From: Doctor Chen on 8 Jan 2008 17:41 This is weird. My family took a trip overseas for one month and when we returned the car is shot. First it's the usual low battery, ok no problem, I jump started it. But big problems when I tried to drive it. First the check engine light when on right away after the ignition is on. Then as I drive around my community the VSC and "car slippery" lights are on and I notice the suspensions are having some weird grumbling sounds. Any help are greatly appreciated. The car was totally fine when we left it. 2007 Toyota Camry SE V6, 40,000 miles. VSC and "car slippery" light on. Hear grumbling hard-spinning sounds from all 4 suspensions (wheels) Thanks!
From: johngdole on 8 Jan 2008 20:32 It may be as simple as a frozen (rusted) brake pad causing VSC hiccups. Or you need to disconnect the battery and "reset" the ECU. But have the check-engine code read by a local auto parts store for free. Call around for one with OBD-II/CAN reader. The owners of the following thread of the 2007 Camry complained about noises on the first drive in the morning. Some speculated it as VSC, others as ABS. One mentioned the famous "transmission flare" problem. BTW, there is no mechanical fix for this failure. You'll just get one new transmission free from Toyota (one owner suggested that the dealer was *instructed to ignore* the problem if it returns and then you're on your own) and hope that statistics is on your side. http://townhall-talk.edmunds.com/direct/view/.f0c6927/10 On Jan 8, 2:41 pm, Doctor Chen <phdc...(a)google.com> wrote: > This is weird.

Hello, thank you for the helpful tips by some and no thanks to some idiotic posts here. But anyway, took it to the dealer and they said, and get this, there must be some small animals that got under my hood and "chew up a few wires" Which in term broke a few sensors there and in term cause the car to go hay-wired on me (including the ones that controls oil pressure, which is why I'm not getting any readings although the engine's getting oil pumped through it.) Also, they recommend I resurface the brakes because it's off and that causes my car to rumble, and then rebalance the wheels. So there you have it folks. Small animals....

I heard jumping cars can mess up the electrical system. Stan
