Default Trac off button not working???

Can anybody out there help me? All of a sudden i noticed my trac off button stopped working on my 03 lexus is300. Usually everytime i would turn it off cuz it gets annoying cuz it won't allow me to take off fast. Is there a fuse or what could have happened? I appreciate any feedback. Thanks.

Well my problem isn't that the trac off light is flashing. Actually what i noticed now is that my traction control still works but it seems like the trac off light on the dash is burnt out. Does anyone know how to fix that problem? Oh and what causes the trac off light to flash constantly is a bad oxygen sensor. Doesn't cost too much to replace.

Davy...its your bulb. Its easy to replace, but a PITA. Depending on which o2 sensor it is, it could be easy or hard/cheap or expensive. Not eveyrone costs the same



Dzadz...Your o2 sensor, misfiring on a Cylinder or your catatylitic converter is bad. Is the reasoning why your trac is flashing and your CEL should be on as well. Is that happening?
