Electrical Troubles 4RUNNER Hi CentconPete, I've had the very same thing happen to my 2012 4Runner LE, back in 2019. The prognosis was a "Yaw rate acceleration, Centerpoint calibration" was in order; see link below to how it's done: Yaw Rate and Acceleration Sensor Zero Point Calibration My...

the party mode tweak Hi firesq14, What part do you need help with??

YEPP!!! ~rig~

...Have you tried removing the door sill & kick panel, and get a warm air blower in there to dry it out real good; could be some water in the harness connectors causing this electrical anomaly(?)! "Let us know!!"

Ok, next I would check the new door handle; may be defective! I have yet to see a MAIN-BODY ECU go bad for no reason! If not the door handle, then I'd have to check the wiring in the door and going to the Security Certification ECU, the trouble could be there... so don't give up yet HL! ~rig~...

Hi there Humble Leader..., Here's something you can try! Disconnect the battery and either, leave it disconnected for a minimum of 4 HOURS, or remove the NEG battery post, use a jumper wire and connect it to the POS post for 10 minutes, then reconnect BOTH terminals to the battery normally...

Hey Humble Leader, The sensor(s) are in the door handle, so I think you're right... everything else works just fine! No need to worry about the Main Body ECU; that just presides over 26-27 other ecu's on the network. I'd just change the handle and hope for the best!!! Please let me know how...

Hi 2021nightshade4x4, I just purchased 4 LionHart LH-TEN 275/55R20s' Yesterday, and had them mounted & balanced at walmart's Auto Care Center! I only had to sign a "wrong size tire disclaimer"; that protects walmart if ...something goes south, lol! These High Performance Tires grab the road...

Hi yeti73, When you performed the MASTER RESET of the ECU, how long did you wait for the history logs, and temporary files to be deleted? It could up to 4hrs if only battery disconnect, and 15 minutes if jumping the NEG & POS cables together! You may need to do that again if it needed more...

Hi Brandon, There could be other things going on with the codes the 4R was throwing..., but here's a method that I use whenever I have the very same Instrument Cluster issues: "Yaw Rate acceleration/and Center point steering calibration!" Yaw Rate and Acceleration Sensor Zero Point Calibration...

Hey Phil [ lj4r ] I thought you could use these pages; same as the 1'st but these display the "GND BUSS" wiring path, a 'lil difficult to see... (Highlighted in Yellow trace)! Best, ~rig~

Thanks for the post Phil, ...you'll find the trouble; especially when your 7.5A Circuit Breaker comes in! BTW: Your GND for that circuit is on page one (Bottom Center), and traces up to center page match-line#3 (green wire), then goes to page#2 where my pink highlight trace goes across...

Hi lj4r I found the Instrument Illumination Wiring Diagram that you've requested; You'll need to study this 2 page wiring diagram to find what you're looking for, but I think it'll help! "Follow the pink trace to locate your components of interest!" ~rig~ ...pm or Mention me (@) if you need...

Hi Tyler, In the above post, you said: "I am still not having any issue. At this point I am at a loss for what to check next? Any suggestions/hopes/prayers? " Is that what you meant to say or, "I am STILL having an issue...(?)!" Just checking to make sure I'm understanding correctly here! If...

Hi Sir.T.Grant, There are a couple of things I would be testing for in that situation: (1) The 140A Alternator Main fuse, and pull/check ALL fuses in D/S & Engine RM boxes, (...I'll post a electrical diagram below for Main ALT fuse)! And check... (2) Center Point Steering Calibration & Yaw...
