Check Engine

[Tuc4R]

These error light just popped up causing my 4runner to go into limp mode. If I restart the 4runner it takes it out of limp mode, but the error lights are still on. I did disconnect the battery to no avail. It seems if I go over a decent sized bump, it will throw it into limp mode. Any idea's guys and gals?

I'd start with a zero point calibration and see what happens. Might check ABS wires too

If you have a check engine light - the first thing to do is to read the codes that led to the light being set; before you do anything else. You can get a code reader online or at most auto parts stores. Basic ones are relatively cheap and will pay for themselves over time. Most auto parts stores will read the codes for you if you can make it to one. Either way, write them down and then look them up online for more detail.

disconnect pedal commander first before doing anything else

Get the codes read at big box auto shop. Going over bumps makes me think it could be abs sensor wire or sensor it self.

if you recently got gas make sure the cap is on securely.

Loose gas cap will result in a code - but it won't put you in limp mode. P0457 is the evap code for loose or missing fuel cap.

Thanks for the advice, that's exactly the issue. Pedal Commander

judging by the first picture, I fear you may have starved the engine of oil, causing damage and resulting in a CEL
