Default Did pedal dance, turned everything off, does not turn back on after restarting car???

So.... Long ago I remember doing the pedal dance on my IS350. I tried it today on the RCF and successfully had the lights indicating the traction and stability control systems were off. In the is350 everything would go back to normal when the car was restarted. When restarting the F all the safety lights were still on. I tried doing the panel dance again and pushing the traction control buttons but everything it is still off.

Any ideas???

I may disconnect the negative power from the battery and see what happens if nobody has a solution.

What is "the pedal dance"? Or what is the sequence?

OP, when you first shut the car off did you actually get out of the car (or at least open the door) after shutting it off?

I've found that with some toyota products the systems don't completely "reset" until you open the door after shutdown.

Pedal dance in the RCF expects you to drive the car for a minimum of 5 minutes before the timeout is reached. If you just turn the ignition off right away, the timer can pause and come back even after 3 days of being off.

Good to know! The first time I did turn off the car and get out and nothing happened. Then about 20 mins later I turned off the car and locked the doors. Came back in 30 mins and everything was fine.
