Crawl Control shuts off by itself

Hi, my name's Andy. I posted this question over in the "New Members" thread but I think, I should have posted the question part here:

I just bought my 4th Tacoma last Wed. Had a couple used 1st gens in the 90's and 00's then bought my first new vehicle, an 09 single cab. Just traded that 09 in for a 2020 Double Cab Short Bed Off Road. Holy crap this is a nice rig! Been out on my local trails playing with the different modes. The MTS is awesome.

I do have a question for you folks, though. I don't think I like the crawl control but I can see that it might be cool in some limited situations. Mine shuts off by itself. Is this normal? I have a 1/2 mile steep descent - loose rock, a little mud, not too difficult but pretty steep in places. It will shut off after a few minutes climbing. It will almost make it all the way down before it shuts off (12 minutes or so).

Just wondering if I need to have it looked at?

Thanks,

Andy

 

Known issue on some 2020's, see thread below:

Actually, I take that back. You say 12 minutes. If could be overheating the hydraulic system being on that long. Any lights come on?

 

Are u adding any inputs? Brake or throttle?

 

This happens to me on my 2020 off-road. It has only happened on one specific trail, but it happened twice on that trail. Both times it was in the same spot (within 5-10 feet).

 

That thread sounds like my issue. The 12 minutes was descending. 3 minutes going up hill - seemed to be in the steepest sections but not always. No lights. No brake or throttle. I saw in the manual about overheating the brakes on the way down or the tranny going up, but no lights/warnings. Guess I'll take it in just so it's documented and hope for a recall/fix. Thanks for the info!

 

IIRC the system only goes for so long and turns off. Should be stated in the owners manual.

 

I highly recommend filing a formal complaint with Toyota corporate as the dealers have no fix.
