ABS break system

Is anybody else tired of their breaks locking up when driving mountain roads or sharp turns? Whatever the purpose of that feature is, it has gotten me close to more wrecks than saving me. Im also fed up with turning the traction control off and the truck still slowing me down and using the breaks. there is a reason I want it off, why is it still engaging? any thoughts or solutions to this are greatly appreciated

 

The computer automatically turns it back on at speeds of 30 to 35 mph.

Edit... no solutions at this time exist.

 

Why are your brakes locking up?

 

driving the mountains today, highway road not dirt. twice my breaks slowed me down 15-20 mph going around curves. thew breaks engaged on their own. what is telling the computer to engage the break system

 

Traction control

 

Sounds like a problem with the truck. My truck doesnt randomly brake

 

JaCado - you said it traction control turns back on after 30-35mph so what's the point of turning it off to prevent it from engaging if its going to just come back on when it wants to

 

It's a Toyota saftey thing. I didn't make it or design it. I just know what it does. Yours may be a tad sensitive or you are just entering corners to fast.

 

I pulled my hand-brake the other day to see if id still feel my little rear brake vibration. Just a tad and the rear locked up and went sideways... i felt like a schmuck, smelled like burnt rubber..scared the lady in front of me a the light. Lol never do that again.

 

You have to hold the traction control button down for a few seconds to turn it completely off.

 

And it will reactivate once you are at 30 -35 mph

 

It’s the Pre-Collision System, part of the TSS package. You can turn it of or lower sensitivity in the multi function display settings.

 

It would if you tried to slide it sideways lol.
