www.toyota-4runner.org/.../4164-check-engine-light-vsc-trac-trac-off-li... Jun 6, 2004 - I just bought it, and a few days later the check engine light, VSC TRAC, and TRAC OFF lights all came on. I took it to a dealership and was told ...
There is a problem with the performance of the engine, and you should have the engine computer checked for trouble codes.
Anytime the check engine light is on, the vsc is on too because the vsc uses the engine to control the car.
That code relates to a crankshaft position sensor signal. It you have a check engine light come it disables the VSC and Trac system. Until you get that sensor fixed the VSC and the TRAC system will be inop. So whenever you have a check engine light come on that is what you will see. Even though you cancel the check engine light the fault still exists and the VSC/ TRAC light will come back on. That is a sure way to tell that something is wrong.
Hi, have you scanned the vehicle to see why your check engine light is on? IF no, you need to. Toyota/Lexus computer system illumniates both engine light and VSC lights whenver a fault occurs in either unit. VSC or stability control is like trac-control or ABS braking system. Get car scanned and make sure all computers are scanned for additional codes, repair them first reset lights and test drive. ON a side note, fixing check engine light will usually take VSC light away also, however sometimes the VSC system will glitch out and a Steering Angle relearn is necessary, it takes about 3mins to perform and a good quality scan tool with 2004 current software. Good Luck.
vsc shuts down any time check engine light comes on. repair engine light problem, reset computer monitoring system and vsc light will go off. must scan computer to pull codes for check engine light and go from there.
My 2000 Lexus GS 400 just had the VSC/VSC off light and the check engine light come on. I would have to push the accelarator peddle all the way down to get it to go. Took it to the Toyota dealer and the code pulled up as the Throttle Position Sensor was out. Purchased one and having it put in. Will update if this fixes the problem.
As compgeek09 stated, yes the DTC (diagnostic trouble code) should be found out first. And yes, AutoZone or Advance Auto Parts should be able to retrieve the code for you. Then you should be able to tell how severe the problem is.
Yes, you should still be able to drive the vehicle. When the check engine light starts flashing is when you should stop driving the vehicle. Also, if your city/state require smog emissions, the vehicle will probably fail the test. Then you'll be required to repair the problem.
Lastly, Vehicle Stability Control. That light is probably related to the check engine light since it sounds like they both came on at the same time. The VSC controls engine power. Thus, if there is a problem with the engine (check engine light), the VSC can't do it's job.
Once the check engine light problem is repaired, the VSC light should go off as well.
