Possible Front End Suspension Problem

Yeah easy money. Honda does the same thing sometimes with their radio lock codes.

Anyway yeah OP when I used to have a lift on my truck the same thing would happen to me on highway off ramps. But at the same time I work for a Dealership so it was free for me to try the calibration.

 

some things i dont mind spending money on. safety is one of them

 

I see your a 2010 depending on your Date of First Use the dealership might be able to do this under warranty. Tell them the VSC was coming on on off ramps and they should do a calibration for it after a road test. You can going with one of them too to get it to happen.

 

I know exactly what you are talking about , it happens to me as well

The skid control ecu ( VSC ) thinks you are going into a tail slide / roll over condition and brakes the wheels to keep you from continuing into the " slide "

Unfortunately , you aren't sliding , you are steering , and the result is understeer pushing you straight on , particularly unsettling when turning right and the understeer pushes you toward oncoming traffic

As a temporary fix you can push and hold the VSC button for 5 seconds till the VSC OFF light is the only one lit

This will greatly turn down VSC sensitivity

 

I'll try, they may blame it on the lift and tires. so they may not cover it for free. but we will see

 

OP , did you get an alignment after your lift was installed ?

 

If all else fails take the ABS 1 fuse out it will disable it all. I did that about 2 years ago and never have looked back.

 

Ill try this before i go in to toyota, the hard part will be trying to create to problem again, its only happened a few times to me

 

yes

 

FWIW , I now turn off VSC everytime I drive my truck due to this issue

 

and finally this ^^^

Or an ABS bypass switch

 

Does this disable the whole ABS system?

 

i did that for a while also, but when other people would use the truck they would forget.

 

yes much better if you ask me

 

This fucking bullshit just almost sent me off the freeway and into a dirt embankment 20 minutes ago tonight. I am either going to try shimming the YAW or if that doesn't work just shutting VSC off. This system failure in critical moments of driving is unacceptable.

 

Good luck, I'm to the point where i can see a curve that will make it go off as i'm coming up to it. I just slow down and take it E Z.
I decided I didn't want to disable the ABS, and i haven't had a issue in the past few months.
