Traction control system failure warning
31R054
These lights warn that there is a problem somewhere in the
vehicle skid control system, traction control system or brake
assist system.
The lights will come on when the ignition key is turned to “ON”,
and will go off after a few seconds.
If the “VSC” warning light and “TRAC OFF” indicator/warning
light come on, the vehicle skid control system, traction control
system and brake assist system do not work. However, as
conventional braking operates when applied, there is no
problem to continue your driving.
If any of the following conditions occurs, this indicates a
malfunction somewhere in the parts monitored by the warning
light system. Contact your Lexus dealer as soon as possible
to service the vehicle:
The “VSC” warning light and “TRAC OFF” indicator/warning
light do not come on after the ignition is turned to on.
The “VSC” warning light and “TRAC OFF” indicator/warning
light remain on after the ignition is turned to on.
The “VSC” warning light and “TRAC OFF” indicator/warning
light come on while driving without pushing “TRAC OFF”
switch.
CAUTION
Under certain slippery road conditions, full traction of
the vehicle and power to the front wheels cannot be
maintained, even though the traction control system is
in operation. Do not drive the vehicle under any speed
or maneuvering conditions which will cause the vehicle
to lose traction. In situations where the road surface is
covered with ice or snow, your vehicle should be fitted
with snow tires or tire chains. Always drive at an
appropriate and cautious pace.
