    Had a flat. Lost a little traction in a curve while tire was low not flat by any means. The truck alarmed with traction light coming , braked hard-on it's own put me in left lane in a small curve. So i put new tires on and now if you go into a turn to the right it does same as it did when tire was low. It's almost wrecked me several times. It's at dealership now and they can't find any issue with it. Any suggestions ???

    Maybe needs a recalibration. Does the truck have a lift or is it stock?

    No lift it is stock. It's at dealership now. They can't find any problem with it. They're only driving it thru the parking lot I'm sure. You have to take a turn to the right at least 35-40 mph for it to do it

    Before it had a flat you could take almost any curve at almost any speed and my truck would hang just great. Now it's got alarms skid lights pulls you in left lane and brakes hard

    My 2009 had that problem too. I recalabrated the VSC myself. Theres a thread on here somewhere. Found it https://www.tacomaworld.com/threads/lift-with-vsc-answer.41215/ Go to the part towards the bottom that talks about using the sst wire. You can use anywire just strip both ends and jump the 2 pins on the OBD port. Its part 5 in the PDF file.
