Guys, we've finally got the place where I need to replace the OEM Master Cylinder and ABS module on our 2003 100s. We are right at 280K miles and the solenoid will not pass the startup checks. I have the ABS light, Brake light and VSC light illuminated. I read a few threads on here and it does...

Maybe you had two threads going... I was talking about all the ABS lights on the dash and C0278 (short or open in ABS solenoid circuit) issue...

What did this end up being? I've got those codes as well...

Hello, I still monitor this thread. You may want to check the seal around the crankshaft position sensor. It is located on the bottom front of the upper oil pan. Mine was leaking and I just replaced it this weekend. Haven’t uploaded the video yet, but it’s pretty straight forward and you won’t...

Okay, so I went and got a 19mm X 2.5mm regular oring today at O’Reily’s. The 19mm measurement is the ID and it’s 2.5mm thick. It fit perfectly in the recess on the oil pan. I added a dab of axel grease to make it stick there and put the sensor back in. Torque the little nuts to 78 in lbs. and...

Guys, the dealer is telling me they don't have and cannot get the oring seal that is on the Crankshaft Position Sensor (bottom front of the upper oil pan)! I've looked everywhere for this little odd looking oring (has a inner flange on it) and mine needs to be replaced bad. What is everyone...

Guys, I know this thread is super old, but for anyone re-reading it or reading it to find out what was going on with this... I did find a worn idler pully (the one at the bottom of the belt circuit for the A/C compressor) which had significant wear. Replaced that, along with new belts, and...

Thanks guys. Appreciate the answer and the part number as well. I'll let you guys know back here how it goes and what I find. Take care, Clay

Guys, my daughter has our 99 4-Runner at college and was home recently for Christmas. I drove the vehicle after some normal maintenance and noticed the shifter lever was loose (front to back) when in any position. i.e. - in D you can move the indicator on the left of the shift all the way to N...

Mine are leaking now at 245,000 miles... I could replace the CVs with this high mileage, but I don't have any vibrations or other symtoms that lead me to think I need to replace them... What was the tool you used ($12 in your post) and where did you get it and the bands? Thanks in advance, Clay

Thanks for posting about this... Along with a severe change in weather 80 deg F. here in Texas in Feb turned into 28 deg in about 5 hours as a front rolled in. Woke up to ice on all the trees and slick streets.... got to love Tx weather! Anyway, my check engine light and the VSC Trac and VSC...

Chris, Awesome pictures and additional write up to what others have posted. Nice work. Clay

Guys, here what it was and how I eventually found it. Video posted to my Youtube channel here - 2003 Land Cruiser Sunroof fix

That was on our 2003 Land Cruiser. My '96 has 218k now. Love them both. Great vehicles.

Turned 200k!
