I just bought a 2001 4runner which drives great until I took it up paved canyon roads with twisty turns. When transitioning from turn to turn, (right-left, left-right) my traction control starts beeping although I have full traction, then it locks up my front brakes (more heavily on the right).
This is dangerous and probably shouldn't drive until I find a fix, but I will be moving soon and need the car. Thinking of doing the andy-mod without a switch until I can get one. Essentially just cut the wire and leave traction control off. Will this prevent my traction control/VSC from locking up the brakes? Will cutting the wire and not adding a switch mess anything else up?
Will also try zero point calibration and see if that works.
Some other things:
-car is completely stock, previous owner said he never put lift or any other mods
-166,000 miles (maybe shouldn't have bought with so many miles but I like the 3rd gen)
-took it to get an alignment, came back with the alignment worse, steering wheel 5 degrees to the right. Noticed TC issue before alignment though
-little bit of play in the steering wheel, but still responsive and turns great until TC kicks in for no reason
-No lights (TC,VSC, engine, etc) until making above mentioned turns, then TC light comes on, but not VSC
