fernandolpa Posted February 22, 2007 Posted February 22, 2007 Maybe I am the only crazy guy that take out the road the RX. It is incredible what the car can do and from where it climbs, even with road tyres. But I am facing a problem, the traction control stops suddenly the car when the tyres stars to spin, and this is very unconvenient when driving ooutside the road. Any way to disconeect the system just for out road driving?

You will have CEL, VSC, TC failure indications for the next few drive cycles. VSC & TC are disabled any time there is CEL indication. BUT. I would NEVER advise taking an RX off-road, PERIOD.

I use to take my 76 Landcruiser wheelin all the time made the annual trip to Moab but had to sell it :cries: between repairs and gas wasn't economical to use it as my daily travel vehicle. I travel allot of back roads fly fishing, camping and skiing you should keep us posted on your off road trips Id luv to know how the rx300 handled
Suburbazine Posted February 25, 2007 Posted February 25, 2007 You don't have a VSC disable button? My 330 has it by my right shin under the dash.

I can well see, understand, why a TC, Traction Control, disable capability would or could be desireable. But I fail, completely, to understand why a VSC disable capability is desirerable outside of a REAL sports car at track time.
