2007 Tacoma problem.. Please help

Hey everyone. My name is Denise. I just purchased a 2007 off-road TRD. It has been lifted a bit. I have a problem and am hoping someone can help. I had the truck out today and the steering wheel started to shake, and the truck slowed on its own and when I tried to apply brakes it almost threw me they were so sensitive. When got back to the house was in the drive and my rear wheels started to spin. Smelled rubber baaaad. Noticed the ABS light stays on for a looong time and switches off when your way down the road. The 4x4 light is on as well. Any suggestions?

 

Is 4wd on??

 

Her description says 2wd.

 

I'm just learning about this truck. It doesn't have the knob it has the rear differential button and it is depressed not on.

 

Well she said the light was on lol

 

Did you buy this from a dealer

 

Explain more please?

 

The light is on that's what I can't understand. It's not a 4 wd. No I bought from my credit union unfortunately

 

Show us a picture of the light

 

I was trying to move it forward after I stopped and it spun shouldn't have. It was like the front wheels were locking

 

The red light with the chassis?

 

If the red light is illuminated on the dash like the one in the lower corner of the picture, then your locker is engaged.

 

I'm trying

 

So what's that mean? And will it cause this to happen?

 

Exactly what he said..

 

Is it supposed to be engaged? Is there a way to disengage it?

 

No, should just be a button

 

Okay guys thanks for the help.

 

It appears like your locker may be engaged. Have you tried the reverse steps of engaging the locker? Sometimes the locker will remain engaged even after it is turned off. You may even want to re-engage it, then disengage it to verify it worked. The locker makes both back wheels turn at the same speed and may be causing some of the issues you have been experiencing.

 

I have a 4x4 so it might be different. Here is what I found in the manual:
