KDSS Light on Non-KDSS

[mattyrides07]

Picked up a used '13 TE last week. I was told it wasn't KDSS equipped. However, when I start my truck all the lights turn on on the dash and a yellow "KDSS" appears. Is this normal for TE that aren't equipped with it?

Did you crawl under it to see if it has KDSS? In the front on the drivers side it looks like a shock attached to the sway bar. There also is some KDSS equipment ( hydraulic housing) on the outside of the frame rail under the drivers side door.

You were told wrong

I haven't crawled under it yet. We're -3 and the streets are a sheet of ice. But I will check that. Keeping my fingers crossed that I find a shock attached to it...

No need to crawl under it, just look at the front lower control arm. If there is a sway bar attached to it, you have KDSS. Without KDSS, the sway bar is much smaller, higher, and connects to the spindle.

Yes you do. Welcome to the KDSS club. I'm not sure if we have a handshake made up yet...

There is a KDSS fuse in my NON-KDSS TRD Off-Road as well. The fuses are also in the Limited’s so it seems having the fuse itself doesn’t mean anything. I tapped into mine for my dash cams ACC.
