    Greetings,

    I have a 2021 TRD Sport which has Eibach pro-truck struts with stock springs installed up front and an add-a-leaf and matching Eibachs out back. I did the work myself.

    Everything was great so I headed over to the alignment shop. When I got back in it the whole dash was lit up with warnings, specifically ABS, PCS, and VSC.

    Firestone, the alignments shop, says they can't fix it because they don't have the appropriate software for the 2021.

    The Dealership says they'll look but stated if it's because of someone else's work they won't cover it.

    I'm fairly sure a Zero Point Calibration is what I need, but I can't figure out how to do it without getting the dealer to do it.

    So, anybody figured out how to do this on a 2020/2021 without techstream?

    Before anyone suggests the jumper between ports on the OBD2 port... Thanks, but it don't work on 2020+, they rearranged the pins and those two are not available. I promise. It doesn't work.

    Alternatively, anyone in Richmond or the central Virginia area with techstream that can help me out?

    Many thanks in advance

    I had to have my steering angle sensor calibrated/set after my lift and it took care of those lights.

    I assume that's one of the things that gets calibrated during a zero point calibration. IT suuuuucks that Toyota removed the ability to do it through the OBD port with a jumper.

    It was only $100 at the dealership and has been great since.

    I took off an air dam once
    i had the same thing on my '16 happen at firestone, mind you this was last year. I called BS on it and went back (my fiance took it in while i was in work) and they magically "changed it to different settings" and cleared the code. Fairly sure they were BSing my fiance but it is what is. In your case in may be more true cause its a '21(?), but i'd maybe try a different firestone location if its an option?

    I called Firestone back and was told by a different store manager that they should have never done the alignment because they don't have the capability to reset the sensors on newer vehicles with the sensors my 2021 has on it. So, they're refunding what I paid for the alignment and telling me sorry...
    I've ordered a Tactrix Openport 2.0 with the refund from the alignment and will attempt a Zero Point Calibration myself.
    My backup is an appointment at the dealership next week where I'm sure they'll tell me it's my fault and charge me an hour of labor for 7.5 minutes of work.
