Why is the VSC light check engine light and TRAC OFF light on in my Toyota 2005 highlander? We have not pushed the TRAC OFF button. The lights stay on while driving. It has 36,000 miles on it.

    I need the diagnostic Code

  • kirtec auto Mar 30, 2015

    the vsc light is vehicle stability control which uses the abs wheel speed sensors and other systems for the traction control.A system fault that affects the engines ability to react,(yours has electronic throttle control)will put the vehicle in "limp mode" you need to scan the vehicle to see which system is creating the fault for the check engine light .

My engine light and trak off lights came on. I took my truck (2012 Highlander) to dealer and turns out the gas cap was loose. The dealer just tightened it and there have been zero issues with the lights.
