I tried to turn it off during straights, but it just won't. later on, i forgot about the whole thing until we are on the road. I remembered and try to see if i can turn it off while cruising. It didn't. pressing the button many times and tried to hold it down, it just wont turn off... VSC Sport work just fine.

So once we got to a traffic light, i tried again, and this time light came on(trac off) and also held it down for 5 sec to turn it full off, and it worked. I started moving, it worked until i got above 30mph, nothing happened above that, doesn't matter how many time i press it. Drop speed back down, it worked again... my friends in their BRZ/FRS told me they can turn it on while at any speed(we were cruising together).

Has anyone else had this problem?


Edit: additional info. Just got new wheels and tires. TPMS warning light would flash for a bit and then stay solid. This happened while I was driving thinking the car finally figured out there is no sensor on the wheels. Now it flash everytime I start the car and turn solid
Sounds to me like it is working exactly as it should. You can not turn the traction control off while moving and if just it is turned off it comes back on at 30.

Oh and your not having TPMS sensors has nothing to do with it.
