CEL and Traction Light came on today - Toyota GR86, 86, FR-S and Subaru BRZ Forum & Owners Community

Just driving and both of these lights came on and the traction light went off then came back. The check engine light never went off. Called dealership so that I can bring it in but has anybody had this problem and if so what was the issue.

the gas cap would throw a CEL but the slip light?

mike123mdc · 05-11-2013, 02:15 PM

ya slip light came on too. it was weird

That's crazy that it would cause the slip light to come on as well. I thought it might have been the gas cap as well. I opened it up and closed it back tight but lights are still on. So I'm gonna run it on my Toyota Techstream and see if the problem comes up. If not then I'm gonna take it into Toyota this week because I don't want to chance it if it happens to be something else. I just hope it isn't something major because I just got the car in March. But thanks for responding @mike123mdc

My FR-S did the same thing about a month after I bought it. Had to take it in and get the ECU replaced. There's a whole thread on the issue here:

What was the problem?

I had this problem and checked the fault code on torque app. Mine was due to system too rich error. If you have aftermarket air intake then that might be it.
