Problems with my 2000 Landcruiser 100 series

[LandcrusierNewbie]

Hey, I'm new here but I have a 2000 land cruiser & I bought it not too long ago. I've noticed that sometimes when I drive and come to a full stop. Right when I'm about to drive again, my wheels will lock up & Active Traction control will show up on my display & delay my acceleration. Sometimes when ABS lights comes up it doesn't lock my wheels. Sometimes a beeping or squeaking sound could be heard in the car if parked & doors open. I took my car to Toyota service & they told me it was the E brake that was dragging my wheels so they disabled it. Still had the same issues with it locking my wheels up when about to drive. What's the actual problem here before I start fixing it?

The ebrake and ABS light are not related in any way. I’m not sure how they “disabled” the ebrake. It’s possible it’s causing problems if there are broken parts in the drums. You need to pull the rear drums and inspect.

It's possible that the brake pedal plunger is sticking in the master cylinder. Has the brake fluid been regularly serviced? Is the fluid clear or dark colored?

I forgot what color it was but when I replaced new calipers & drum kit, we did do some bleeding. Still has the problem though

Hello, I have a 2000 Land Cruiser that is going through this exact issue. It keeps flashing active trac and my wheels lock up- it makes it really hard to accelerate. We have yet to figure out what it is. Did you ever figure it out and fix it? if so, what did you do?

My initial thought would be a wheel speed sensor is going bad, has a bad connection, or there's an issue with the abs tone ring and once in a while as you're accelerating the car is thinking one of those wheels is spinning way faster and is trying to kick on the a-track. If you have access to a scanner that can read wheel speed data this is something I'd look into.
Otherwise you could unplug a sensor, you'll have lights on the dash, but that should then disable the traction control system and be a temporary solution if you need to drive the vehicle.

you might try pulling out the wheel speed sensors and cleaning/ inspecting them
