Traction and CEL Light
 
Today I had my traction control light come on once again. This is the 3rd time. I took it to the dealer both times. First time they changed out the ECU and it fixed it for a little then the lights came back. Then next the problem was the camshafts or cam sprocket (can't remember off the top of my head). But now its back. Anyone aware with what the problem can be. I have a manual Transmission

Without knowing the cel code it difficult , but usually you would suspect a wheel speed sensor.

When I went to the dealer they said something about the cams last time I went. This is just frustrating cause it's gonna be my 3rd time going in

Had lots of 86/brzs here in the Philippines encountering that. Toyota dealers have been replacing the brake switch near the pedal.....fixed most of them. Good luck sir

Has anyone disconnected the main engine harness in the past? That can throw out random codes if it's not seated properly when reconnected.

I always thought AVCS failure was a different light, some weird CEL code.

That my take as well
Cam actuator VVT issues usually CEL P0016,P0017,P0018,P0019. Usually triggers check engine light and car runs rough sometimes especially idle.

Traction light usually indicates prblem with wheel speed sensors , brake switch or something weird with vehicle stability ABS systems ect.

Hopefully its something along those lines. Just sucks having the nearest dealer 45 minutes away
