My truck doesn't have the brake override?

2011 base 4 cylinder 5 speed. Was curious about the brake override software that seems to be the source of many complaints on here. I could not get my gas to cut out no matter what I did with the brake. It will rev up and drive or so whatever I want while I'm holding the brake down. I pushed it down pretty good some times that the truck started to bog down against the brakes but I could just give it more gas and push through it. Does my truck not have this software or does it only come on In certain circumstances? I was doing less than 40mph the whole time.

 

maybe its only on the newer trucks im guessing 2014 maybe 2013?

 

I think there may be a reflash of your ecru or something

 

The brake override feature is designed to be unobtrusive in normal driving conditions. It is designed to manage vehicle acceleration caused by interference with the accelerator pedal and is otherwise undetectable under normal driving conditions.

Using the accelerator pedal position sensors, brake light switch circuitry, and the vehicle speed sensors, this intuitive and intelligent extra measure of confidence helps ensure that vehicles can be controlled in the event that the accelerator pedal is trapped.

When the vehicle throttle is opened beyond the idle position, at speeds greater than five miles per hour and then the brakes are firmly applied for longer than one-half second, the override feature will reduce engine output to the idle position, allowing greater braking performance. If the brake pedal is then released and the engine speed does not return to normal operation, the vehicle should be brought to a stop with brake override, the engine shut off and the vehicle evaluated by a Toyota dealer.

The feature has sophisticated control logic intended to eliminate undesirable or inappropriate activation and is designed to be imperceptible. In certain driving conditions, unnecessary activation of brake override would create an inconvenient or even unsafe situation.

For example, the brake override feature does not operate if the brake pedal is depressed before the accelerator pedal. This logic allows for vehicles starting on a steep a hill to safely accelerate without rolling backwards, otherwise known as a hill start.

Toyota engineers have carefully calibrated the system control logic to prevent the system from interfering with efforts to free a vehicle by rocking it to gain traction in snow or mud. Since some drivers prefer to brake with the left foot, the system also recognizes this as an intentional action by the driver and will allow the accelerator to function normally.

 

Good post. Sounds like the control logic is more complex than they allude to. Based on their description it should have come on but I think there's more to it and I probably wasn't in the normal limits somehow.

Press the brake with the throttle depressed and it should cut out down to idle. Press the brake first, you'll have all the throttle you want. Wait, no, you'll only have as much throttle as the four hampsters want.
