Thanks for your quick reply. I will use these notes when I visit my "second opinion" mechanic. Nothing has been done to the car since the last oil checkup when a new battery was installed, but who knows what could have been disturbed when that was changed. I do value my traction control especially in all the bad PA weather.

My traction control light and check engine lights were on. The dealer diagnosed code PO446. I need a charcoal canister. What does that have to do with the traction control? Estimated price is $500. The 2001 ES300 has been great and I now have 105,000 miles. Has anyone had this problem?
