Well, that was easy and no more painful than I already saw. I brought it in today, and the so did a zero point calibration with the special service tool paper clip. All done, finally. The of thing was that the truck wouldn't take the zero point calibration with the Toyota software like the...

Well, poking around for answers on the internet, I will do these tomorrow. Check gas cap, and clean sealing surfaces, check brake pedal switch, and maybe clean it up with electronic cleaner. Beyond that, it sounds like it could be just needing the zero point calibration done again. Since I...

Hopefully we find an answer on this thread. So, have you had to take yours in for emissions testing with this issue? I have to take mine in this week. I assume that since our emissions tests are done without the car driving any where, I should pass, right? That's my logic, and I battled...

Yeah, I looked at all the auto parts stores, the OEM one was 230 at best. Oh well. The wife picked it up on Friday, and on the way home, the vsc off and track came on. The shop was closed for the week at that point. I called the so, left a VM, and he called me back. I can drop it off...

OK, I took the runner to the local independent shop I trust. The front right wheel abs sensor is shot. Labor's 70, part is $230, and not available until tomorrow. The whole deal will be $330. Sucks that the part is so pricey, but I looked and that is fair part pricing. There's cheaper...

All stock, or stock replacement bulbs. I think I've only had to change the license plate bulbs, and 1 orange DRL bulb on it ever. Thanks for the idea though! This trucks been awesome. Original rotors, exhaust, sensors, you name it aside from plugs, water pump, timing belt, serpentine belt...

No, the brake fluid level is well above the low level. It's right at the level it should be.

No, no noise. We did replace a front wheel bearing about 2 years ago, and the abs light didn't light then. Literally, the only warning light to ever come on before this has been the tire pressure light.

I'll check this. Hopefully this is it.

So, it won't take the zero point recal. Abs light, as well as trac lights on before the brake pedal is touched. I'm at a loss as to what I can do. Wouldn't the scanner at O'Reilly be able to determine if there was a fault in the abs system? Or is that only on the newer 4 runners?

So, I took the truck to O'Reilly today for a scan. There are no faults, and it said the abs system is not supported. So, I need to see if the abs light doesn't come on until the brake pedal is pressed. I think it is on all the time. But I'll report back. Any other advice? I'll try the...

Yeah, I think there's something to the DTC. The lights are on from the time the key is turned. The lights just don't go off after a second or 2 like the other warning lights upon start up. I'll have the truck scanned at a parts store. Something tells me the shop that mounted the the...

We've had this truck since new. 04 v8 4runner sr5 4x4. It's been great. 145k now Regular maintenance only, plus a front wheel bearing, water pump and belt. Since 20k on it, we put pirelli scorpion atr 265/70 r17 on it. Last winter, the pirellis were replaced, yes, they had a ton of miles on...
