Default 1997 SC300 - TRAC OFF light blinking & Malfunction indicator lamp is lit

After driving thru some heavy snow, the TRAC OFF light started blinking & the Malfunction Indicator Lamp stays lit. I disconnected the battery to clear the memory then the problem was solved, so I thought. After about a week, it started doing this again.

Is there anything I can do before I take it to the shop and fork over my arm and leg?

Scanner revealed that I needed to change the emmission sensor part. It cost me $400 but it's resolved.
