AEB system light came on

This morning on my way to work my AEB light came on and then a few minutes later it kicked off. Anybody have this happen to them? It's the only time I've seen it but i bought the truck used a couple weeks ago.

 

That’s probably why. Did you check the VIN history for incidents and damage?

 

Send a pic too because it could also be an issue with the Toyota safety sense

 

AEB?
Do you mean ABS or EBA?

 

Were you driving into the bright sun? Once in a while mine will do that and clear itself shortly after.

 

Carfax had a minor report but I believe it was in the rear. Tailgate I would guess

 

AEB automatic emergency braking

 

No, sun hadn’t come up just yet. It was freezing out and we had a ton of rain last couple days... maybe ice?

 

I started wondering if it had something to do with weather. Had lot of rain yesterday then freezing temps last night.

 

Yup, ice or slush will cause the light too. If your Toyota badge in the grill is covered it will trigger it. Had that happen a bunch of times.

 

How close were you following another car?

 

That’s probably it. The garnish that protects the sensor freeze over at times. Are you running an aftermarket grille or is it still OEM?

 

No car around at all.
