Disable traction control (Solved !)

2007 Lexus es350: I live up a steep hill and when it snows hard I have no power to get up (maddening!). Trac Control cuts in and stalls the engine at the worst possible time and I just get stuck watching cars pass me. The 2007 Lexus ES350 has no disable button; however I think the 2008 and up may have it. This procedure (called the pedal dance) worked for me. Follow it closely and it will work. I tested it today and my Lexus shot up that snowy slippery hill like a rocket. Note: There is no permanent fix available, I.E., TRAC will always re-enable itself after the next engine restart. Use the procedure whenever there is heavy snow.

Start car and complete the procedure within 30 seconds

Cycle 1:
- Engage parking brake
- Push brake pedal and release TWICE
- Release parking brake

Cycle 2:
- Push brake pedal and hold
- Engage parking brake and release TWICE
- Release brake pedal

Cycle 3:
- Engage parking brake
- Push brake pedal and release TWICE
- Release parking brake

Important:
. Success: Yellow “Trac Control” icon will display on the dash.
. Trac control will enabled itself back on after the next engine restart :-(

Enjoy
