    Hi, I am out of town and this has happened. Right before, there was a tire sensor warning. Air is fine after numerous checks. My question: is this 'trac off' safe to drive on until I get home?

    2016 Toyota Corolla had the track light and the engine light on. and I had to try several times to be able to start the engine after having poured gas at the gas station. It turns out that when I checked it was the canister purge valve hose that cracked, it was broken. I changed the hose and the lights went out. and now the engine starts at once. Incredibly, with less than two dollars I solved the problem myself.

      ​​@@Dimitrithefoodiewell I'll tell you how I'm here, I'm having codes from the canister, and traction control and vsc light on. The mechanic recommended replacing the entire assembly, just learning a few minutes ago that it could be a cracked hose so I'll be checking it all out tomorrow. Hoping to find some bad hoses.

    Thank you!! Mystery solved in my case. The check engine and trac off light came off after a few days of my wife driving my 13 Sienna. Wasn't sure why when I went to drive it myself. Later in the day I filled it up with gas and tightened the gas cap thoroughly, as i always do. Within 20 minutes of driving after getting gas, the lights went off. My wife had put gas in a week earlier.

    Thanks for your knowledge.
    My 2001 4Runner has both VSC lights staying on, but with no engine check light too.
    They came on when pulling a trailer once, and lights went off a few starts later.
    Next time I pulled the trailer, it came on again with engine under a load?
    However, this time the VSC lights have stayed on.
    To fix the problem I replaced the gas cap, but also noticed that when filling gas tank, sometimes pump handle would shut off before tank was half full.
    Another related issue is an occasional PO330 check engine light happens under a load, without a trailer, but, for example climbing an incline grade.
    I did a bypass, a few years ago, on bank 1 sensor, and clear the check light each time it appears.
    It hasn't appeared for a year now.
    An odd PO420 code came and went on its own, but has not returned after it briefly appeared 4/23/24 (4 months ago).
    Can one of these codes, or other issues mentioned, and the VSC lights staying on be related?
    Thanks for any help.

    I think mine is a sensor, but if I try to give it gas more than just allowing it to naturally accelerate, it will flash the check engine light, and the track light will come on however, the last time that happened to me my car was bogging, so I pulled over I stopped the car. I turned it off. I pulled the key out and then I put it back in. Turn the car back on and it was fine.
    This morning it happened and the track light is still on the check engine light has been on for a while now because there’s two sensors that I need and that’s like $300 for the both of them and I just don’t have it
    But the light did not go out so that is concerning because it is running rough

    Here is a head scratcher.
    2015 Toyota Rav4, 90k miles, oil change last week, battery is 1 yr old, just filled the gas tank.
    No problem starting the vehicle to start the day. Get to my destination and the vehicle is still running. I go to leave and the check engine light and Trac Off light comes on. I stop and turn off the car. I go to restart it, nothing. No lights, no power of any kind.
    Call a relative to come jump. The cables are on my battery and creates a spark when touched together. Hook them to his truck. Still nothing. Completely dead.
    I think that would rule out the battery, alternator, and starter.
    Got some fuses and changes out all of the engine related ones.
    I'm at a loss for why there would be total loss of power, even when hooked up to an additional battery.

    • @HVAC_Mechanic
      @HVAC_Mechanic  Месяц назад

      If lights are on the dashboard, there is likely power. Since all the fuses are good, I would test if the battery is good and check the starter relay. If you have a scan tool, it is best to scan for any codes.
