SOURCE: 2003 ES 300 VSC TRAC OFF & CHECK ENGNE LIGHT ALL

I have a 1999 ES 300 with the same problem. I took it to an independent repair center, (Big O Tires). They ran the codes and it told them it was one of three oxygen sensors in the car. There are two sensors for the engine, (one on either side of the V6 engine), and one for the catalytic converter. The bad part is this sensor is located AFTER the cat. converter, which means it could be the converter, (about $1500.00), or the sensor, (about $250.00). After checking all sensors, it was determined it was PROBABLY the sensor after the converter. I had the sensor replaced and so far the lights have not come back on. Seeing that your car is a 2003 model, I really don't think it could be the converter. If you have been dealing with a reputable repair center, go there. Otherwise go to the dealer and see what they say. If they recommend the converter, push for the sensor. That way you are only out $250.00! Good Luck!!!

SOURCE: trac off and check engine light for lexus es 300

A week ago, on my Lexus ES 300 (2001), "Check Engine" and "Trac Off" lights came on. This coincided with me filling the gas tank to the brim to round the dollar to be paid. I cleaned the gas tank cap and the tank opening. However, both lights persisted. On the same day, when I turned on the car again, there was a hesitance, a stuttering to come on. Both "Check Engine" and "Trac Off" lights were still on.

The next day, the car wouldn't come on at all. It sounded as the battery was dead. I couldn't even jump start the car. So, I got a new battery from Costco ($59) and put it in. It took 15-20 seconds of cranking to get the car started. Once it was started, the engine sounded fine and the RPM normal. The "Check Engine" light was off. However, the "Trac Off" was still on. I cleaned the gas tank cap one more time.

The next morning, when I turned the car on, there was no problems. It came on instantly as it used to be, didn't have any warning lights, and drove smoothly.

SOURCE: TRAC OFF, VSC, and check engine lights are on in my 2004 Lexus ES

Often caused by a loose gas cap or fouled or failed air fuel O2 sensor. Check your gas cap is fully ratcheted, Drive a day or two. If lights don't clear you will need a code reader attached to the car to diagnose.

The Check Engine light, Trac OFF and Vsc lights are on. I cleaned the MAF sensor on the air intake. but it didn't help. What should I do?

Since your "check engine" is ON, have some fault codes stored in the PCM (Powertrain Control Module / computer); to know exactly about what codes are the, will need scanned the PCM wit OBD II scaner reader tool; some autozone or autoshop with this tool make this for free. The check engine light can come on for 1 of about 200 different reasons, most times it's something simple such as a evap leak or loose gas cap.

As a factory default any time the check engine light comes on the TRAC and VSC systems are disabled as a default.

Soft reset could be disconnected the battery few minutes (sometimes work), but if the codes turn on again, is confirm, have fault codes stored and need to know what is to solve it.

Try this ans send us news about this code numbers founded.

Getting message CHECK VSC with engine warning and traction lights on permanently.

Whenever the check engine light comes on it also turns on the trac and the vsc, if figures the trac and vsc can not operate properly if the engine is not running correctly, when check eng light turns off the rest will also, the first thing to do is have the computer scanned, there will be stored codes, these codes will tell you where the problem is, many auto part stores will scan it and give you the codes, if you get the codes i could help you further good luck.

My lexus just quit working, it will crank but die when you put it in gear, the check engine light came on with a code of VSC any ideas. Thanks.

Saw this on a Lexus user club site ---
  • Vehicle Skid Control (VSC) senses the onset of loss of lateral traction and helps the driver stay on track. Input from four wheel-speed sensors, a yaw-rate (directional) sensor, a deceleration sensor, and a steering-wheel-angle sensor is communicated to the VSC computer. The system has the ability to reduce power and to control the brake actuator. Working with both ABS and TRAC, the VSC system helps the driver to compensate for loss of lateral traction, which can cause skids and loss of vehicle control. Lexus Vehicle Skid Control (VSC) is an electronic system designed to help the driver maintain vehicle control under adverse conditions. It is not a substitute for safe driving practices. Factors including speed, road conditions and driver steering input can all affect whether VSC will be effective in preventing a loss of control.
However, it appears Lexus owners who have reported this sort of problem did not have to do anything to fix except - things like .. uncap gas cap and put it back, remove battery leads for about 10 minutes and put back, tighten air filter hose ...all wierd.

Have you checked your owner's manual ?
