I have noticed something recently that got me curious, my left traction control button is intermittent when I simply press it momentarily while driving. Sometimes the TRAC OFF light would come on but other times nothing happens. Not sure when it is allowed and when it isn't allowed to come on. The long 5 sec press still works every time to turn all nannies off. Any idea?

Its a toyota system as i used to have it on my TC and now same with the BRZ, pressing the left "Trac off" button for half a second will disable the traction cantrol action momenterly and only works under 30km/h i beleive, this allows you to escape from a pile of snow or ice if ever stuck (it will let both wheels turn freely without controling their engine power nor braking on them, Lsd is still active though)and will the go back on by itself. Now a half second press of the right vsc sport button tunes down the computer assistance in the vehicle and lets you have a bit of fun but will attemt to save your live if control is lost (more experienced drivers will see a contrary effect :p and would prefer to turn off all the gismos completly). Last but not least the "lets have some fun mode" and i really do not suggest anyone to use it unless you had enough experience with this toy because she can be extreemly tail happy and that could be dangerous or fatal, press and hold "trac off" button to turn off all electronic assistance except for ABS of course!
