So I noticed that when I'm at freeway speeds and I take some of the corners around 60(not even sharp corners) I notice my traction control light go off with out any tire slippage. These corners are the recommended 45mph and I take them just around 60 so I shouldn't even have an issue cornering. anyways I did a small search but everything I found was people lowering their car and the light remains on. so I might have a similar issue? anyone have the same thing happen to them? is it something I should be worried about?

You might need an alignment.

I already got one. But how would that cause the light to go off?

You got new tire? Slippery lose traction.

nope they are about a year old. I did lower my car about another half inch though

Toyota are ****ty when it comes to axle vibration and issues related with that, let me tell you this.

I had a 2015 Tacoma 4X4 lifted 2 inches in the back and 3 in the front and it vibrated like hell. My buddies with lifted Fords, Chevys, Nissan, etc. didn't have any vibrations. After reading a little, turned out to be a known driveshaft issue. They vibrated even with no lift. I tried to restore the factory shafts ''angle'' by adding some spacers but it never solved the issue.

I then bought an AWD Lexus and wanted to lower it but I won't take any chance this time; too many people are experiencing vibrations. A 50k car shouldn't vibrate. I know you guys will tell me all lowered AWD cars vibrate a little, but I know by fact that Toyota are the worst.

That being said not trying to look like an expert, I think your issue is mostly related to the fact that you lowered the car and the axles are going nuts.

Toyota should really look into this.

The people with the light remaining on is due to the wheels they use on AWD cars not TCS slipping. That is mainly related to rolling diameter of the wheels not matching.

I have lowered AWD 250 and I would get that happening sometimes due to the AWD not being able to keep up with a turn and it will come on slightly. If you ever tried to make a sharp turn in your driveway, you will notice the wheels kinda slip and skid if it was a welded/locked diff.

I wouldnt worry about it too much but what I would worry about is if it shuts down the car on you during those turns. Thats where it may be a larger issue

thanks for the input!. ya it rarely happens so that's a good thing

Yep, turns like a truck on 4X4 sometimes, it's annoying lol.

I wonder if Subaru and other AWD cars are also doing that.
