Best Answer

To disable traction control on the prius:

1) Turn the car to ignition by pressing START twice without pressing the brake.

2) Floor the gas pedal two times (two full top to bottom pressings)

3) Make sure the parking brake is on, and while pressing the brake pedal put the car into NEUTRAL

4) Again press the gas pedal two times

5) Push PARK and press the gas pedal two more times

6) Now put your foot on the BRAKE and press START one time while holding the brake down.

Added Note: Most Prius-specific sources that detail this procedure, also include a very clear disclaimer: WARNING: The shop manual apparently states in no uncertain terms that this procedure must NOT be used to drive the car as damage to the transmission could occur due to traction control being defeated. The mode is intended as a purely diagnostic function.

Why does the traction light keeps coming on every time the car is turned on?

The Traction Control Light comes on every time you turn on the ignition. It should go off as soon as you start the engine. If it does not, then you have the traction control turned off. Turn it back on and the light will go off. If you have the Traction Control turned on and the light stays lit, then there is a problem with the traction control.
