can you please tell me why my VSC trac,TRAc off, and engine light are on in my car..Do I need to be concerned about driving my car? Do you knw what it will cost to fix these problems?Thank you so much for you time...ms. hendricks.

Answer
I can't answer that question unless I know what the trouble codes are that are stored in the computer, you will need to have a scantool connected to the onboard computer to retreive any trouble codes in the system, if there is an Autozone parts store or Kragen autoparts check with them some of them will get the codes for you at no charge, the toyota dealer will charge a diagnostic fee but it may be worth it to find out where the trouble may be, the system is designed to disable VSC/TRAC control if there is a check engine light, in most cases the check engine light is the sole cause of all the lights coming on.
Please have the trouble codes retreived and then you can get back to me if you need further assistance.
