traction control

So I just started to have a problem, I don’t know what causes it or how it’s happening but I was driving around last night and I came to a stop sign and decided to turn left. As I was turning left it seemed like the passenger side wheel decided not to lock up but to resist me, not sure if it was...

Mates, I have bought a prado from Japan. It has TRC and VSC with Center Differential Lock. I will soon my hand on the vehicle. It has 257k on the clock. I would like to know what goes wrong in these vehicles and what type of parts that need be replaced for the maintenance. Because I want to...

Can anyone please assist. With VSC off and centre lock enabled my traction control still kicks in on soft sand. I've done many km on sand and offroad tracks and this is the first time this happens. Low range with centre diff lock button pressed and both lights illuminated

Hey everyone, I'm new here, and just purchased my 1st 100-series last week. It's a 2000 LX470 with 250k miles, that I purchased for cheap with the goal of turning it into a DD. Everything runs and drives great, but I had the classic ABS, VSC, A-TRAC, and brake lights on, although brakes were...

Recently replaced wheel bearings and lower control arms now on my 05 GX470. For some reason now if you in any way try to accelerate the vehicle by the gas pedal it come to halt and applies it’s own brakes and if you try to force it to drive it locks up harder and Traction control light pops up...

My LX470 has the VGRS, VSC OFF, and VSC TRAC lights on. They are steady and remain on all the time while driving. Took it to Toyota to get diagnosed and the codes pulled were ABS: C1289, C1291, C1340 VGRS: C1554, C1568 AHC: 1777. I was told these are all related to the VGRS going bad except for...

Hopefully this post saves you some money by showing you how to potentially repair your skid control ECU rather than replacing/buying a new/used one (skid control ECU part #89540-60160). These instructions do require the ability to solder surface mount components and use either an oscilloscope...

Newbie here, I am eventually wanting to put in some traction control upgrades for my FJ40. Right now I have 31" tires possibly goto 33" in the future but probably not bigger than that. Automatic/LS conversion - mild, saginaw PS upgrade was done in the last year. Would like something...

Hello all. Apologies for a long post, but this issue has taken up many hours of my time (including reading hundreds of posts and links from here) and I wanted to be as thorough as possible in describing the issue and background. First a quick & dirty summary: my 2001 LC (~240k miles) has...
