I have a 1997 ES 300 Lexus and my belt that controls the power steering when out, what is the name of that belt (and I thought I would just replace the other one as well, as they have 2) and the bigger belt so I can get pricing? If I take it to a mechanic what is a reasonable price for the labor and parts together and separately? Thank you kindly for whoever answers

Yes
To turn off the VGRS (Variable Gear Ratio Steering) light on a Lexus, first ensure that the vehicle's power is on, but the engine is off. Check for any issues with the steering system or related sensors, as the light indicates a problem. If no issues are found, you can try disconnecting and reconnecting the vehicle's battery to reset the system. If the light remains on, it's advisable to consult a professional mechanic or visit a Lexus dealership for further diagnosis.
