Why is the traction off light on on my Lexus ES300?
Just bought a 1997 lexus es300. Got new tired on it and the traction off light indicator came on as well as the check engine light before the tire change. Mechanix said that when he ran for codes there were none due to maybe the computer not working or there is an electrical connection issue.
Where is the vacuum leak on a Lexus ES 300?
This is usually evident by the check engine light, VSC light and traction control lights all coming on without warning. If that doesn’t fix the problem there may be a vacuum leak elsewhere.

Check Engine flashes and Trac Off steady on. More confusing, the car will not go into Overdrive anymore either. The switch works and dash lights respond as before, it’s just that the trans does not shift. 2000 Lexus ES 300 with only 60,000 miles (was my mom’s car).

In defense to “those” mechanics…tech. in cars has changed a lot and not all local mechanics have updated their current knowledge on the newer, more computerized cars.

Is the TRAC off light on on a Lexus ES 300?
The check engine light and TRAC OFF lights came on without warning on our 2012 RX350. Lexus service told us that the car was safe to drive as long as the check engine light was not blinking. It wasn’t and we drove home over 200 miles without a problem.

What to do when your traction control warning light comes on?
If a fluke in the TCS system triggered the warning light, it should turn stay off when you restart the engine. If it comes back on, it’s likely time to call a mechanic and get a system diagnosis. Until it’s fixed, drive gently and avoid hard acceleration that could result in the wheels slipping.
What causes the traction control to go offline?
The traction control computer in your vehicle is the “brain” that controls the entire system. A defect, corroded contacts or water damage in this computer can result in the entire system going offline, which will turn on the TCS warning light. As the TCS and ABS often share a computer, this may affect your ABS system and turn on that light, too.
