    Npw that I replaced my clockspring, the traction control light is lit all of a sudden. What would my clockspring have to do with that? There's no traction control on/ off anywhere?
    Also, all this was for a horn staying on. horn still stays on. All for naught. Real root cause is replacing plastic isolators for actual horn switch itself. there's been so many of us that didn't know about these little white isolators.
    Now I need to find a diagram

    There's a steering angle sensor used by the traction control, attached to the clock spring.

    As usual when a warning light is on, you can retrieve the trouble codes (for traction control codes, you can use this method if you don't have a suitable scan tool: Blink (a/k/a Flash) Codes – How to. | PriusChat).

    Looking the code(s) up in the repair manual, you see just what the car is telling you about, and how to troubleshoot and resolve it.
