Traction control comes on briefly
Hi all
I have a 2004 RX 330 with 90k miles on it ,lately started to have the traction control light and sound come on when turning at low speed with brief loss of power.
Appreciate your opinions please
Tires are in good condition and roads are dry

as someone recently suggested to me: Get a $20 obd code reader
Like this one from Amazon. Plug it in, turn on the ignition to accessory or start your engine. The reader will almost for sure show an error code thrown by whatever tripped your light to come on unexpectedly. Google the code and it will say which thing went wrong how to fix. If if you don't do the fix yourself it's good info to tell the mechanic so he'll be less inclined to take liberties with your wallet.

The type of tire will make a big difference. I've run into that w/ new tires that the dealership installed before we bought our rx, about 6-8 months later, I ended up just upgrading the tires as well as the wheels....One of my on ramps to the 405 is a 3 lane S curve, the other one is a 1/4 mile 3 lane on ramp. I found it easy to spin once you get pass the push (understeer) on power. The replacement tires from Discount tire made a big difference.
