Near the end of august four warning lights came on at the same time in my 2003 4runner. They were the vsc trac, vsc off, abs and brake. I scheduled an appointment with the local toyota authorized repair shop to determine and fix the problem. They looked at the vehicle and discovered significant rust and corrosion on the frame, rear axle and attached parts. I have asked for an estimate to repair, and they are unable…

22dec12 49f entered corner at 50mph, roads slightly wet. 4runner decided the car was slipping and the panic beeps went off and the car applied brakes. Unfortunately the computer straightened the car out and pointed it off the road. It took all my strength to turn the car back into the corner and finally the computer stopped the panic. After this i was unable to turn off the traction control via the enable/disable…

While driving, the cel (check engine light) came on and the vsc trac and vsc off lights came on as well. Apparently toyota disables vsc when the cel is triggered. In my case, the 2 times it has occurred has been due to emissions related failures (1st time the cat failed, 2nd time one of the o2 sensors failed). In the 1st case, i immediately took the vehicle to the dealership as i was approaching the end of the…

2006 toyota 4runner check engine light disables traction control and vehicle stability control when on. For instance the car needed a gas cap. So the check engine light came on as well as the traction control and vsc light. Icy conditions and having something such as this fail because of poor wiring could be very dangerous. *tr

Traction Control System
2010 toyota 4runner, in this case a [redacted]. Panic braking at 55mph+ is dangerous. If you suddenly remove your foot from the gas pedal and suddenly apply full braking pressure to the brake pedal, the car lurches downward into a nose dive so violently that in one case i would swear the rear tires lost contact with the road. The two times i have encountered this i was on dry pavement and it is scary, i can't…
