2001 Toyota Sequoia VSC and TRAC OFF lights are on

The VSC and TRAC OFF lights get on and off also once a while the ABS system activates without reason for a few secons while driving and get back to normal. Every timr this happens the VSC and TRAC OFF light stay on until I turn off the truck. Next time I start the truck lights are off. I have a 2001 sequoia with TRAC OFF, VSC OFF lights on. This started after changing the steering column. How could I fix it? On another note, this car parking brake has NEVER hold and that caused the shifting gear to break prompting me to have to change the whole column. Any Advise? JC

    it;s 7/12/13 and my 01 sequoia is 49,985 miles, I am the only owner and extreme care with it, just short of of 50 thoothands miles and all kind of sensors are coming on. The air bag sensor came on but i called toyota and they told me to disconnect the negative lead battery connection and may that woul correct theproblem it does but after a few miles it comes on again,,, is that a real problem???. Now I am getting the track off and vcs light on plus having the sequoia veer to the right when this whappens, If you are not extremely responsive , reallly you could have an accident. Any one having this problem? All the operating manual says it the break system will continue workinh properly call the dealer. Let me hear you experience on this issue. thank folks, NLR

I did research on line and all indicates that is caused by the YAW RATE SENSOR. It nedds to be replace and adjust. I have the same problem but havent find the time to get to it. When I do I will post it. If you do it before I do please email me with the result at [email protected]
Good luck

The parking brakes are notorious for not holding. Even with adjustment, they won't operate for long. I was going to change the pads, but the limited access makes it a difficult job. I always canter the wheels into the curb. as not to bear the vehicle weight on the PARK position of the trans. as a "quick" fix.

Where is located ABS sensor?

the abs sensors( 4 of them ) are located at each wheel near the brake rotor or in the live axle housing close to the wheel
the trac control uses the same sensors and it only takes one faulty unit to put the lights on
the fault can be from a broken wire, wire fallen out of holder

I have a 2001 Sequoia replaced connectors to battery. Now E brake light ABS light Trac Off and VSC Trac light are on. I disconnected ground and let it sit. Had code ran and it said open closed circuit abs?...

More than likley its your VSC computer (VSC Trac, VSC Off, E brake and ABS brake lights all lit). This problem has been sited on other Sequoias that had the TSB brake caliper/rotor upgrade (recall) and that more than likely the VSC software or computer was not updated to meet the demands of the newly installed brake upgrade.

My VSC TRAC, TRAC OFF & brake light is on in board

I have a 2004 sequoia with the same problem. VSC TRAC, TRAC OFF & brake light comes on at the same time. Sometimes just the brake light and other times all three. Sometimes no lights. Does anyone have a fix?

Trac off, VSC trac and ABS signal went on while I was driving and won't turn off

Chances are, you have a traction control system that is ABS-controlled, like most vehicles. (The other is transmission-controlled.) For this to occur, an ABS sensor may have gone bad. This will cause those lights to come on and for the ABS/trac system to basically shut down.

You also may want to check the ABS fuse to be sure it isn't something easy (and cheap) like that, which might be at fault.

I hope this helps! :)

Skid control randomly engages without turning or braking on toyota sequoia. The car is forced to slow down by the vsc system and then it releases with the vsc off and trac off warning lights showing up on...

I had the same problem. the jerking breaking and pulling to one side, but if u are going over 70 miles and that happens to you, you better start praying cause it will **** so hard that its hard to control. the yaw rate sensor (prox $400 on line) needs to be replace and adjustment (i beleave only the dealer can adjust). What I did to solve the problem is to eliminate the sensor ($0 cost). now my SUV drives and handle just like a regular truck without traction control. Toyota is not helping on this matter and dealers just dont care. I will not put my family thru the same scarry ride. My solution eliminate the sensor, the light is on @ all time but in return a smooth ride. Im not telling you to do what I did, but Im telling you it is the Yaw Rate Sensor. Good luck.

VSC TRAC, TRAC OFF and CHECk ENGINE lights

You have to know what code is stored to fix the problem. Toyota's will generally display a Check Engine light, VSC and TRAC light all at the same time, even if it's a simple problem with an oxygen sensor (for example). You can disconnect the negative battery cable for a few minutes, even though you should a scan tool should be used, to clear out the code.
