2022 Tacoma Won’t Start — “Brake Override” & “Drive-Start Control” Malfunctions

Need some insight. I’m stuck right now and waiting on a tow to the dealership (they’re closed today), but here’s the full situation in case anyone has seen this before


2022 Toyota Tacoma


I accidentally shifted into drive too early — before the truck fully finished starting. It gave me a weird jolt and then immediately threw multiple warnings:

• Brake Override Malfunction
• Drive-Start Control Malfunction
• Low Oil Pressure(All while the ignition is ON)

Now the truck won’t turn over at all.



What I’ve tried (no luck):



• Checked and replaced related fuses (under-hood)

• Disconnected battery for 10+ min, drained power via headlight switch

• Gas pedal reset procedure

• Start button 20-second hold trick

• Tried jump-starting (battery is fine though)

• Verified brake lights still work


I think I confused the ECU by shifting too early before the system was fully ready. It may be locked in a protection mode I can’t clear without a scan tool.

I guess I’ll follow up after truck gets seen by the dealership.
