Default Traction Control and VSC Lights

Does anyone else have issues with these coming on? Mine come on almost everytime I make a sharp left hand turn. You can not just shut them off either. You have to physically shut the vehicle off and then turn it back on. I really think there sensors are way to sensitive for it.

YES, I had the same problem...took it to the dealer and they had to replace a left rear wheel sensor. When the lights are on apparently you don't have any ABS function at all. It got really annoying but at least it got taken care of.

ahhh, so the wheel sensors are what handle that? That doesnt make any sense though. Since I dont have wheel sensors in mine at all.

hmm, traction control kicks in when i burn out or make a crazy turn, the light does come on but mine turns off immediately once the car is in stable condition... so didnt really have that problem.

ABS function turns off if this light is on??

I think he meant the wheel speed sensors for the ABS system. I assume you mean you do not have TPMS sensors? Different sensors. Hope that makes more sense?

For anybody interested here is a link to a 130 page Toyota/ Lexus pdf that gives a very good description of the brake system.
