Tips and Tricks on the 3rd Gen Tacoma

Ok so I read somewhere on here that driving in "S6" mode proved to be a better shifting mode. Has anyone confirmed this? Sometimes I feel like it helps and other times I don't feel a damn bit of difference. I mean does it actually have different shift points over regular "drive" mode? Can anyone shed some light on this?

 

Haha. Braille parking- I love it.


I watched videos and the super bumpers can take a hell of a hit.

 

S-mode is preprogrammed and doesn't used learned patterns like regular drive mode does. With that said, the tsb 58-12 or whatever it is has made my taco finally drive like it should.

That is what I was looking for! I hate the "learning" crap about the transmission. Makes sense, thank you @drwx

 

were do you find this

 

Find what? If you're asking, where to I find the setting to change it from 3 to 5 or 7? You don't, it's done at the dealership.

 

oh I thought you can change it your self thx anyways

 

You can if you have techstream or I think it can be done with carista also.

 

ok cool thx

 

Or you can use Carista to change it.

 

You have several options here.

2. Do what @JaCado said and trade it in on a 16' or 17'
3. Turn the sensitivity all the way down
4. Don't drive like an asshole!

 

So I notice that if there is a problem with the TSS sensor, like it is blocked by bug guts for example, the cruise won't work. Is there a way to use the cruise without using the TSS?

 

Pretty sure you can adjust the sensitivity on it at least.

Hold the cruise button for 3 seconds. Then you'll have regular cruise, no adaptive.

 

Lol, it's really not that hard...

 

I am coming to you for all my Google needs now!

 

Oh I'm sorry...I thought this was a forum where I could ask these types of questions. My apologies for inconveniencing you.

 

Awesome, thanks!
