Crawl control not working

I bought a new 2020 tacoma trd pro and went to try out the crawl control uphill and its not working only works on flat area when you try uphill it want to engage but the truck doesnt move at all just stays there tried it in all speeds wont work

I know how to use it but its not working
Go in Neutral go to low 4 engage then drive than engage crawl low speed also high all speeds wont move wont engage crawl control even thought its engage

its in the toyota service department anyone knows what the problem is what toyota had to do to fix the problem

 

Are you in 4Low?

 

Is it Friday?

 

Yes it engages but wont go up if its uphill wont work

 

I noticed the exact same thing in my 2020 TRD OR and a second 2020 OR on the test drive. 4Lo and a bit of an incline it would climb until the truck was entirely on the hill (rear wheels a few feet up), then comes to a stop. If I left it attempting to climb, it will shut down the CC system after 20 or so seconds. Both trucks I test drove acted exactly the same. The salesman was surprised when it would not climb the hill that he uses to show off the 4WD system with his customers.

I've tested it a couple of other times since and my truck will not climb like the various review videos out there showing off the CC "feature".

 

Do you know what the problem is

 

This is not good news. I’ll test mine out tomorrow and let you know.

 

just throw that bby in cruise control! forget about the "CC" its gonna collect dust anyways!

JK op!

 

Crawl control is a gimmick, but it's not meant to carry you up a hill while you steer.

I used only on flat and as a downhill assist. Most of the time I used 4Lo with MTS or the Locker.

 

What speed select? You have to be in 2 or above, I think. Try this. I don’t think it will climb at speed setting 1.

Also, foot on brake or accelerator intervenes the crawl control.

and, sorry if it is not working. That sucks.

 

I selected all speeds and took my friend that owns two pro trd one 4runner and a tacoma said it wasn’t normal both a his trd pro work find the one i just bought crawl control when it’s activated wont move the truck just stays in place

 

It does work in flat areas, though? Weird. Take it in.

 

Its in the service department its suppose to work uphill its in the book and my friends trds do work uphill we tried it mine doesn't I am just frustrated brand new truck that i just bought with 3 miles and crawl doesnt work i was just hoping someone knew why that has experience with crawl control that knew what is the issue will find out i guess in a couple days from toyota thanks

 

I haven't pursued it. I've only tested on the test drive in Oct and a couple of times since. I've wheeled for long enough without CC to not be too bothered by it not working, but it should function as advertised.

I've tried all speed setting, no brakes, no accelerator, just set it and let the truck do its thing. It travels across flat ground, starts up the hill, slows to a stop and sits there until CC cancels. Even after it cancels, it'll just sit there as the hills I've tried it on aren't steep enough to roll back down.

I haven't checked any longer descents, but it seems like it works for that.

 

If you have the same problem you should take in before you have to pay out of packet for repairs crawl control works on mine but not uphill it just sits and doesn’t respond will lost what toyota service department finds

 

He said he took it in. Last thing from me, is you have to make sure 4 lo engages first, or CC won’t. The CC graphic will pop up when it is engaged.

Sounds like the OP did everything in correct order, which is important, but have to make sure 4-lo engages, then brake, then D or R, then push CC button, graphic or info will come up, then if it works, it sounds like it’s broken.

 

Thanks everything comes on crawl activates bar comes on than we choose speed low all speeds and it wont run will let tou know what they say hopefully tomorrow thanks

 

Nope. Got me out when I was stuck in a rut in a steep hill climb. Thought I was going to have to get winched out, but worked like magic.

 

I tested mine for goofs, uphill. Worked fine

 

This is what I was thinking too. Getting in 4 low takes sec and space, even more if you're on a steep incline/decline.
OP, try turning on CC before approaching incline/decline, and see if it works?
