2013 Tacoma acting strange

I was coming home today and on my road I was going around a turn to the left about 40mph and my 2013 DC BAJA with 5800 miles on it made a pinging noise and kinda stumbled (like when ABS kicks in on a hard brake or sliding). I wasn't braking or sliding tho and it was a dry road. I tried it going into a right hand turn and I couldn't get it to do it but could duplicate it going left several times. It didn't do it under 30mph. I did notice one time it happened that my skidding light on the dash was blinking when it happened. Any ideas?? Thanks ahead of time!

 

Traction control engagement

 

It's your VSC kicking on. Probably just need the dealer to recalibrate it.

 

Do you have a lift or larger than stock tires OP ?

 

He's got the Baja, comes with a small front lift.

 

Yes , I know

 

I know you know that I know that you know. Or something. Was just pointing it out. Wouldn't seem that crazy for a Baja to have the VSC issues like us after market lift guys do.

 

My truck did it at stock height

 

Mine has only gone off twice for a split second each time and it was after my lift. I've been pretty lucky (knock on wood).

 

No lift. Just the little Baja lift. Ive gone thru that turn 1000 times and never did it until today. So it could possibly need recalibration? Thanks guys!

 

Here's one of many threads with some info on it. If you google "tacomaworld vsc issues" you'll find more.

It's somewhat common, mainly among lifted trucks though.

 

I hope that's all it is. Kind of freaked me out.

 

It can be quite startling when it happens

 

Thanks Brad and Oz-T

 

I think what confused me a little was that it did it to the left but not to the right. Didn't make sense.
