Default Trac Off and CEL Light

Hi I have a 2013 LS460 which I had inadvertently not tightened the gas cap on the last fill and the CEL and Trac Off have illuminated. I went to Autozone and they told me the code which made check the gas cap. I retightened and refueled at about a half of tank of gas and the light has still not gone off. Probably went about 10 on off cycles with the ignition thus far. Any idea how to get these warning lights to reset?

It usually takes about 150 miles of driving to reset the light. If you still have it, there may be something besides gas cap at issue. I'm surprised they didn't reset the light for you when you bought the cap. Or didn't you buy a new cap? O-ring goes bad = new cap, tightening it won't fix it. A cheap way to try and fix issue.

Thanks for the info. I did not purchase a new cap as it was my mistake not to tighten the cap. I am probably close to the 150 mile mark so I will wait another few more days to see if it goes out.

It could be GX460, you are better off asking your question on GX460 forum.
