Slip indicator lights and vehicle veers left and right

[dibekwe]

Hello, I am new here and I have tried to check if any of the threads has similar issue. Well, i need urgent help cause my problem is really a dangerous issue. I was driving on a dry and hard pavement and suddenly the slip indicator lights up and the vehicle starts to veer left & right as I struggle to brake and control the car. When I stopped the light went off and I continued without futher incident. Since then, I have had series of similar episodes and I don't know what to do or how to explain the problem to repair shop.

I have no idea, but you should get your ride towed to the nearest dealer ASAP.

What year is your 4Runner?

I have had series of similar episodes and I don't know what to do or how to explain the problem to repair shop.

1. when does this occur? accelerating, turning, braking?

2. have you changed anything on the truck recently?

3. do you have 4wd?

4. have the shop test drive the vehicle to duplicate the problem

I can't really tell what triggers the behaviour, mostly I have experienced it after a long distance travel and maybe while attempting to accelerate after a turn.

My model 2003 SR5 2WD

I have replaced the right tie rod and performed wheel alignment. That the only shop repairs I have perfomed.

I have tried to reproduce this at the shop with no luck.

Watch the video in this thread to understand how the system is supposed to work. That might help to identify what it's doing wrong.
