Why are my TRAC OFF, VSC TRAC and check engine lights still on?

Asked by dlynn63 Apr 22, 2014 at 02:13 PM about the 2001 Toyota 4Runner SR5

Question type: Maintenance & Repair

I have 2001 4Runner. the TRAC OFF & VSC TRAC lights have been on for a year. dealer
has turned them off about 4 times and they still come on. I have replaced gas cap, no
luck. Last week i replaced the Evap Cannistor, lights were off about 4 days and now are
back on again. What could it be?

check your brakes and rotors, make sure they are not thin replace when necessary. also do a complete flush of your brake fluid , air and moisture in the system can trigger this. this fixed my problem . Was told by dealership it was my brake booster which could cost over 2T dollars , asked a mechanic and took to Autozone and Oreilly can not duplicate the dealership claim of a brake booster code

I have a 2002, my truck did the same thing CHECK ENGINE, VSC TRAC and TRAC OFF LIGHTS all came on after start up, everything seemed to be working fine, i hooked computer diagnostics analyzer up to vehicle and the code it gave me was to do with the catalyst converters, changed them and solved problem. That may not be everybody's problem. I would suggest Auto parts store, most will hook up diagnostic computer to vehicle - no charge.
