Yeah, pretty much what I thought it to be. Typically if your traction is disabled, it's due to a bad wheel speed/abs sensor. The previous owner probably thought to be slick and pulled the bulbs out before he sold it lol.

So if traction control is down because of a bad speed sensor will that mean the abs won't work either ???

Having looked up those codes looks like two dodgy sensors and with that the ecu goes into safe mode and disables vsc and abs will have to pull cods on mine and see which has gone ...... Will any decent code reader pull these ????? Or does it have to be a Lexus one
