ABS light comes on in a "S" turn.....

Just curious if anybody has had any issues with the abs light and breaks engaging in a small turn situation. Just noticed but can be repeated as long as you turn sharound back to back in different turns. Took it to Toyota and they said they say no problem. The truck starts to auto break and it will definitely mess with you if you weren't expecting it. Any ideas???

 

You lifted your truck some since you are running a different wheel / tire combo just looking at your mods.

What you are hearing is the VSC activating and doing it's job. You have changed the geometry of your truck but your truck doesn't know that so it is compensating during those turns. Your truck "thinks" it is about to lose control even if you don't think it is and the VSC kicks in.

 

So their is nothing that can be done?

 

VSC / Traction Control engagement

You need to get the VSC system recalibrated , there is a pdf file in the first post of this thread detailing the procedure

The Toyota dealer should have told you that when you took it in. Although they are correct when they told you nothing is wrong with the truck (if it sat in it's stock form).

I believe it can be recalibrated but someone with more experience will have to chime in. Mine isn't lifted and although I'm running stock size MT tires I've not had that problem. Many have though and there are many threads on it. Use the search at the top and it should take you to those threads.


*EDIT* OZ beat me to the punch.

 

Thanks man.
We will see what I can do now that I have the info.

 

Alignment first , then zero point recalibration
