NW WA Meet / BS Thread

I need a longer bar on my saw. Can barely cut off the tip of my dick with this 18".

 

Whelp. 'Check Engine' and 'Trac Off' lights popped on this morning. No symptoms while driving.

Plan on checking the gas cap and disconnecting the battery for a few minutes after work. Will head to Autozone to check codes if it's still there. Only thing done recently was an oil change on Sat.

Any 3rd gen'rs been through this already? Possibly a loose connection? I'm past my initial warranty.

 

Who knows of a decent guide to disable the TPMS?

I went with this and it worked great not that hard to do

 

Have the codes scanned before you disconnect the battery. If it's an EVAP code, probably the gas cap. Looks like you got gas recently.

 

Same shit happened to me couple of weeks ago, i try the gas cap, disconnecting the battery and nothing. took the truck out for a test drive and it went into a limp mode. i was like WTF man! Took it to the dealership and they said that it was the secondary air valve that went bad. They fix it all for free cuz of warranty on those or some shit...

 

Lol. It’s a google image. But, I did get gas this weekend. Thanks for the heads up on the battery. I’ll try the gas cap and then head over to get the codes checked.

You know if yours happened to fall within the CA emissions warranty (seven years / 70K)?

 

I was going to ask where you were that was 71 degrees. It isn't even that warm in my office!

 

Lol. Was wondering who would notice that first. : D

 

I had same thing on a second gen tacoma and it turned out to be maf flow sensor had a bad connection somehow became unplugged

 

My suspicion is either gas cap, or maybe a sensor or wire was knocked loose during the oil change.

 

Could by handy for you in the future. You can get a ODBII bluetooth adapter on Amazon and then install Torque or something like that on your phone to quickly pull your codes.

I also use it to monitor air intake temp, trans temp, coolant temp, and then it has a speedometer calibrated for oversized tires.

 

not sure man! as long as yours isn't in a limp mode, u should be gooood!
I forgot to mention that mine is a second gen 2012

 

Fingers crossed. Hopefully I’ll have an answer here in an hour or two.

 

Ours just did this- Check Engine light and Trac light.

Check engine light came on a couple weeks ago and then went off- I figured it was the gas cap. Today when she left work while the truck was still cold she stepped on it and it died down and went into limp mode. She pulled to the side of the road and then slowly made it to a parking lot. I went and looked for anything obvious but did not see anything- also tried to loosen and retighten the gas cap. I jumped in the truck and it started normal and drove normal but the check engine light and trac off light are still on. Truck is a 2012 Access, off road, has 82,000 kilometres- 51,163 miles.

 

Came out after work: Gas cap was loose, and that’s the code that popped up. Cap tightened up properly. Should go away in 24hrs? If not, I’ll need to get it reset?

 

If that was it, it'll go away in a few drive cycles.

 

sounds like the secondary air pump... see if it throws p2440 code

 

Hoping that’s the case. Just filled up and they’re still on.
