On the plus side, the lights aren’t burned out.

Stability control is for chumps.

Do you have an OBDII reader?

Yup. Keep it in my center console. Slapped it in while waiting at a train crossing and pulled the resulting VVT code. Not a super simple one to diagnose, sadly.

ECT PWR doesn’t do anything anyway :p

It’s a VVT code. Toyotas all disable the stability control if you so much as have a misfire.

When you’re Jake, you have to enjoy what you get.

Remember what I said after you got your bike up and running? My bad

All it does is change base trans line pressure and shift points as well as enabling two-gear kickdown. I leave it enabled because the trans feels just a bit less sloppy with it on.

LOL does it even do that? :p

I had three Toyotas with that shit, and it seemed to be a placebo in every case! A 1g Camry, an ES250 (2g Camry), and an ES300 (3g Camry), and in all three the ECT PWR seemed to do absolutely nothing

That is always my concern when driving an old car that runs like shit, the check engine light being off is not comforting lol. I had a code for my cam sensor misbehaving for a long time in the Miata, most likely due to the harness being crap because new sensors didnt fix the code. But when it started knocking and running poorly, the light went away magically. It was intermittent so it might have been a coincidence. I didnt drive it very much while knocking. But it still makes me superstitious that there was no check engine light with how it was running and sounded. Its all moot now though since the car is in pieces being disassessmbled slowly.

But did you explain to the folks at home what a VSC is?

Makes a fairly large difference in my LS. Not so much in my IS.

My LX470 has this fun party trick where my CEL, TRAC, and VSC lights will all go on if my gas cap isn’t positioned *just* so after filling up.

Have your battery tested. Dead serious. That's exactly the same set of lights + VSC warning that would go off when the battery started to go bad on my LS.

Those lights go off for any CEL at all. In this case the code was for the VVT actuator on bank 1.

Yeah. That’d trigger an EVAP code which would set off the normal assortment of lights.

I n my IS it noticeably sharpens the throttle response and changes the shift points
