Hello all,
I'm having some fun lights pop up today. I haven't driven my 100 in three days or so, started it up to pull into the middle of the driveway to install the snorkel and the battery, abs and brake lights all went on as well as the airbag light for a minute.
I drove it around a parking lot next to my driveway, they stayed on, and I pulled back in and here's a quick summary:
Turned truck off.
Turned back on, no lights.
Put it in reverse, battery light pops on.
Put in park it goes off.
Put it in drive, give a touch of gas and battery light, abs and airbag light go on.
Put it in park and they go on and off.
Checked the battery connections and nothing is loose. Battery is one of the Toyota TrueStart that came from the dealer, it's marked 5/15 so maybe it's just going. Never had any experience with them previously.
Put the reader on and zero codes come up.
Asking for opinions because I've heard the ABS issue is $$ if it's going. Also I don't need to be driving this wonderful heavy pig and go to stop and nothing happens. Never had brake issues. (New pads and rotors all around when I baselined a year ago and all has been good until now.) Trying to avoid a tow to the shop but if I have to I have to.
Maybe (hopefully) just go get a new battery? Or don't bother and get the shop to check things out?
Any info appreciated.
Bryan
**Edit: I did have doors open for a while the last 2 days as I was working on the roof rack, might've put a drain on it, but in the past no codes have popped up. I'll sit and let it run for a few and see if that helps...
