Apparently there is a free owners manual you can obtain if you have an copy registered with Techstream
I do not see any owners type manuals on the site, but I don't have a login to get passed for some pages in support or downloads. Globaltechstream.com Check that site out, if you have registered and purchased your copy then you should have access to whatever is there. I've never heard of such a manual, only installation information and quick start guide.

If you watch this link about 13 minutes in the presenter mentions it but as you pointed out you need the sign in
What hes referring to is if you click the link in GTS, it will open up TIS (the service information site) which will populate the info of the vehicle you're connected to. On the TIS site there is RM information (which he mentions) and you can also get the Owners manual for the vehicle there. He was explaining the information available on TIS, and how GTS will link the vehicle your working on to that site you browse through applicable data. And to your point, TIS access requires a paid account. I hope that makes sense! As a side note, all owners manuals for vehicles are available via Toyota.com.

Thanks for your information and I understand. I was trying to access live data and thought that manual might be of assistance
For live data you will want to go to “data list“ after selecting an ECU.

OK Does let you read the data as you are driving. I am trying to work out what is dropping my cruise control out

The Techstream software will read live data for some systems. I don't know if it will read the data for cruise control.
This is independent from the Techinfo site, which has the online repair manual.
Do you have the repair manual? If not, and can provide the year, model and engine type for your vehicle, perhaps one of us could help with the diagnostic procedures.

You will see some info in Engine ECU I believe, but I haven't connected to a 200. Lbridges is right, I would check the RM flow of your symptoms (assuming no DTC) before trying to look at a bunch of values on the fly. Based on your info about cruise "dropping out" I'm assuming that it is working and then turning off. If the cruise light stays illuminated but the set speed stops holding, I would take a look at your brake switch, as an easy first thing.

Thanks your help is greatly appreciated

On minor corners the cruise control light remains on but the set speed light drops out with the cruise control. You can reset the existing set speed by lifting the lever up once out of the corner. The vehicle has a 2 inch suspension lift and it is not the only vehicle doing it with a lift.
That would be the exact & correct response to a touch on the brake pedal (at least for US models). @Blomdala may be onto the problem. That is, somehow lift is impacting the vehicle in such a way as if it thinks brakes were applied.
Will have to do some thinking and research.
One other thought. Since this is occurring for lifted vehicles and while turning. Are all of the trucks KDSS equiped? I'm not clear how yaw rate sensors plug intot the system, but I think collectively they might induce something that makes the truck think it needs to slow and then drops the cruise.

Do you have radar cruise? Or any message in your information display?
According to the automatic fail safe chart of cruise control. The only options based on your symptoms (raising the lever to set speed again, cruise still on)
Are:
Vehicle speed is lower than low speed limit (approximately 40 km/h [25 mph]) while running with cruise control system on
·
Vehicle stability control system operates while driving with cruise control system controlling vehicle speed*3
·
TRC operates for certain amount of time while driving with cruise control system controlling vehicle speed*3
·
TRC and VSC are off*3
·
The vehicle speed is less than the stored speed by approx. 16 km/h (10 mph) or more
Sorry for the odd formatting. According to the chart, the brake switch issue would cause you to need to push the cruise button on again, or you would have a message on your display of the malfunction.

Sorry no radar cruise
Vehicle speed is approximately 80klm
Stability control operating has been my guess at the problem but no indication noticed from lights
Don't know if the traction control has operated but no lights noticed to indicate it. Of coarse the TRC and VCS lights may have only come on for a fractionof a second
Vehicle speed has not dropped noticeably and the speed into the corner is not what I would call fast. If you drop the set speed to 70klm it does not drop out. This is what I think points to stability control and what I was hoping to confirm with live data. Even if I was to confirm it, is it able to be adjusted

Let me look around a bit. Is your 2 in lift fairly soft? Meaning would you say there is a significant increase in body roll compared to stock? Maybe there is enough extra Yaw movement that its concerned about vehicle speed? That does seem overly sensitive though... Usually when VSC or TRC activates, even for a split second, you should see the light on the dash and hear a noise. But if you go to the VSC ECU data list, you should see some values there change. Side question, is the rig a manual transmission? As for adjustments, the VSC is a locked box...

The lift is firmer than original without being harsh (although some think it is, it is a 4WD not a limo). My vehicle has KDSS suspension which should reduce body roll, maybe adjusting that is a thought if possible. It has been reset by the installer but does that mean it is right. I did drive a similar model with the same lift and no KDSS the other day which dropped out at the same spot at the same speed on the same corner but it may have different settings in the stability sensor. It would be good to be able to try a Yaw sensor from that model in mine but appears on inspection that you have to remove the the centre duct work from under the dash/radio area to remove it (not so simple but certainly possible). Your help has got me further than anyone before. You cant believe how much I appreciate it, not to mention all the others that may benefit if a positive result eventuates.
Glad to try and give a crack at it! Sorry I couldn't get to the root of it. I'll keep watch for any updates from you, but based on the cruise light staying green, and the set speed dropping, the repair manual says that you either have a manual speed cancel (like accidentally bumping the brake pedal, tapping the clutch pedal, etc) or an automatic system cancel (which is what is listed above, basically only speed related or VSC related). Anything else would be giving you additional error information. Or should be at least. IT is really interesting to see two similar vehicles having the same issue, makes me feel like less of a malfunction or damaged part, and more of a calibration issue. Are there ride height adjusters for your vehicles? If so maybe tricking them or adjusting them back to "normal" height would help.

I am not sure what you mean by ride height adjusters. Its not just 2 similar vehicle there is heaps more around. Calibration is what we have been looking at but need to confirm what needs calibrating if it is possible of course
