TRACTION CONTROL LIGHT CAME ON, CHECK ENGINE LIGHT CAME ON AND VEHICLE WOULD MOVE ONLY SLOWLY. TURNED CAR OFF AND ON SEVERAL TIMES, TRIED ENGAGING 4 WHEEL DRIVE AND OTHER DRIVE FUNCTIONS, TRIED ACCELERATING, BUT VEHICLE WOULD ONLY MOVE SLOWLY. AFTER TURNING OFF AND ON ONE MORE TIME THE VEHICLE DROVE AS NORMAL BUT ALL THE WARNING LIGHTS STAYED ON. THIS HAPPENED IN A PARKING LOT WHILE GOING SLOWLY.

2006 TOYOTA 4RUNNER CHECK ENGINE LIGHT DISABLES TRACTION CONTROL AND VEHICLE STABILITY CONTROL WHEN ON. FOR INSTANCE THE CAR NEEDED A GAS CAP. SO THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT CAME ON AS WELL AS THE TRACTION CONTROL AND VSC LIGHT. ICY CONDITIONS AND HAVING SOMETHING SUCH AS THIS FAIL BECAUSE OF POOR WIRING COULD BE VERY DANGEROUS. *TR
