Is-300 trac off problem help!!!!
Hello,
Drove my IS-300 today I made a hard left turn (trying to beat the yellow light). Latter I noticed that my check-engine light was on and the TRAC OFF ICON on my dashboard keeps flashing every 3 seconds. After I parked my IS300, turned off the car and turned in back on and still the same problem shows. "Solid check-engine light and my TRAC OFF keeps Flashing every 3 sec". Anybody has encountered this problem before?. Please feel free to post here.
FYI:
- My vehicle is a 2002 Lexus is300 approx: 85,200miles. 5sp. mods, recently added fully adjustable coilovers.

You should go get the check engine light checked... the problem i have is my traction control light blinks every 3 sec, e-brake light stays on and abs light comes on... ran the code with the snap-on scanner and it said my abs unit went out... =\

Could be a few things, get the error checked out and post up the code here. My guess would be an abs sensor but you will need the error code to be sure before you start replacing things.

^^Reseted my ecu by removing the battery negative. Left it out for about 3 mins, problem fixed "No check engine and TRAC OFF". Could this be just a hecKUP on the 02 sensors. What could cause this problem?

If it's an evap leak or something related, many people would say it's probably the gas cap, but I would recommend checking 2 specific hoses that like to be tricky:
http://is.sewellparts.com/oem-catalo...S300-2003.html
2381846110 FUEL VAPOR FEED PIPE
and
http://is.sewellparts.com/oem-catalo...S300-2003.html
1226246090 VENTILATION HOSE NO.2
Very easy DIY if you know what you're looking for. I had the same problem, simple fix. $37.77 from Sewell Lexus (with club lexus discount) shipped. A bit pricey for two little parts, but well worth the factory replacements.
I know I keep posting on older threads since I haven't been a member for very long, but I hope I'm helping somebody still looking back for answers.
