VSC Got Me! (I think...)

Abs killswitch mod. Completely shuts it off using an on/off switch... it tricks the ecu into thinking the locker is engaged.. which.. when the locker is actually engaged.. turns off all that stuff since you're clearly "off-road"

 

What if you don't have an elocker, i.e., no TRD OR pkg?

 

My bad

 

ABS kill mod

 

There are a couple ways to do it

 

I'll try a search - thanks.

Landphil method

Bingo

 

I suppose I could let this one slide.. next time tho. Next time.

 

Before anyone does this they should read Landphil's disclaimer. I'll summarize it:
You'll turn your Tacoma into a cobbled up pos and you can kiss your new truck warranty goodbye. But...it just might keep you alive.

 

I'll monitor my behaviour

 

If the truck is new, it probably isn't lifted. Has VSC been systemically throwing people in completely stock trucks into the other lane?

 

Suppose I hit a monster chug hole in a rainstorm in my unlifted truck, knocking extra toe-out in the right front and VSC comes on, steering me into on-coming!

 

This sums VSC up perfectly. The only way to completely turn it off is the switch mod and I find landphil was the best method as it cuts off the signal like 4WD LOW does and can be turned back on with just a flip of the switch. No turning off/on your truck to cycle your ecu.

 

I'm not sure I understand, what is triggering the VSC in this scenario? Are you saying the pothole messes up the alignment, causing more toe-out, and VSC is sensitive to alignment?

 

Or for the OP, Bensonx's. Worked flawlessly on my '12.

Ha! I've been away for a day and a half...didn't expect this thread to still be alive.

 

Thanks...that's a clean install.
