Drove my son's 2002 lx470...He's been telling me for a while his traction control been going off for no reason...well today it went off , straight line driving, perfect day, no wet roads...any input??
 
When it happened to me it was my rack and pinion. It would also kick the cruise off in a curve but only in right hand curves. Very nerve wracking when it happens
 
Dirty or faulty wheel speed sensors?
 
Same as some other people have mentioned.

Wheel speed sensor.

I was just able to clean it, and the issue has not reoccurred.

Hope that helps.
 
His steering is a little sloppy , and his cruise kicks off in turns same as above poster

Same problem I had. Cruise kicks off. Traction control would kick in. Sometimes one wheel would brake hard. Sometimes it seemed to be alternating the braking from right to left to right, etc but I can't be sure of that. A warning light would go off but I was always busy trying to regain and maintain control of the vehicle so I never saw what the light said. It's a dangerous problem to have

I replaced the axles (rather than rebuild), repacked the wheel bearings, changed the front brakes, installed a new steering rack and had it aligned... Once I finished with the steering rack the problem never occured again
