VSC, TRAC off , Check engine lights are on. Getting a jerk shifting from park
What is your question?
Recently a couple of days after an oil change while driving back home from work the VSC light with the check-engine light came on. went to Autozone to get a reading for check-engine, no code was read. However, getting a mild jerk when putting to drive or reverse. Also mine is a V6 engine and used to race up immediately when you press on the gas. Now it takes a few minutes to get to the proper speed. Getting Jerk whenever you shift from park to drive or shift to reverse from drive too. After i get the TRAC light off and VSC off, when I shift to reverse drive, I get a slight jerk and the lights get on. Also performance the drive is not a it was before. Need to press on the gas for it to accelerate vs earlier a slight push would accelerate.What could be wrong? what is the estimated repair cost to fix the issue
What makes this problem better or worse?
About the same
How long has your 2005 Toyota Highlander had this problem?
Impossible to estimate cost UNTIL failures are discovered.
Impossible to determine failures UNTIL *hands-on* test is performed by qualified personnel - which is not available at the parts stores..
Comprehensive scan test along with the necessary subsequent *hands-on* testing is required.
Good luck!
Hint - anytime there is an engine operation problem - vsc - traction control are disabled by default.
Agree with Pushrod. This sounds like something related to automatic transmission controls and functionality; with Toyota's I've experienced the same kinds of things as you described. Testing can't be with an "Autozone" tester -- you'll need real hands on testing with real equipment by a real technician.
