    Had it for years - replace tons of O2 sensors - ended up replacing the thermostat - fixed!

    How to disable trac and VSC in highlander hybrid 2006 model

    Disabling the light doesn't fix the problem, you should have this diagnosed by connecting a diagnostic code reader that can communicate with the traction control system, then go from there.

    Check engine light and vsc trac off lights stay on. Cannot turn svc off by pressing button on Dash

    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.

    The abs/vsc/trac and check engine lights stay on. could this be a problem associated with emission control?

    Its possible.

    Whenever the check engine light comes on the VSC and Traction control will disable because they need the engine at 100% in order to function correctly. Since the ABS light is on I would have to wonder if it isn't an abs problem. Since the VSC and Traction control use the ABS sensors/system to function.

    Or there is a problem with both the engine and the ABS.

    The only way to know for sure is to have the PCM scanned and the ABS module to see what is goind on.
