Greetings All....new to the site, but eager to learn. I recently bought a very nice 1994 LS400. The TRAC light intermittently comes on in the speedometer section. I'm not talking about the TRAC OFF button that can be manually defeated, but rather the light alone. I'm assuming this means the system is non-operational while the light is "on."
I've read so many postings online and the bottom line is that no one seems to have THE answer. I've read everything from accumulators to brake fluid to electrical tape !
With all the brain power here, I'm banking that someone can help.....

You can see if there's any "trac" codes: http://www.lexls.com/tutorials/intro/codereading.html
But usually when the "trac" light comes on intermittently it means you're low on brake fluid.
If you bleed the brakes you need to remember that it's not a simple bleed. You also need to bleed the traction control system. I don't remember off hand the procedure but if you do a search on it there's alot of threads on what order to bleed everything.

Thanks, however the brake fluid level is fine. How odd that NO ONE can tell me how to really fix this dilemma. Sounds like Lexus should have recalled this issue years ago.....

You shouldn't go blaming Lexus for a simple wear and tear maintenance. Recalls are made for something that can cause series injury or death.
