To anyone that might be able to help.

I've got a couple of Error Codes
ABS Error 32 - Front Left wheel speed sensor signal malfunction.
This has caused the ABS to kick in when its not needed, making it hard to pull the car up some times. It does come and go.

AirBag Error 14 - Open in squib circuit.
This is just making the airbag light stay, i've tried the 'wire dance' top reset it but it came back so I assume there is something wrong here.

I've tried calling Lexus Service and also a Lexus 'approved' service place but being an Import they won't touch it(probably because it's better than the local model :-) . The Lexus chap was half useful, he said they've changed the sensor for the ABS but it was a spilt wire that was the fault.
But any way, its not having the work done that I'm worried about I'll probably do it myself. I'm really wondering if anyone else has had either of these problems and how they might have fixed them?
is there somewhere i should look for the split? or Should I pull the sensor out and clean it?

Do I need a new steering wheel to fix the Air Bag?

Along with these the bloody Cruise Control has stopped working, no fault codes stored it just won't turn on. Any help there?

If anyone can help/offer suggestion that'd be awesome. PS. to the QLD people I have the UCF11 plates on my Celsior

Quite often it seems a fault code stops the cruise working .You will need to do the specific reset for the ABS sensor .
With the ignition key turned on depress the brake pedal more than 8 times in 3 seconds , this will clear the diagnostic codes stored ion the ECU .
If they actually replaced the speed sensor then check the connector between the sensor and the ECU , the wire colours are GR-G and P-G .
see how you go and give us all an update .
As to the airbag according to the book it will be either the steering wheel pad [ squib ] , the spiral cable or the center airbag assembly .
Be aware that most of the airbag codes are output and so will clear themselves once the problem is fixed or has gone away , but a code 41 won't go away by itself .
So if disconnecting the battery doesn't clear it then you need to do a code 41 clear .
It sounds like you know how that is done so I would be disconnecting the battery and doing a visual inspection with the steering wheel off .
let us know how it goes .
Air bag assembly's can be had from Japan for very reasonable cost so don't panic !!

Andrew I do get stuff in from Japan and haven't really locked at exhausts and big stuff as I didn't have any container contacts and freight would have been over the top , mufflers are too big to send by air .
However now I do , send me an E-Mail and I'll send you some pics , now and again full cat back systems come up as well and they are cheap !!

I cleared the ABS error but haven't driven the car yet to see if it comes back. I'm also going to pull the wheel off and check to see if the senor or a wire is broken.
I did the wire dance for the AIRBAG and it flashed saying it was clear but then it came back up again. Code 14. Hopefully just a plug has come out a little bit. Might take the wheel off if I have time.
The Cruise doesn't have an error and I'm not sure which fuse is the right one for it.(translated fuse panel would be great if someone has it)
The car wasn't being driven that much and it developed these issues after sitting for a few weeks. It was run for 5 mins but not driven.
Hopefully all easy fixes.
Cheers.
