I had the same problem. I would be driving and all of a sudden the engine would shut down. The car shifted hard and would sometimes die on idle. I researched online and some said it could be the fuel pump. So I replaced that ($55 New on ebay) and it t didnt help. Read that it could be the crank position sensor ($22 at Autozone) . Replaced that and still the same problem. I had them pull the code at autozone and found out that it was the throwing a code for the MAP sensor. I found it and when to remove it and found that the vaccuum hose was disintegrating on both ends. The guy at autozone gave me a piece about a 3-4 inch piece of fuel line because its stronger than the regular vaccuum line. Replacing that hose fixed everything ($FREE). MAP sensor was still good. Happy I found this before I started looking as vehicle speed sensors because those are expensive to replace.
Ensure your parking Brake is full disengaged
It is to the left of your hazard lights button on the center of the console.
This light will come on when you turn the Traction Control off, or if there is a problem with the system. I would check your front wheel bearings. Are any other lights comming on, low tire pressure anti lock brakes? or maybe pressing the trac button under the shifter
My 2001 Camry Serive Engine and Trac Off lights came on. What should I do?
Ball bearings are faulty .ABS , trac off , and service engine soon lights all at once
Off
Trac off means your traction control is turned off.
Those lights stay on when there is a malfunction in the ABS or traction control system. You need to have the system checked for codes with a scan tool.
It means your traction control system is turned off for some reason. Most cars with traction control have a switch to turn it off or on.
Ok, I have a 2002 Ford Explorer Sport (not a trac, but I believe most of the electrical system is similar). My lights went off when I turned the switch that is toward the bottom of the rear view mirror all the way to the left.
Those lights stay on when the abs computer detects a malfunction and sets a code.
the check engine light goes on and all the other lights ABS, brake, trac keep coming on and going off
