Brake Overload Malfuntion

2017 Off Road with 595 miles. The dash lite up with this message. The dealer has it now; I will let you know what they say.

 

That is different, please do post what they find.

 

What were the driving conditions when it fired off?

 

Have you hooked up a trailer ?
Or installed a brake controller ?
Blue wire is brake controller line, if shorted will give this usually.

 

No kind of hook ups.
It started when I cranked it up in the driveway.
Tomorrow will be two days that the dealer has had it. I will call towards the end of the day, if they haven't called me.
I did change out the back up lights to LED's. I would think that changing a couple of lights would not shut the truck down.

 

did you hit the gas and brake at the same time?

 

No....I read about that potential problem, but I never use but one foot. I interested in seeing what the dealer comes up with.

 

Interesting.. 2 days and no word back? It is Sunday though

 

Yeah.....I'm counting Friday and Monday. I plan on knowing something by closing Monday.

 

It would. There’s a thread here somewhere where someone’s Tacoma got messed won’t start up after changing the taillights .

 

Found an someone with the same issues as you OP and the problem. Brake override malfunction. https://www.reddit.com/r/ToyotaTacoma/comments/7o2j0z/issues_with_replacing_tail_lights/ hope this helps. Happened after the guy changed his taillights .

 

No brake stands?
No 2 foot dance when parked on a steep driveway with a vehicle or garage door in front of you?

Plz splain, im very curious.

 

I got an error when I swapped in some LED bulbs, put the stock back and it was fine.

Hopefully your dealership is cheap

 

Mine wasn't the taillights.....it was the backup lights. Also, mine would start and run, but the engine was in the cutback mode. It wouldn't do much more than an idle.

 

Coincidences do happen, but rarely. Things seemed to go downhill after the LED install. Shame spending $$ at a dealership, when replacing those LEDs back to the original bulbs might have solved the problem.

 

Ever since Toyota got a black eye over run away cars they don't allow you to touch both pedals at the same time with out freaking out. I'm sure this is most all newer cars now. Funny thing was it was proven not to be Toyota's fault. But we got 2 years of maintenance and more safety feature because of it.

 

Having the same issue at the dealership right now . My truck was drivable but didn't have brake lights. I had swapped to winjet led tail lights. Limped my way on back roads so i didn't get aahighee chance of getting pulled over. Swapped back to stock and still didn't fix the issue. Well see what Toyota says.

 

Abs killswitch

I can smoke the tires for days and ive had the flash for the gas/brake pedal.

 

Pretty sure this is false. You can still do a brake stand. You just need to be holding the brake before you give it any throttle input.

Throttle first, then brake will shut it down.

 

I also changed my lights to led and got the same light on dash took to dealer they couldn't find anything I swapped the leds back out and that fixed the problem
