If the check engine light is flashing then you have a misfire in the engine. Only worry about the CE light. On toyota, the TRAC off light and VSC light will both come on anytime the CE light is on. So once you fix the reason the CE light is on, the other two will go out. Now, do you know what code was in the ecm. The CE light is flashing so you have a misfire. If you have the ecm scanned it will tell you which cylinder is missing.

It sounds to me that the transmission is worn out and is in need of a rebuild or replacement. Lube Guard may help some transmissions, but usually will not work. The check engine light can blink when the transmission codes are thrown. I agree with him that far.

I'm surprised that the transmission is still going after 8 years.

VSC TRAC AND TRAC OFF LIGHT AND CHECK ENGINE LIGHT ON ALL CAME TOGETHER on my 06 Toyota 4 Runner.

Hello, the check engine light will also cause the other lights to turn on, those will usually go off when the cause for the check engine light is fixed or the check engine light is cleared by disconnecting the battery. The P705 is a transmission fault code, it refers to a problem with the transmission range sensor, this is part of the neutral start switch located on the side of the transmission where the shift selector attaches, it has a large connector with wires on it, these connectors can corrode so remove it can check and clean as needed or if nothing like that can be found replace the neutral start switch.

Check enguine light vsctrac light and vsc off light on and transmission shifts funny

Hello, the vsc/trac lights will turn on whenever the check engine light turns on first, this is a fail safe function,vsc and trac are disabled as soon as the check engine light turns on so the check light needs to be diagnosed first, you will need to have the onboard computer scanned for diagnostic codes for the engine control system, these are usually a letter fllowed by some numbers, for example a P0301 code would be an engine misfire on the #1 cylinder. If there is an Autozone store or other autoparts vhain store like advance auto, pep boys etc give them a call and take the truck there, they usually help you get the trouble code numbers at no charge, after you have this information post a follow up with the results and I can help you with a solution.

Toyota 2001, 4-runner, 158k...the check engine,VSC/TRAC, and TRAC OFF warning lights came on at the same time and have stayed on...what could be the problem?

VSC lights always go on during a "Check engine" period so just get the engine fault code and DIY or go to a TRUSTED mechanic (or someone you trust goes to).It is likely an emissions problem.

Toyota 2001 4 runner vsc lights on and trac off.also check engine light on.what is the problem?

Those lights always come on whenever the check engine light is on.It could be from the gas cap not being tight enough or an air hose in the engine compartment coming loose. I recommend bringing your vehicle to someone that can read the codes and reset the lights for you. The codes will narrow down what the problem really is.
