How can i tell if i have VSC/Traction control..

[BlackCamSe]

As alot of you know, i just got my new 2008 LE V6. Short of floreing it and breaking it lose, i would do that but its a new car and it has to be broken in first. So how do i tell if i have traction control, and/or skid control?

I believe if you have VSC/Traction Control, then there will be an indication lamp on the dash when you first start the car up.

Read the Toyota window sticker...................

Read your Owner's manual..........

Your car is still pretty new, do you still have your window sticker? It should be listed as an option or an option package on the right side. According to the Toyota Website, that option is either available by itself for about $650, or bundled in a large package that costs about $2600. (moonroof, JBL cd changer, bluetooth, and the vsc/traction control).


Otherwise, I think that if you have VSC/Traction control, as said above, you'll have an indicator light on the dash that looks like a car with skid marks. On my hybrid, (which is a bit different), it's in the lower right hand corner of the dash/speedometer.

If it turns out that you do have it, make sure you tell your insurance company, it may save you a few dollars on your car insurance.

Good luck.

It's Goning To Be In There Regardless. If You Have It, Or Not. All Camry Manuals Are The Same. My 02' LE Doesn't Have Side Air Bags, A Moon Roof, JBL Radio, Or ABS. But, It's All In The Manual.

i knew i had VSC cuz it was on the window sticket....i confirmed it when i floored my car out my neighborhood, my tires spun out and the traction indicator started to blink like xmas lights. lol

Here are pics of mine with VSC/Trac.. even though it's an SE, you get the idea... sorry for the blurry pics.. I took them in a hurry

What year is your SE, i have an 08 and when i start my car or just turn my key my VSC or Traction control doesnt go on. But while driving my traction or VSC will come on.

you put it to the on position, before engine startup

im surprised this wasnt suggested yet ..... surefire way to tell:

put it in Drive .... hold the brake firmly with your left foot, and gently hold the accelerator so that the revs are at about 2500 constant

simultaneously let go of the break, and floor the accelerator (dont let go until youve hit 100mph)

then you will know if you have traction control or not

I love my VSC. My 02 Camry didn't have it and I always had a lot of front tire slip. Whenever my VSC kicks in the icon on the dash flashes rapidly. I don't known about TRAC though because even though I have it, i've never seen it light-up outside of starting the car.

Another question, does anyone know if the ABS light is supposed to flash when it kicks in??
