Trak/vsc call out to fuse AM2 15 amp. This fuse is number 7 in the owners manual fuse box diagram on page 222 and is called out there as starter, srs airbag, Fuel injection etc. This fuse box is located in the engine compartment next to the battery. If it isn't blown you could simply remove and check every fuse in the car, there aren't that many between the under dash box and the eng compartment box, and are easily visually verified. Good luck

Is it the trac off light?? If so press the track button and turn it back on. (remember the only stupid question is the one not asked). Beyond that I have no clue.

Did you try to unhook the freshly installed tach and see if the problem goes away? It is always wise to undo the last change and see if that fixes the problem.

God I hate when queertrons get in something electrical. It is likely something really simple, knocked loose, relay burned, fuse burned, etc. Hope you find it

That is a very good question? Beyond my capabilities without just swapping them with new ones:/ I would have to say a dealer trip might be in order If you can not find anything amiss.

If you're confused about the wiring, go to https://www.scionlife.com/forums/viewtopic.php?t=138456 and download the xB diagram. Then find the Traction Control section and veryfy that you correctly hooked up all your wires.
