    Has anyone had this problem? I installed a 3" lift on my 2010 tacoma and put new tires on it and got it aligned and also installed the 3" differential drop. Now when I go around corners somewhat fast the ABS starts kicking on. I don't like the ABS in the snow and mud anyways so was planning to put a toggle on it but now i feel like I should just turn it off full time. Anybody else experience this? :mad:

    Disconnect battery for 10 minutes, drive around 10 miles, if it's still on disconnect for 10 more minutes and repeat until it's off.

    It's not ABS it's VSC / Traction control

    Same procedure, after installing lifts 3 times the ABS/TRAC/VSC lights all illuminate and I disconnect the battery and it usually solves the problem.

    But yes going around a corner quickly with a lift makes the VSC kick in

    It's called a zero point cal and it should fix your issues ...I don't think we charge to do it at the dealer

    Thanks guys, I thought I was going crazy. Not trying to drift around corners or anything crazy. I live in the mountains and bought this truck a little over a year ago and have been driving it up and down the mountain for that time with no issues. I really don't like the ABS in the snow though it is for people that don't know how to drive in the snow haha. Anyways put the lift on this last weekend I will get around doing a write up on it because I scoured this site for what I wanted to do to my truck. But today when I went down the mountain for the first time with the new lift either the VSC kicked in or the ABS going my normal rate of speed I always do. Felt like the tire was rubbing somethin bad. But I stopped and got out and there was no rubbing at all. So I started to test it and I finally heard the beeping sound in the cab.

    I will try disconnecting the battery first. If that doesn't work I will take it to the dealership for the zero point calibration you say Tim Allan?

    That's what it's called, I would print the PDF file out, sometimes the dealer likes to play dumb.
