Hi,my98 GS300 having traction control problem.when I drove on highway(dry), almost every slight right
turns activated the TRACTION CONTROL light, and came with the "beep,beep,beep,beep"sounds consistantly. sometimes slight left turn caused the same problem. When I turned the wheel back to straight, the light and sounds were off. It's very annoyed. By the way,I think my car need a aligment, because its steeling wheel is little bit off the straight line. but that should not cause the traction problem. Dose anyone has the same experience? Any suggestions or help will be appreciated.
Hi, I know this is an old post but i had the exact same problem for over a year! the ABS, VSC OFF, & BRAKE warning lights would come on instantly with a loud constant BEEP sound. The lexus and toyota dealerships both said they had never heard of this issue and charged me a few hundred bucks to let me know they couldnt help me.
Believe it or not, the constant BEEP and the purge of the master cylinder which sounds like a choking terradactyl was caused by my front ball joints being completely worn out. once i replaced the ball joints, the annoying problem i had considered selling my car for was gone for good!!! :D
the sensors think your car is out of balance or out of traction due to the misalignment of the ball joints. i'm by no means a mechanic, but this is how i fixed this horrible problem. it's been over a year and my 99 gs400 runs like a champ with 132K miles :) Good luck!
