I've lifted mine 3" at least in the front and about the same in the rear and I'm now running 295's and have never had to do a zero point calibration :shrug:

LOL, I'll take you up on that. Looks like we're not to far from each other. I'm in Centennial at Quebec and Orchard.

Wouldn't 4x4 not work if an ABS malfunction code is being thrown?

Same
Just moved my trd fronts up to the second notch and it is doing the same.
My wheel is at about 1100 so I’m hoping it’s just this.
I’ll check my wires with a meter to be sure if it’s there after the alignment and zero point cal.
Thanks for the info glad your back to normal.

i had to do it when i was on OE suspension with 265/70 Duratracs... again when i lifted and upped to 285/70... and again when i adjusted the COs.
there doesn't seem to be much rhyme or reason why some have to and some don't.

It worked!
Was an idiot at first and didn't realize my OBD port was oriented upside down compared to the calibration thread. Attempted multiple times and it wouldn't calibrate.
As soon as I figured that out, it was fixed in less than a minute along with the crawl control calibration.

Ok. So I have a new issue now.
Previously I had performed the calibration just fine, twice, in fact.
On Monday, when I was backing down my driveway to go to work, the traction light came on solid again and the multi terrain started blinking at me again. I figured no big deal I'll do the calibration again.
However this time a steering light came on with it. Not sure what that meant. Keep in mind, my alignment was still off and my steering wheel was point about 90 degrees to the left, but I was able to perform the calibration twice this past weekend successfully.
I left it alone though because I was going to get an alignment on Wednesday, which is today.
Today, got my alignment today and it's perfect.
Got home tried to do the calibration but it's failed this time, dozens and dozens of times. The alignment shop did nothing wrong, not blaming them. Lights were on two days before I went in.
Anyway, it will enter test mode, but the traction light won't blink rapidly like it says it's supposed to.
All this just stays solid
Other than those issues, drives fine and handles fine. No codes were popping up.
Any thoughts?

tough to find
A few years late but I have a procedure if needed.
I had my tires changed and alignment done, they had two men working on it going different directions. I had the same alarm codes and ran around in circles for a couple weeks.
It ended up being my zero point calibration was off. Toyota had set once a few years past but still had wild codes occasionally.
There is a zero point calibration procedure for the Trail with all the bells and whistle's. It only takes five minutes longer. I wrote a procedure for both.
If any of y'all need it drop me a line and I'll shoot it over. Probably PDF to keep from having language difficulties, OS, operating systems.

This is the first time to hear there is a separate procedure for Trail/TRDOR. I've got the exact same issue including the Power Steering Warning light, though it comes and goes rather than solid on. I haven't tried to do a zero point reset yet, but if there is a different procedure for a Trail, please share.
messaged you!

Hi Tony, Could you please send me the zero point calibration instructions that you mentioned? THX!!
I replaced Icon Delta Joint and lower spherical bearing, and switched to my 285's for some fun. I have switched from 265 tp 285 before with no errors, so I'm thinking I may have stretched some ABS/Trak/Skid wiring. I had the LCA and knuckle tied up but I guess you cant be too careful

Attached is a PDF.
Sorry for being so late in replying.
Since I did this the last time, there have been no issues or brake suddenly on as CPU thinks I am having troubles.

No problem. Great write up with detailed procedures! I can see me using this in the future with all the lift mods and tire swapping. Many Thanks!
My issue turned out to be a stressed ABS harness which of course showed no visible stress, but a failed continuity probe made it obvious. As I was in the process of removing the Icon strut, the steering knuckle slipped the strap and must have stretched the ABS harness too much (I know, rookie mistake :embarassed: ) And btw, don't let em tell you that you have to pay $100 for a new ABS harness. With some surgical sauntering, attention to detail, and quality shrink wrap, the harness will be better than new!
Thanks again and happy wheeling! :cheers:

What was the cause? I have a 2019 that I just lifted and have the lights on my dash. I'm trying to understand where to start to fix
If you just did a lift your problem is most likely that you stretched/broke the ABS sensor wires which is common if not careful during the lift install. This would cause the dash to light up like xmas.

(See my reply in this thread dated 9/17/22)
Per your experience, a good place to start would be the ABS harness that runs down the steering knuckle to the sensor. If the IFS components are not securely supported during take apart, you can strain/stretch the ABS wiring harness, possibly breaking continuity within the harness. This will cause lots of seemingly unrelated drive train warning lights. Traction technology (skid, slip, braking, trac control, crawl control, terrain select, etc) all take their queues from the ABS sensors, among other things. Another thing that tipped me off to look at the ABS harness was the OBD codes. If you haven't already, you can have your OBD codes pulled, usually for free at a major auto parts store, that may give you some guidance.
Good luck! :hatsoff:
