The traction control is preventing the car from moving Mechanic's Assistant: What is the make/model/year of your car? The vascular came one as soon as the car started 2006 Toyota Highlander hybrid Mechanic's Assistant: Will the [headlights](/topics-headlight-toyota/) turn on? Is the battery fully charged? Yes and yes Mechanic's Assistant: Are you fixing your Highlander Hybrid yourself? What have you tried so far? I’ve tried holding the Vic off for 3 seconds no another method of pressing down on the the [brakes](/topics-brake-toyota/) so while alternating between park nd neutral Mechanic's Assistant: Anything else you want the Mechanic to know before I connect you? No. Does this assistance cost?

Hi, my name is\*\*\*\*\* to justanswer. I will be assisting you with your question this evening. I am sorry that you are having difficulties with your vehicle and will do my best to help. There is a $5 charge to answer your question which I assume you already paid to get this far. If you choose a phone call, that will be an additional charge. I would rather continue chatting online in case I need to send diagrams and schematics. So, just to clarify, when the gas pedal is pressed the car will not move and accelerate? Are there any warning lights illuminated on the dash? **\*\*As far as phone calls, If you didn't request it, it is most likely the Website prompting you, not me. A Live Call is a "Premium Service" and will cost more money. I prefer communicating via this site, but in some cases a phone call may be recommended.\*\***

I do not know why, but The car started working. Thank you.

Okay, good. I would suggest getting somewhere safe before it happens again and then making an appointment with your local repair shop to have it checked out. Best of luck with your vehicle, and thanks for using justanswer.
