Intermediate steering shaft help

Hi all I need some help I replace the intermediate steering shaft on my 2nd gen a 2012 Tacoma V6,pretty much fallowed couple YouTube videos after I got the shaft on I went to test drive, it drove ok going under 13MPH then as i sped up and tried to go over 13mph the slip inductor light comes on and it makes a grinding noise and truck loses power truck just won't go any faster than 15mph ,i looked things over adjusted the shaft a couple times with no luck, then i took the new intermediate steering shaft off and put the old one back on but still have that vs light come on ,I did notice that my steering wheel was a little off I adjust shaft and straightened the steering wheel but still have the issue ,its just that one light that comes on , has anyone else had this happen to ,what was your fix or any help would be appreciated thanks

 

Did you make sure that the steering wheel didn't move while you had the shaft out?
Is the steering wheel straight when driving straight?

 

I tried to keep it straight I tied a bungee cord but I'm know it did move some ,after installation the steering wheel was off,I check the wheels were straight but the steering wheel was at the 11oclock ,I adjusted the shaft and straightened the steering wheel but no luck ,i forgot to mention the vs light will go off when speed goes back under 14mph and will go on if I try to go over 14mph

 

That is your VSC kicking in likely due to the steering being off slightly, if your steering is straight when driving straight you need to re-calibrate your VSC.
If it is not straight it would be best to get an alignment and the re-calibrate it.

When I jacked both wheels up ,the old shaft came off the steering did wheel move some ,so I hope that's all I need to do is the calibration, thank you for your help and the link

 

That would be my suspicion, the VSC uses steering angle and acelerometers to determine if the vehicle is traveling in the direction the driver intends, if it determines it is not it applies individual brakes and reduces engine power to attempt to correct it.
Any deviation of steering angle from where it thinks it should be for the direction of travel will cause unwanted VSC activation.

 

The recommendation worked, before doing the calibration, i reinstalled the new intermediate steering shaft then straightened the wheel and steering wheel then did the re-calibration now I can drive
Thanks...
