The Slip Indicator Light on a Lexus RX 350
The slip indicator light on a Lexus RX 350 is a warning light that alerts the driver to a potential problem with the vehicle’s traction control system. When this light comes on, it is important to take immediate action to ensure the safety of yourself and your passengers.
The slip indicator light may indicate a malfunction in the following systems:
– Vehicle Stability Control (VSC) system
– Traction Control (TRAC) system
– Hill-start Assist Control system.
If the slip indicator light is flashing, it means that the VSC or TRAC system is operating. However, if the light is fully illuminated, it indicates a malfunction in one of the aforementioned systems, and it is recommended to have the vehicle inspected by a Lexus dealer or service provider as soon as possible.
It is important not to ignore the slip indicator light and to take appropriate action to ensure the safety of yourself and others on the road. This may include slowing down, maintaining control of the vehicle, and checking the tires.
Please note that if you are experiencing any issues with your vehicle, it is always best to consult the owner’s manual or contact a Lexus dealer for specific guidance and assistance.
I hope this information helps! Let me know if you have any other questions.

Why does my slip light come on and off?
The most common reason for the slip light coming on is faulty wheel sensors or defective ABS rings. Another reason could be caused by a failing ABS control module or poor wiring.
What causes the traction control light to stay on?
Broken Wheel Speed Sensors
Wheel speed sensors can get dirty or damaged and stop working overtime, preventing the traction control module from knowing when to enable the system.
How do I reset my slip indicator?
Technically, your slip indicator light should reset itself, as should the system, once you shut off and restart the engine and/or you’re back on stable ground. In some vehicles, on the main console dashboard, a button labeled TRAC exists. You can turn the light off by hitting this button.
What is the slip indicator light on a 2010 Lexus RX 350?
Slip Indicator Light
If this icon lights up and flashes (which looks like a vehicle trailed by wavy lines), it probably means that one of your Lexus traction systems is engaged. However, if it lights up and stays solid, that could mean that there’s a malfunction with one of the traction system. In that case, call us.
What does it mean when the slip indicator light comes on?
If the system indicates your tires may be slipping, the slip indicator flashes to indicate that Vehicle Stability Control (VSC) and/or Traction Control (TRAC) are operating in order to regain traction. If the light stays on, it could indicate a malfunction in the TRAC/VSC system itself.
Why does my traction warning light stay on?
If the traction control light illuminates and stays lit without blinking, this means that the traction control system has been deactivated, and there is no traction control available.
How do I turn off the traction control light?
Hit the Traction Control button located inside of your car to switch off TC. If your car has a separate Vehicle Stability Control (VSC) system, deactivate that as well. If your car doesn’t have a TC button, turn on your battery, hit your hazard lights, and press the gas pedal 5 times.
Why wont my slip indicator light go off?
A slip light that stays on usually means that TCS isn’t working as it should. Most likely because the pads are worn, or in your case, may have popped loose. I would get them inspected. Also, because of worn pads your brake fluid could be getting low.
Is it safe to drive with slip light on?
The light indicates that the traction control is working. If your vehicle lacks traction control, it is prone to rotating or sliding out while driving. Something may be wrong if the slip indicator light comes on while you’re not driving in slippery conditions, and your wheels aren’t spinning.
How do I fix the traction control warning light?
Press the gas pedal 3 times in quick succession. Then, turn your engine on all the way and let it run for a minute. The TCS and ABS lights should reset and go away if there isn’t any underlying problem with your traction control system.
