trac light fix
Update - sorry the next day the light is back on. Drivers rear wheel has excessive brake friction on the caliper and may be causing the problem - I may investigate someday........
Just wanted to post this fix hoping it will help anyone else.
'93 LS400
~240,000km
had the brake fluid flushed
soon after the flush was performed the trac light - the one that flashes when it's helping you gain traction (not the TRAC OFF) light, started coming on after a minute or so into a drive. The traction control would function until this light came on, then it wouldn't function. Sorry - I can't remember the code # (might have been 43) but I remember it was referring to a break in the trac system "link" or so I understood it
This went on for about 20,000 km
Anyway my friend suggested there was likely air in the lines. So we did a bleed both at the actuator and each wheel. A bit of air came out.
Went for a drive used brakes frequently, light came on. Stopped & restarted engine. Light has been off since.
