Member pleading for help, GS450h Trac off
 

Hello,
I would appreciate any help of letting me know how to turn of the already too aggressive traction on my beloved Lexus 2007 GS450h. I love the car, but the traction control is driving me of the roof! Even when i use the trac off button it just goes back on when it detects spin. I don't mind any method possible to do it, even if extreme. I tried searching, dealer, and came up with null. I tried the old method for the older GS430's but no luck. Is there anyway?

All the best,
Jaff

This shuold work but you have to repeat the procedure everytime you start the car

I tried that method long time ago, it didn't work on my '07

I thought you can just press and hold the Trac Off button for 10 seconds to disable both VSC and TC fuctions. Have you tried it?

Ya tried that too, It just goes back on when it detects spin :(

you have 2007, if you press and HOLD for long enough it should completely disable the system and won't kick back in

it's a 07 hybrid, i held for a while, but still restrictive, and kicks back.

make sure you are in park when you do the push and hold. works on my gs350.

I did that, still kick back in. Is there a way of by-passing this. Anyone?

Maybe your not doing it right, Henry knows his stuff!!

Come on guys.... I know how to push and hold a button! Tried on two other hybrids and same results.

could be your car. your not the first person from over seas whos GS was set up different (ie computer wise)

The other 2 GS450h hybrids are both stock US specks, and both have the same issue.

Anyone??..

i don't think theres a way to turn it off completely. i held mine and tried it in park but the manual says it automatically comes back on at 30 mph.
