    Has anyone else run into this issue?

    A few days ago my emergency brake light would come on after I drove my truck a few feet.
    - I've read this could be something about the cable slack

    I went weeling this weekend but today all of a sudden my key fob will not unlock or lock or get my truck to even beep. Neither fob will work.

    My passenger airbag warning light on the center dash is blinking and in my dash the airbag light and the traction control light is on.

    Is this because something got wet? We had some snow on Tuesday but nothing much...

    Should I take it into Toyota?

    Day after I bought my truck, check engine light and trac off light came on. When I put the truck in Drive, the D and the 2L would both light up.

    I had a bad ECM. Not sure what your issue is, to be honest... but I know a bad ECM makes the lights do silly shit. Everything else worked as advertised.

    I had similar issues. Mine was a blown fuse. One of the ignition fuses i believe. I would start pulling your interior box fuses and see if maybe one is blown.

    Ok I'll check the fuses in the AM. Thanks!

    Would an autozone type store have a sensor that could tell what's wrong?

    No. I took mine to them to see if it showed any codes, but it didn't.

    Take it to the dealer, your warranty will cover it if you didn't screw it up.

    If it was me, I would take the brand new truck in, but for God's sake don't tell them you were wheeling. Warrenty coverage can be denighed for abuse of vehicle.

    I'm betting you have a bad wheel speed sensor or cable. Could just be dirty and a good cleaning may help.

    I just washed/detailed it. So we'll see... Also did it so if I took it in they wouldn't know it was from wheelin'

    I'm crossing my fingers that its fine in the morning.

    Ok, I found the issue.I checked the fuses and they were all good except one and a plug was loose. Not sure how that happened... but all is well now not sure if it was a combo of both or what. Thanks everyone for your inputs.

    I had a feeling that's what the problem was. Glad it got sorted out!
