Yep, Not another VSC TRAC/VSC OFF Thread.
Okay so Ive searched and didn't find an answer, but what do you guys think? have you seen anything like this before? 
WTF is up with these lights? - YouTube
I checked the gas cap, ive checked the speed/wheel sensors, ive performed a ZPC like 6 times without any success..
By the way, everything was perfectly fine until this morning, Before then, I installed some HID fogs, which doesn't/didn't affect anything.

Tried pulling codes with my Techstream and nothing.
Maybe I'll try with a generic OBDII reader? I know that sounds backwards but .......

Hmm, perhaps the software has been corrupted? Some times even with the factory TIS TechStream at work just hooking it up will erase my 2004's ZPC. (Remember the '03 & '04 are annoyingly sensitive to battery voltage drops in regards to ZPC) those lights look like a ZPC calibration error to be honest with you (I know you did it multiple times, I'm just saying) but without DTCs is just a crap shoot. Its definitely an issue with the ABS/TRAC/VSC system though.

So, you think I should buy another Techstream? Funny you mention the actual SW, because I was so frustrated after trying a few times. I deleted it from my laptop and re installed it.. but still nothing.
See, that's just it too, there were zero DTCs.. I even tried checking a few times to see if it was just me not catching it or something, as well..
I may uninstall the HIDs as well just for the hell of it...

Have you tried a zweo point calibration ?
If not give it a shot it only takes a minute to do.

Yeah that Chinese stuff is pretty hit or miss sometimes, good for at home guys who don't really need a full fledged TIS TechStream 1.0 or 2.0, but support for problems is pretty much non-existant.
Glad it worked out, like I said, sometimes even the Real Deal TIS Techstream at work can be finicky with ZPC on my 4Runner.

had to look up a old PM and thread to find my own instructions i gave to you!
LOL
btw, for the next person that finds this thread. when using tech stream. its under the abs/tracs tab, then click on utlity button, then you will find a test mode tab. click on that, run and do what it says to do. then you will end up with a alternating flashing abs and vsc light when you are done. shut off and restart the lights will be off and you will be real happy!! like me :P
