This worked perfectly for my 2007 Camry. Thank you!
Excellent!
This is like a glitch tutorial for a video game
Yes, it's a real-life cheat code.
Thank for the info in the description super easy and fast fix 🙏🙏🙏
You're welcome.
Many thanks for the instructions!!!!
Sure thing!
Ah thank you for this, I was wondering. Second winter with my new to me 07 XLE. Luckily my winters are not that bad and it's usually just getting out my driveway that can be an issue at times.
We get them pretty bad around here, but I still find myself not turning it off most times in the winter. Only once did I manage to get "stuck" with it on, but I was able to get it out without turning it off.
Dude thank you! It works on my 2007 Toyota Sienna AWD minivan! Video will be uploaded on my channel tomorrow. I have to edit it. But, I only tried it once. And I don’t think I did it correctly. Tracy is off. But, vsc isn’t. So tomorrow I’ll try again hahaa. Also will put it to a test. I swear! Who ever found this method! The original person! You are a fucking legend! Who ever you are! Thank you!...
You're quite welcome!
thanks for the info. It worked with my car
Great to hear.
props to you for answering every comment! For some reason, this doesn't work on my 09 camry le. Trying to find other ways
No problem. At least I didn't clickbait you, title says 2007. That should prove who's giving true information.
Thanks for the help man.
Sure thing, no problem.
Thank you for sharing.
You're welcome.
it work with my 2007 Camry. tq sir
You're welcome.
Thank you so much!!
You're welcome.
I appreciated it a lot
No problem at all.
Thank you for your time.
I was wondering if you knew if how the VSC interfered with the cutches in the transmission?
No problem. I do not think it interferes with the clutches in the transmission at all. Remember that the entire car, including the gas pedal, is all computer controlled. The computer can make adjustments to sensor readings and override them as well. So if it's slippery out and you floor it, the wheels will skid, as the car has no way of knowing the road conditions ahead of time. Once it senses wheel slip, it will reduce power to the wheels, using whatever methods necessary, such as changing the data it's getting from the gas pedal and therefore reducing power, or even pulsing the ABS brakes, or a combination thereof. I don't really think it cares what gear the transmission is in or what it's doing at the time. Nor does it make any difference to the transmission, it's only actuating devices on the vehicle to do it such as applying the brakes or "letting off" the gas, as you would coming to any red light.
Thank you papi! Now I can do donuts in my 07 camry in glendale!!
Just watch out for the cops, they like donuts!
Thank you sir
No problem.
THANK YOU
You're welcome.
I'm lucky that the last two cars I've had have had a button to turn off the electronic traction control. The problem I have with it in snow is that the car applies the brakes to whichever wheel is spinning. So the harder you step on the gas the harder the car applies the brakes and the slower you go. This causes a great opportunity for you to get t-boned if you are attempting to turn left across a busy street in a snow storm. You're stepping on the gas to get you out and across the first lane quickly but the car decides your wheels are spinning so clamps down on the brakes bringing you almost to a stop and you crawl out into oncoming traffic so you step harder on the gas because traffic is coming and you got to get across quick but the car says oh no you don't and applies the brakes even harder slowing you down even more. I absolutely don't want to turn off the traction control the whole time I'm driving in snow as I'll just do random donuts in the middle of a busy street but being able to shut it off long enough to get across traffic from a stop is vital.
Yeah the traction control is another one of those nanny systems I can't stand. I've driven this in the snow with it turned off, and indeed it puts out so much power you have to have an extremely light touch on the throttle or you WILL do donuts in the middle of the road. I have not and will not take the Buick out in that. Firstly because the sand and salt, and secondly because it's rear-wheel drive.
Thanks sir👍👍👍👍
No problem.
In Australia we have Toyota Tarago's with the V6 engine and it spins the wheels with the traction control on
That would be nice if we could have anything that performs the way it should here in America.
Hehe sounded like an army soldier. 😍 Need to try this on my Camry. It's a 2.4L I hope it will work
It should if it's similarly equipped.
Thanks, your video helped me to disable VSC on 2007 Camry.🎉
There was one in my dyno shop today.
❤
You're welcome.
Thanks!!!
Sure, no problem!
I like how he says ur tires will spin “especially if you have the v6” 😏😂
The V6 in this model is 268 horsepower. It turns your average looking, boring Camry into an absolute SLEEPER car! You can easily smoke the tires on it, even being nice to it.
Ain't that the truth Jay, if I turn a corner too sharply and give it too much power it starts to just sit on the spot and spin.. I swear I could just line locky this thing and it would easily do it, I just haven't wanted to front for the tyres 😅
Nice video !! I own a 2007 Camry 3.5 LE here in Netherlands. Just wondering about the Traction Control / Stability Control option at all. Does my Camry has this features? I guess since I tried the procedure twice and nothing showed up on the dashboard.
I don't know what features your particular car has. You would want to check the window sticker or invoice to tell you if it is so equipped or not. It's also possible the car is built slightly different for other areas, this video was made in, and for, U.S. built cars.
Same way on my 06 Avalon Limited
Yes, back before the days of buttons in cars to turn said feature off, we had cheat codes IRL.
Thank you so much! Got stuck today and had 3 men helping me and I felt like a dickhead not being able to turn off the traction control off when we were driving it forward while pushing it.
I learned to drive without these "nanny systems", I still don't need them today. That's why I keep the instructions printed on a laminated piece of paper in the glovebox.
Weird. My 2005 Camry XLE with the 3.0 definitely has a traction control button. It's below the fuse box on the lower driver side dash. Strange that the 07 model doesn't have it
Yeah, not on this car, I've checked the owner's manual as well, no mention of it anywhere.

Does merely turning the VSC and traction light silver the issue on why the lights came on in the first place? That's my worry. Please respond before I go ahead to try it on my Toyota Camry 2007 Hybrid.
Please does it work on 4 cylinder? Because mine is 4 cylinder.
If the lights came on in the first place, there is a problem in the system and it's already disabled by the computer. Doing this will not help fix the problem, it's for properly working cars.
From what I've read & have been told (applying this to a GM 3/4 ton truck) that even with TC & or ST off when going more then 30 MPH TC & or ST turns itself back on. The braking aspect can't be turned off. Keeping you in control at high speeds is 1 thing but to have a button that only does it under certain speed & doesn't it turn it off completely sucks.
Really the only problem for me is the wheel braking/reduced engine power at low speed. The V6 engines in these are very torquey and will spin the wheels without even trying. At low speeds that can be the difference between making it through an unplowed snow bank or not. I once almost got stuck in this car because of the nanny systems kicking in (that's when I looked up how to disable them). I also tried it on a dry day, and certainly hit over 30 and it still stayed off. Well, at least the light stayed on, meaning the system is allegedly off, whether or not it applies anything at those speeds I don't know.
jaykay18
At low speeds and turned off, it's actually off. I just don't understand why it would re engage at above 30 mph when it's "turned off." I've been in situations where the roads are slick and it sucks when the TC on the dash shows up/flashes and you press the pedal and engine power is reduced. It makes it harder to get out of the situation. Then I have a locking rear end & the The vehicle does (what I like to call) too much over thinking. I miss the cars/trucks where all we had/needed was just a posi or locking end & or AWD or 4x4. I recall my dad saying a locking rear end was a "poor" mans 4x4. Now people will talk about how cool TC is and a must have. Yet it's not. Cars have become to idiot proof.
Yes, I agree. My first car had NO nanny systems whatsoever. It had power steering, but didn't have power brakes. I never got stuck in that car in the snow. I never slid through an intersection. I LEARNED to drive on that in the snow, so I can certainly handle a car all myself, instead of these Audis with their "auto-pilot" so the driver can take a seat in the "lounge in the back" and text without paying attention to the road.
Nice video, any chance that wherever you found the code for disabling Vsc and TRAC came with a list of cars compatible with this code ? I've tried this before with my 2005 toyota crown and unfortunately it didn't work . My car does come with a TRAC button however I cant disable VSC ...
The car this is for, as the title suggests, is the 2007 Camry. On other models, it may or may not work, but on a 2007 Camry, it will. You have a Toyota Crown, that's not sold in the US, so I wouldn't even know what would possibly work for that. You could look through the fusebox, may find a fuse you can pull that will disable it.
@@jaykay18 cheers mate, I'll look into it!
Strangely it worked the first time I did it and I never got to test it and i have not been able to get it to turn off again, no matter how precise i stick to the sequence I cannot for the life of me get that little orange traction light back on ?? Any help would be greatly appreciated.. I also am in Australia so I understand it might take a little while to get back to me as we most definitely have close to opposite time zones haha😅
Perhaps because everything is upside-down there? Just kidding!
Keep practicing, this took me many tries to get right, and you get out of practice as well. It's got to be timed right and done right. With that said, there is no guarantee this will work on an Australian model of this car; this was meant for the US market.
@@jaykay18Cheers man I'll keep trying, do you think it could be because our toilets flush the opposite way ? Or maybe a dingo ate my damn traction control module or maybe the car had a button in the beginning but that wretched dingo quickly snacked that before it went and pinched that ladies baby for dinner ? Who knows but I won't give up on this, I just happened to get it right the first time and sure enough Murphy's Law comes around and everything goes south and nothing goes right, I just wanna get this car sideways and have it stay like that and not correct it's damn self like it makes the rules or some shjt, I make the rules and it's supposed to just do as I say and basically have zero traction most of the time, but is that too much to ask ? Surely not right ? Is it not a man's god given right to get thy steed sideways when the moment strikes in his loins ? It should be a law that we can turn our traction control off whenever the urge comes and just get sideways without any penalty, the cops love to put me in the watchhouse(small jail located in the rear of most police stations in Australia) with terribly dirty cells and they most graciously gift you 2 dirty old cold and rock hard grey cusions that they generously give us peasants so ya don't have to lay directly on the concrete, so generous of them, so generous to just hold me in the watchhouse for hours for small driving offences even though I have a full license registered car and legal in all aspects bar the whole getting the Camry sideways thing that they are absolute haters about, and I'm not doing it on main roads or where any people are and do everything as safe as possible, wait come to think now that I'm typing it out in words it's dawned on me that maybe I need to see a solicitor about this because I just realised I'm a human and deserve rights and deserve to not be thrown in a cell for hours on end because they don't like how I drive 😂
@@monstercontent5497 I learned to drive with manual everything, manual brakes, manual steering, manual transmission, even manual windows! I have no use for these systems myself. If you're looking to turn this off regularly, you have to repeat this procedure each time the car is started. There may be a fuse that can be pulled to disable it permanently.
With that said, the traction control keeps me from getting in trouble with the cops. So I leave it on. If you have the V6, you have a LOT of raw power at the wheels and with no traction control, I think you have to worry more about being upside-down than you do sideways!
@@jaykay18 So I just tried a bunch of different things until I randomly got it and with mine it's literally just one different move at the end with the handbrake instead of finishing with the pedal brake, pretty weird, wonder if it's like an anomaly.. And yeah I usually have only owned manuals, I like how much fuel can be saved, I'll just be coasting around town in 5th at like 60km/he and the revvs are basically non existent and can get it to just cruise and be sitting under a grand on the rev tac, it makes a big difference in the end with making the cars life a bit easier and it literally working about 50% less I definitely notice it at the end of the week.. my grandfather used to drive his Pajero around on nothing but fumes and he'd just take the corners in 5th without losing too much momentum and if he changed down gears the car was always likely to stall because he ran it off nothing but sheer will, plus straight desperation to get us kids to school and have a break and this beauty of a car usually didn't let him down, must have felt his pain and meanwhile my 5 other siblings and I were hoping it would just give up and stall so we could have the day off, sorry for rambling but it's funny how certain things will bring old fond memories
@@jaykay18 oh by the way this car will just sit on a dirt road at about 80km/hr sorry I don't know how many miles that is but it's quite fast to be going to then just hit the handbrake, it handles so well I can stay at that speed while doing fishtails and having so much control I know I'm not gonna end up upside down unless I get unlucky and hit a big ditch, it's actually amazing, I literally have to take people out to an old gravel road and show them that I'm not lying and actually hit the handbrake at that speed and still be able to control the car fully, their bumholes definitely pucker a bit though because they go "there's no way you're about to smash the handbrake on at this speed on a dirt road"
Toyota cares for your legs, that’s why they make you do this. Good leg work out.
Yes, I suppose so.
Jay - thanks for the video and nice dance steps BTW :) . having watched the video, it's not clear to me as to why you would really want to disengage the VSC - other than if you might encounter a rogue snowbank in the middle of the street? Or, are you just suggesting it for folks who live in snow belts, with deep snow all the time? As another point - I just bought my son a used 2007 Camry V6, XLE (same as you), and the VSC did become disengaged (apparently having something to do with a ignition coil issue on Cyl 6, and a check engine light) - and when the VSC was disengaged, the display had that "Check VSC system" or similar in that small display (where your display shows tank average), and basically renders the display useless. Other than the deep snow you mention, isn't the point of the VSC to assist the driver in challenging road conditions? Thanks
Thanks Brian! Yes, you generally want to leave this system enabled most times. As someone who lives in the snow belt, the VSC system can sometimes make your car undriveable. If you get stuck in snow, when you go to accelerate, the wheels will spin out of control, then the VSC takes over and slows that all down. The problem is, slowing the wheels down doesn't allow you to get anywhere. The faster they spin, the better the chance you'll get just a tiny bit of traction, then a tiny bit more, and a tiny bit more, until finally you get out of there. Sometimes that doesn't even do it and you have to find people to help push. But if the car doesn't want to put any power to the wheels because it senses them spinning, you'll have to wait until spring thaw, at which point so many people would have crashed into the car it would be worthless. That's how bad it can get here.
As for your VSC system cutting out with the cylinder 6 issue, that's perfectly normal. Once there's a check engine light, it will often disable the VSC, sometimes the ABS system as well, which of course is a bit unnerving since it seems like everything is breaking at exactly the same time, but the fact of the matter is, the computer is programmed to do that. Smart move actually, because it lets the car behave like a car, rather than a rolling chassis with nanny systems. I started out on a car with no ABS, airbags, VSC, not even power brakes, and drove in snow just fine, I certainly don't need these nanny systems, nor a backup camera.
But I digress. The VSC is indeed supposed to help the driver in challenging conditions. Wet, slippery roads is a GREAT place for VSC. Snow and ice covered roads are also--sometimes, when the chance of getting stuck isn't too high such as on a road that's been plowed but is still somewhat snow-covered. Ice is the worst, there's almost no getting out of that without power. Especially since the heat of the friction of the tires helps melt or chip away at the ice; without that power there you stand no chance.
@@jaykay18 Thanks for the reply. agree. makes sense.
that's insane
Perhaps, but true.
Hi, My Camry (2012) petrol does not have a button to switch ON/OFF(ESC) what options do I have to switch it ON/OFF. Thanks.
Did you watch the video?
My car is a 1997 Toyota Camry XLE v6 it only has a ABS could I do that to or just unplug the relay or do something alse
If you don't have VSC or stability control, there's nothing to turn off!
If you want to disable ABS, you'd have to pull the fuse, but that of course will put the ABS light on.
jaykay18 Ok
Which years Camry come with the traction off button ?
I know that certainly by 2013 they had them, possibly before.
Does the same process reengage the VSC? I have this exact model Camry
As explained in the video, once the ignition is shut off, the system resets itself.
I don’t have a push/start button. 4 cylinder 2007 xle camry. Please advise.
Use your key as I use the pushbutton, start the engine when requested.
Not much to worry about though, the 4 cylinder engines are oil burners and will soon kill themselves so I wouldn't worry much about it. That was the worst year for 4 cylinders, and I don't think there is ever a reason to buy a 4 cylinder engine; gas mileage is very similar. Of course finding 6 cylinder engines are hard nowadays because of the EPA and push for electric cars, they'll try to force people into that and many will be duped into it. Then they'll start buying all the used gasoline engine cars once they find out how bad electric actually is.
My brother Toyota Camry shows the traction control light on the dashboard once you start the car and press the brake pedal.
Please is it normal for my brother to drive is Toyota Camry 1997 like that with the light remaining on or should the light rather remain off at all times? Please I need your help
The car you speak of is 1997, this car is 2007. Very different. Regardless, the light indicates that the traction control system is not working. It's not normal, but the car is safe to drive, the traction control system will not work.
@@jaykay18 Thank you so much. I will tell him
Will this work for the Hybrid model too? Year 2007
I'd imagine so, but no guarantees, I stay far away from that malarkey, which is why this is the V6 engine model.
I have a Toyota Camry 2007 Hybrid. The gas pedal can sometimes randomly become unresponsive while driving. The car still has power and everything else works, but it will not accelerate and slowly glide to an eventual halt as if it were on neutral. No unusual sound or anything when I press on the pedal, just zero acceleration. If I pull over and restart the car, everything becomes normal again. This happens a few times a day. Any idea what it could be? The dashboard is showing check vsc and hybrid system. I also checked the obd but the only codes that showed were regarding battery replacement.
Thanks!
Could be a few things. First of all, if the car says it needs a battery replacement, IT NEEDS A BATTERY REPLACEMENT. I know you're avoiding that because of the cost. But if the dashboard is showing that, yeah, the car is programmed to shut stuff down when that battery's no good anymore.
In addition, the car should have a separate 12 volt battery like a normal car, if that's bad weird stuff like this can happen. The sensor in the gas pedal also can go bad, though in this case the car is telling you right off you have a problem. Listen to it. If you don't want to, replace the vehicle. That's why I own the V6 instead of the hybrid.
Hello, how are you doing? I got a question. I got 2007 Toyota Camry SE. How do I know my car equip with traction control or not?
If you have the V6 it's easy. From a dead stop just nail the gas, the tires will spin and chirp and you should get a flashing indicator on the dash for a few seconds if you have it. If you have the 4 cylinder, get rid of the car, it's going to burn oil FAST, leak coolant into the oil, blow the head gasket, and anything else imaginable to self-destruct. The 07 4 cylinder had SERIOUS engine issues. If you want to try it with the 4, wait until it's raining out steadily and then try it, result may only happen with worn tires. Also helps if you can be turning a corner at the same time--shifts the weight to one of the tires better leaving another one more free to spin.
Thank you so much for your help. If I jack both front wheels of the ground, then put in gear. Is it going to work?
Probably not. It's looking for a differential between the two wheels. Believe me, you're safer actually doing this on the ground behind the wheel.
When is the vsc on/off? Is it when the light is off or on?
I have asked so because when vsc on my Camry 2007 is on that's when it drives normal
When the light is out, the system is turned on. When it flashes, it has detected wheel slippage and is applying corrections suck as apply the brakes and/or reducing engine power. When the light is on solid, that indicates a problem with the system and it is disabled. Pretty much like any other warning light on the dash.
Man even the simple days of the Off button they seem to get rid of on cars.
They didn't get rid of it per se, they just hadn't invented it yet!
I know its been awhile since you posted this. Is there a way to turn it on?
Back on after this procedure ^
@@Tacky_fn As stated in the video, this procedure is for THAT turn of the key only. You want it back on, shut the engine off and restart it.
What if it turns back on after a couple of days??
You obviously didn't pay attention to what I said in this video, or read the description for that matter. Watch and read.
if my 2007 hybrid camry is making a beep sound w all the lights on when i turn the car on , will this work to fix the problem ?
What made the car start doing that in the first place is the better question. This won't fix it, and neither will jumping up and down on the back bumper, but people have tried that as well. Having all the lights on, and I mean ALL the lights on is a very bad thing, we call that "the dashboard lights up like a Christmas tree." Traction control has nothing to do with that.
ok thx for your quick reply. maybe from driving fast and breaking. I really don't know. 😢
@@preetsrivastava7970 OK, best of luck.
ny idea how to do this on a hybrid where when the VSC decides its not calibrated and sets the hybrid into a code that the car wont start?
That's exactly why I bought the V6, and not a hybrid.
Did you ever come across a solution for your VSC problem ?
@@jediknight5634 I did so much work on it I don't even remember exactly.
Well I can say I never figured out a way to disable traction control.
The driver ultimately fried the hybrid inverter by driving it after changing his air filter and leaving a hose off. This caused the engine not to run well enough for the hybrid system not to persistently try starting it while he was driving until it quit trying to start it, then he drove it till it stopped entirely.
But I had found numerous issues over a series of months. The water pump had a broken wire, a censor for the 12v converter was not working which I think was another broken wire, the 12v converter itself was only putting out a max of 5 to 10 amps because another mechanic put a regular car battery in it which over burdened the 12v converter during charge.
That is something there everybody needs to consider in the hybrid is the 12v converter. It is designed to supply all the 12v needs and charge a battery, but NOT a regular car battery. The stock battery is an AGM which doesn't have a whole lot of power and also does not take a whole lot of amps to charge. If you have a regular car battery and run it down it will take a lot of power to charge even if only for a short time. This exceeds the performance of the DC to DC converter and can damage it causing all sorts of problem.
Theoretically, the 12v AGM battery could be replaced by any small, weak low performance battery of matching voltage and low rate charge capacity because all its used for is to power up the computers. But not a high power regular car battery.
I've learned a lot about these things over the last few years but its hard to explain because there are so many things that can go wrong triggering a common end result which fails to give you any clue where to start with diagnostics. Especially with the millions of miles of wiring and the aging of these things. I only ever designed and built customs, and specialized in European and exotic cars before. Working on a fleet of Toyota's has been a hell of nightmare. I can't follow their logic and often proprietary engineering. But they seem to work well once you have everything in perfect order.
I have a 2004 Camry XLE with the 2AZ-FE 4 cyl. How can I find out if my car has traction control in the first place? When I turn my Camry on no such "car skidding" light comes on. In fact, in never shows, ever? How do I find a definite answer? Through my VIN? Contact Toyota?.. or what?
I didn't know they offered the XLE with the 4 cylinder. Honestly, if you have the 2AZ-FE, I wouldn't even be concerned much about traction control as I would about that engine committing suicide. I had a 2002 with the same engine, it was the worst car I ever owned. The engine lost oil pressure, the oil light never came on because the oil pressure sensor got "lazy" and never reported issues in time, which of course I found out later.
Additionally, the 2AZ-FE engines GUZZLE oil, they run more on oil than they do on gas. If you don't think you're burning any, you are, and bad, 1 quart per 1000 miles is NORMAL for that engine. Additionally, the engine block head bolt threads have a tendency to pull out of the block as the mileage increases, which will allow for more oil burning as well as coolant guzzling. It'll be very costly to fix. Basically that engine is a ticking time bomb. After I owned one, I swore off 4-cylinder engines. I will never buy another car with a 4-cylinder engine. The 6 doesn't use much more gas at all, it's well well WELL worth the upgrade.
Regarding the traction control, chances are you don't have it. In 2004 it wasn't a very common option at all. Easiest way to test is in the snow, especially with worn tires. If they spin out of control like any other car, you don't have it. While it is entirely conceivable that the car does have it but the light in the cluster went out, it's unlikely. Although that's another thing to watch out for on that generation Camry--the instrument clusters have a tendency of going dead. And the transmissions have a tendency to just quit without warning, leaving you stranded. I speak from first-hand experience on ALL points I've mentioned. I'd be more concerned about selling that car before it costs you more than what you paid for it. May not be today, may not be tomorrow, but its days are numbered to say the least. I have plenty of other videos showing these problems if you need more proof.
Second owner. Car has over 394,000 miles. Sure it burns oil but I'm getting a 2002 Subaru Legacy Outback Limited. I want to run the Camry raw for the last few weeks while I have a chance ;-)
Anyone have any simple mods I can do for nearly no $?
I never knew one of those engines could POSSIBLY run that long.
Simple mods that cost nothing? With a reciprocating saw you can cut the muffler off, they get REALLY loud the closer you cut it to the engine. Only other thing I know is you can remove the instrument cluster and disconnect it, it still starts and drives perfectly, though obviously you'll have no gauges, and it won't log any mileage!
I think the 2azfe only had problems in the 2007-2009 Camrys. Yes the head bolt getting stripped was a problem in older ones but not all of them I dont think. We owned a 2004 with the 2azfe and it was the best car ever. Put 100k miles on it and never replaced anything. We also owned a 2008 with the 2azfe and that was a terrible engine in that car. Had less than 70k miles and would knock and burn a bunch of oil. I have your exact car in the video and am very happy there is a solution for the no traction control button lol. Thank you!
I had a 2002 with the 2AZ-FE engine. That entire car was the biggest junker I've ever owned. The engine lost oil pressure while going up a hill, yes the oil level was correct, yes the oil was changed regularly. The car NEVER alerted me to the low oil pressure, because the oil pressure sender was lazy. I found out a few moments later when it started clanking. It also burned plenty of oil. Transmission stopped transferring power to the wheels abruptly, no warning. Wiper arms bent in the snow and rusted. Squeaks and rattles all throughout that car. Then the instrument cluster took a dump, none of the gauges worked. I'm certain there were more things wrong with that car. But that 4-cylinder was one of the worst abominations of an engine I had ever seen. The oil burning was especially an issue with the 2007-2009 Camry's, which is specifically why I got the 2GR-FE 6 cylinder version. I will never own another 4 cylinder engine car again. It's an absolute world of difference, and gas mileage isn't much different.
Too bad they didn't think of a button to turn traction control off yet, but they had implemented it in later models.
nice! time to do a burnout in my dad's car
It's rather hard to drive that car on a dry flat road with this turned off, you better practice first unless you know a good reason why your dad's car is wrapped around a telephone pole.

You're actually hilarious my good man. What other vehicles have you driven? A Toyota Yaris? This car has decent pull, but it isn't some tire melting street rocket only the most trained drivers can keep on the road.
@@92clintonr Compared to the 81 Chevy Citation I used to have, that put out 90HP brand new, and probably had about 50HP by the time I got it, this is a rocketship. It would never compare to a muscle car, but from where I cam from, it IS a muscle car.
Will it work with SE V6?
I don't see why not, this one is an XLE V6.
Wow thats awful! Owned a 2009 Camry XLE V6 and it did NOT have traction control. That thing was AMAZING in the snow! I loved it! going up snowy/icy hills in the winter was great! Give her the gas and let'er rip! Favorite Camry I ever owned during winter storms!
Yeah they didn't think anybody would ever need or want to turn it off back in 07. As you know, this car is scary powerful, especially in first gear. It drives totally different without traction control on dry roads, but can sometimes be necessary in the snow.
Agree, personally I think thats one of the best V6 motors Toyota has made yet... It puts the 3.0 and the 3.3 to shame!
I have the exact same car, and my issue is when i get the 'check vsc system' usually the next time i start the car my battery is dead. Any reason why this happens? It only happens in extremely cold weather
It's funny you mention that. It's freezing cold here now, record lows, and I just received the "Check VSC System" message yesterday when starting the car. It went away about a quarter of a second later and hadn't returned. The car took me where I needed to go and restarted 15 minutes later when I left.
I can tell you this: Most people think the cold weather is what kills the battery, but it's actually the hot summer weather that does the damage to the battery. The winter simply exacerbates the problem.
I will further tell you: About once a year, I'll "reboot the car" by disconnecting the negative battery cable for about 20 minutes and then reconnecting. I don't know exactly what good it does, but it makes sense--if your computer is acting up, sometimes a reboot is all it needs.
I have to leave again today, I'll see what happens with mine and let you know. It's even colder today. I'd REALLY hate to have a dead battery also.
What do you do in that case? Just change the battery? Last night it happen to me the same problem with the same car
I have had no battery problems with mine even through this exceptionally cold winter. If your battery is more than 3 years old, they don't make them like they used to, you know, the old Sears Die-Hards and whatnot, they're just not around. Replace your battery. Be ready to replace it again in 3 years, they're all made in China now.
My battery is only 3 years old, I've jus refused to buy another one so soon 😁. I have a battery charger so I'll charge it overnight if it's extremely cold so it's ready for me when it's time to go to work. This method has gotten me thru the winter. Maybe next year I'll spend money on a new one--maybe!
It only takes being stranded once.
Will it work on a 2009 Corolla?
What part of "2007 Toyota Camry" don't you understand?
Is there a traction control troll fuse?
And thank u
There should be, but typically, pulling that will also knock out the ABS.
. For some reason my car cigg lighter won't turn on and the tradition control is just going crazy
For any lil thing the TC will go off sending the car to 30mph when I be doing 50-55mph. And it's dangerous when there r cars behind u.
How old is the car battery? If it's more than 4 years old, have it tested. A bad or going car battery can cause all sorts of weird stuff to happen. You can also try disconnecting the battery overnight, that will sort of "reboot" the car, and may also solve the issue, you'd be surprised.
@@jaykay18 I appreciate u for helping me
But I know it's not the battery. I have an optuma battery I just put in 5-6months ago. I know it has something to do with the fuses. It happened to me before ; and after awhile it stopped. But it started up again [the TC] and it's gotten worse
Yeah, your battery is new enough. Take a look in the fuse panel, you should be able to find it easily since everything is marked.
Hice los mismos pasos una y otra vez y no se desactivo, mi camry es SE
No soy el Sr. Toyota. Este es un XLE, los pasos pueden ser diferentes para su modelo.
The thing that's always bugged me about this is that the traction control would actually be helpful when trying to get out of a snow drift (especially with and AWD). The thing that inhibits it is the stability control; it defeats the purpose almost. It would be nice if they put separate buttons for each system, but heaven forbid they give the motorist more control.
This car isn't AWD. If it was, traction control would be a great thing. It's too bad this car doesn't just have a button to turn it off, but at least it can be shut off! Now I'll have to see if there's a similar procedure to trip up the ABS!
jaykay18 Right, I just meant in general. As for ABS, most cars have a fuse for that system that you can pull and be done with it for good...at least until inspection time. I know Subaru tends to put that particular fuse in weird places instead of the main box. Not sure about Toyota.
Yes, I meant if there were some procedure that could be done INSTEAD of pulling the fuse, that's easy. As far as I am aware, the ABS system does NOT have to be working in order to pass inspection, at least here in NY.
jaykay18 Oh okay, it just seemed to me that pulling it would be easier than another procedure mostly because ABS is usually something most want on all the time or off depending on preference. Toggling it on and off every time seem kind of tedious. As for the inspection, here in RI it seems like it depends on who you go to. Some places seem to flag anything as a reason not to pass a car, some places are more flexible. I think some of the standards are written pretty vaguely, so there's ambiguity. The dashboard lights are one of those areas.
All you have to do is look up the local laws for your state on the DMV website. If it says the ABS light can be on, but the "mechanic" says no, you can show him that first. If he still won't pass you, he's lost a customer.
May i ask if your car had ever experienced any transmission issues? since your car is an early 07 and i had read alot of forums regarding transmission problems with these v6 camrys. Kinda of makes me lose confidence on these cars a little since i am looking for a used one of this gen. U think this is still a good buy or should i look for later model years?
I have not experienced any transmission problems at all. I know that it's a "sealed" transmission in that there's no dip stick; I don't like that but have to live with it. The transmission is actually very very smooth. The gearing is such that at 60MPH the engine is running about 1800RPM or so, I think that's excellent and sure does great for gas mileage as well.
Some points I don't necessarily care for:
1. First gear is really too low of a gear. The engine in the 6 is an absolute powerhouse, but first gear will spin the tires even trying not to. That's not really a problem on dry roads, but if there's snow where you are, it can be disconcerting. Also, if you're stuck in traffic, which happens a lot here, the engine braking in first gear is tremendous and you really feel it.
2. It's "slow to respond" when you need power. So if you're just traveling along and you either need to pass somebody or speed away from a sticky situation, when you nail the gas, the car seems to say "Duh...I guess they want to go fast, let's downshift", so there's like a half second delay before it responds. Once it does, that 3.5 liter gets you out of there *fast*.
I read all of those forums as well when I was going to buy. And I learned a lot. The main thing I walked away with from all of those forums is: People exaggerate their problems and claim lemon law when there really is nothing wrong. Nobody can spell or use proper grammar. And most of all, people haven't the slightest clue what they even drive. A lot of those sites ask for you to enter what kind of car and engine. Now we know the one we're interested in here is the V6. But the 4 cylinder model is more popular. However, I saw a huge percentage of people writing that they had the "V4" engine. Such an engine DOES NOT EXIST! Yes, I understand the correlation of that if the 6 is a V6 then the 4 must be a V4, but that goes under the same assumption of "if a little's good, a lot must be better", and we know that doesn't work in real life.
My father looked at all of those sites also and had major trepidations about my purchasing this car, but I guess you can say I decided to "throw caution to the wind". And I'll tell you why: I just got done with a 2002 Camry. That car was amazing, it was a 4-cylinder, brand new restyling for that year, looked sporty, was fast, got great gas mileage. But that's about where it stopped. Quality control on that car was atrocious. Drivers side window wouldn't go up, there were a million squeaks and rattles throughout the car, the drivers seat was "loose" in that you could push the seatback forward about 6 inches, steering wheel made a gravel type noise when turned. The car went back to the dealer a total of 6 times for these issues.
After that, the car was absolutely trouble-free for years and years and years. I drove that car every day to work and back. And one day, out of nowhere, with absolutely no warning, the transmission died. I'd have to rev the engine to almost redline and MAYBE it would start creeping forward. There was absolutely no warning on this whatsoever, fluid was up to level, no reason to expect any problems, and dead. $4000 later I had lost a lot of confidence on that car. But I kept driving, and about 2 years later, I noticed that suddenly there was a clanking sound from the engine. No oil light ever--I watch the dashboard like a hawk because I know that if that light ever comes on the engine has lost oil pressure.
End result is the engine DID lose oil pressure, but the light never illuminated. Oh, it illuminated when I turn the key on and went out when the engine was started, but it never, ever warned me during the drive. Remember how I said poor quality control? The oil pressure sender failed in a way I've never seen before--it became very lethargic. I found this out later on when if the engine was running, and I shut the key off and turned it right back on, there was a delay of maybe 30 seconds before the oil light would illuminate. Eventually the sender failed completely, and the light would not illuminate at all. Replacing it solved the problem, but it was way too late, the damage was done. The engine clanked from then on and had a death rattle.
At that point I lost all confidence in the car. As one final nail in the coffin, the dashboard died. The problem was the instrument cluster itself failed. I had no gauges, no speedometer, no tach, no temperature, not even a gas gauge.
Coming from a 1981 Chevy Citation that was never taken care of before I owned it, that car was thoroughly worn out and broken in every sense of the word. But it was my first car so I loved it. When it died (transmission failure) it had 194,000 miles on it, which was absolutely unheard of for an American car of that age. I figured I could never have a car that would have as many problems as that Chevy. I. WAS. SO. WRONG. That 02 Camry was the biggest piece of crap I ever owned, on a car that stood for quality.
Later, I learned that I only experienced the tip of the iceberg on that car. The 4-cylinder engines in those (2AZ-FE) like to burn oil. They also tend to self-destruct around 150,000 miles.
Take my experience forward, if you will, back to the 2007 Camry. Now re-read ALL of those forums again, but pay special attention to the problems with the 4-cylinder model. Also, read into how Toyota never wanted to fix the issue of high oil consumption on the 4 cylinder, and instead devised a test that no car can pass so they could avoid paying.
The only issue, besides standard maintenance, that I've experienced on the 2007 Camry was that of the broken sun visor. This again was another one of Toyota not wanting to man-up to the problem and fix it. So I looked online, and found a replacement for $70, and replaced it myself.
After being burned on the 2002 Camry, I pay special attention to this 07, I watch everything very carefully. Nothing on it has changed, it drives like the day I got it.
As an owner of one of these cars, I've learned that they make the 4-cylinder cars for everybody else. Only a few buy the 6 cylinder because they all want the 4 with the better gas mileage. Besides there really not being THAT much difference in mileage, the 6 cylinder is an entirely different engine altogether. It came from a long line of engines that had proven track record and reliability. Once I bought this car, I realized that the 6 was so different than any other ordinary 4 cylinder engine.
The road I live on has a fair bit of traffic from time to time, so I have cars go past a lot. Sometimes, drivers are in a hurry and they'll press the pedal much more than they need to. Any 4-cylinder engine that goes by at a high RPM, no matter how new it is, sounds like it's ready to EXPLODE at any moment. Any 6 cylinder that drives by in the same fashion not only sounds more relaxed, but sounds GOOD.
I once had a co-worker that said to me "A 4 cylinder engine has to work twice as hard as an 8 cylinder engine." Well, that's not really true at all I thought, plus the difference in gas mileage between a 4 and an 8? No, it can't be true. Then I bought a classic car with a big-block V8.
Well, what I can tell you is that my co-worker wasn't exactly correct, but he certainly wasn't wrong. If a 4 cylinder engine has to work at 100% just to do its job of day-to-day driving, a larger engine would not have to work 100% to do the same day-to-day driving. If I don't push the car to its limits, and I have all that extra power there, available at any time should I need it, isn't that better than having something that can get the job done with no room for improvement? Through my experiences with the 2002 Camry and a 4-cylinder engine, I learned why I will NEVER OWN another 4-cylinder engine again.
They make the 6-cylinder models for those WHO KNOW.
Yeaaaa i seen alot of of those 2AZ 4 cylinder burn oil too! One of my friend has a scion tc with the same engine. he had the manual transmission, he drives it real hard, change his oil at 3000 mile, and it doesn't burn a drop. He is one lucky bitch.
I am like a horsepower guy so i absolutely will not be going for the 4 banger haha, even my altima is a v6. And i am perfectly happy paying for gas lol.
Yea i find some of those "experts" on the forums are quite entertaining.
I am glad about your good news with your transmission, restores my confidence on this car. I am glad that it is only an issue to some people.
And thank u for such an awesome response, you are a very caring person.
Wish me luck finding a good used one!
Funny you mention that, my sister also has one of those Scions with the 2AZ, allegedly that's fine too from 2005. I have warned her numerous times to start looking for a car NOW, but she's the type of person that when the engine does self-destruct, she'll blame me.
Anyway, I'm glad you're a believer in my philosophy on engines. Believe me, I'm no stranger to 5 MPG on my classic, so I have no problem paying for gas either. Though I will say that on the V6 Camry, I just took it for about a 250-mile trip, and although it took 8 hours because of traffic, I still managed 27 MPG! That was only because of the straighaways really, in town you'll see more like 16-18.
Yes, no transmission troubles, just bear in mind that delay is quite annoying when you need the power, but the power more than will make up for the delay. The "Sport mode" where you can shift it yourself will amplify the effects of the engine braking, especially if you downshift to first at anything beyond a crawl, but otherwise it's quite fun. Nothing like a manual of course. If they still made the Camry with a manual and a 6, I'd buy!
I hate it when I try to floor the car to speed through an interstate ramp and the stupid V6 XLE just bounces on the front wheels bc it's trying to stop me from spinning the wheels. I WANT TO GO not Bounce.
The trick is not not let it downshift to first gear. The engine is just too powerful for the weight of the car.
Averaging 16.2 MPG?! I really wanted the V6 Camry but now after seeing that I’m starting to question it.
Oh you still want a V6 Camry, believe me. It can get much better mileage. It says that because I drive in-town and only a couple times a week. I used to have a 2002 Camry with the 4 cylinder. Both cars have 18.5 gallon tanks. I used to get 400 miles on a tank on the 2002 (driving 5 days a week), and I get 350 miles on a tank with this car, as I do now. When I take it on long trips, I've gotten over 26 MPG. This 2GR-FE puts out 268 horsepower, it's very powerful, and definitely worth the 50 mile discrepancy each tank, without even a shadow of a doubt. Not to mention, you don't want one of those 4-cylinder 2AZ-FE engines at ANY price, they start having serious problems early on. I'll let you Google that for yourself, I lived it.
jaykay18 Yea I’ve seen those issues the the 4 cylinders. I really want the V6. I’ve dealt with the 4cyl Camry and Corolla, looking for something with an little more get up and go to it.
Depends on the year you're looking for. If you REALLY want it to move you'll need to look for a 2007 or later with the 2GR-FE engine. I also have a 2003 Camry, that has the older, venerable 1MZ-FE engine. It'll get away from you if you don't hang on, and it's quick, there's no denying that, but it's nothing like the 2GR-FE. The 1MZ-FE also has a timing belt that needs to be changed at regular intervals, the 2GR-FE has a chain which, for all intents and purposes, you'll never have to worry about.

As explained int he video, it's for that turn of the key only; to turn it back on you have to shut the car off and restart it.

Do you know that your car is actually eqipped with that system to begin with? Because a lot of times they use the same dashboard but leave the light bulb out behind the symbol, so you can still see it at the right angle. Saves on tooling and manufacturing costs.
Would this work with a 2004 XLE?
Try it and see. It won't hurt anything by trying.

I am just not sure if it didn't work for me ; or I was doing it wrong
I can't tell you if you're doing it wrong without watching. If you don't get a light or message or something, either you've done it wrong or it won't work with your car. You can also check your owner's manual, it might mention how to do it.
Another thing I read, not that I would even do this, would be to start the engine, and while it's running, disconnect the MAF sensor. The engine will stall. Plug it back in, and restart the engine. The CHECK ENGINE light will be on, and that should also automatically disable the traction control because it's designed to do that. As there actually IS no problem with the engine, and the fault was forcibly caused, the check engine light will go out in a few days. That will also reset the traction control back on.

I hope that your Camry has the V6 engine in it. The 4 cylinder ones weren't so good.
what is best and long lasting new car beside old car?
Toyotas have had a long-standing perception of quality. Although the quality of materials used isn't what it used to be, and Toyota doesn't do the kind of real-world testing they used to do 20 or 30 years ago, I feel they are still excellent vehicles. Remember that if you buy cheap, you'll get cheap. But even with a cheap one, if you take good care of it and give it all the maintenance it requires, it will last a good long time.
sounds like Toyota is a good car as long as taking care of the engine like tune up, oil change, etc.
Give them maintenance and they run. My dad's 87 Camry has been thoroughly battered and beaten, has over 200,000 miles on it and still runs and actually drives pretty nice.
this does not work on a hybrid system.....but the following instructions will turn off the traction control on a hybrid system......Perform procedures within 60 seconds. (lots of time in other words)
(1) Turn the power switch on IG. (This means press the start switch twice to get the dash to light up while NOT pushing the brake pedal).
(2) Now push the brake pedal with your left foot, and fully depress the accelerator pedal with your right foot, twice with the shift P position.
Note: Pushing the brake pedal in these procedure is just to allow the ability to move the shift lever from P to N and back to P
(3) Fully depress the accelerator pedal twice with the shift N position.
(4) Fully depress the accelerator pedal twice with the shift P position.
The message "FWD Maintenance Mode" should be displayed on the multi-information display.
(5) Start the engine by pressing the power switch while depressing the brake pedal.
The multi-information display should alternate between "FWD Maintenance Mode" and "Check VSC" and a couple of other lights will be on.
Next time you shutdown, the system will be back to normal.
This does not shut the ABS system for braking.
Quite honestly, that one is even more ridiculous since you're taking the car out of park. There's the potential for rolling. Even if someone's foot is supposed to be on the brake, there's always that time. That's why Chrysler was sued multiple times for runaway vehicles that the owner thought was in Park but was actually in neutral. One even killed actor Anton Yelchin of Star Trek.
This helped me out!! Thank you!

This was before they invented the button that just turns it off.
jaykay18 the traction control button was first introduced in 1987 and it included Toyota. They chose not to put it in for some reason
I was being facetious in my statement.
At the time, Toyota decided it wasn't something that didn't need to be turned off. They made several mistakes with this 2007 model.

Vacation system malfunction
Vacation system?????
It's a VERY bad idea to tell people to turn the VSC off in the snow. According to the NHTSA, stability control reduces the vehicle fatality rate very significantly.
Great. My first car had manual brakes, ABS didn't exist yet, and VSC wasn't even a twinkle in anyone's eye. I drove in the snow every single day. Forget fatalities, the number of accidents I have had: ZERO. The reason is I know how to drive, and especially important these days, I can drive *without* a phone. I don't need any nanny systems, backup cameras, lane departure warnings, or any other thing that exists today.
@@jaykay18 Jaykay, I am sure you are an excellent and safe driver. But for the population as a whole, based upon actual accident statistics in the real world, it has saved over 1000 lives per year. The system does what no driver, even you, can do: when a car starts fishtailing or sliding sideways, it brakes ONE wheel to bring the car back straight. It is said to be the biggest safety advance since seat belts, even more important at saving lives than airbags. crashstats.nhtsa.dot.gov/Api/Public/ViewPublication/812391

This is a 2007 Toyota Camry XLE for the US market, and is equipped with traction control. If your car is different, this may not work. You also should have a pretty good reason for turning off traction control in the first place.
Why did Toyota do this, it just seems dumb?
I have no idea. I can't answer that question.
