://www.obd-codes.com/p0402
Copyright OBD-Codes.com

Go to the site and review what causes and can be checked to fix it.

I'd start w/cleaning the EGR valve - free fix - and then consider replacing the part. I'd look for USED parts @ a local Salvage/Wrecking yard vs. buying new, due the cost and the fact that this is an older car.

GL,
