    Hi,

    Test drove a 2018 Tacoma TRD sport with 8k, on Friday, and I was happy with the drive. Car gru list the price was a good deal and he came down another 500. I have dealt with this business before and it was always a fair deal.

    But after reading the manual online I am confused if there was anything wrong. The auto lsd, PSC and ~off, lights would come on a various times. My memory of the lights are vague because at the time because it was thinking to myself it was maybe normal. Now I am second guessing myself. The PSC light was only on briefly and seems to be no issue. But now I can't remember if auto lsd and ~off, status lights finally was aways off. they did seem to go out. The manual got me thinking.

    I did click the VSA off switch next to the mirror once, think ~off light was a one to one link to the VSA switch and not knowing anything about the auto lsd at the time assumed it was and automatic system that I did not need to worry about.

    Long summary i know, What would a normal set of lights be for road be, auto lsd light on? ~off light off?

    thanks

    EDIT ;
    This post answers a lot.
