    Well gents and assholes, as some of you know, and others probably assume; we're finally getting the fuck out here!
    Unfortunately (for you), the TW community up there isn't as strong yet, so I'll probably still poke in here from time to time.

    The grass certainly is greener.

    Best friends trip got canceled due to covid bullshit. So, we took off in my truck for a 4 day camping trip. No hard core wheeling, but some interesting spots. Steep, and narrow. Mostly just bumpy. But my ABS and traction lights came on. This has happened twice before. Each time it was a severed wire at the wheel sensor. Getting tried of this crap. I haven't checked it out other than lay under the truck after it happened. Didn't see any trouble. One time the outer coating was intact, but wire was broken inside. Figure it's probably the same. Question: The DAC didn't work on the way out of trail. Is that effected when the sensor goes out?

    Also, the KEY warning light came on, as well.

    It would go out when I inserted the key and started the engine. But it would immediately come back on once I took the key out. Damn thing.

    My truck does the key light thing as well, it has since I got it.

    I thought I read that light was a security light that only turns off when a key with the programmed chip is entered into the ignition.. something about the truck won’t start if it’s on?

    It's key security Don. It's normal... You probably just never really paid it mind. Mine does it on my Tundra if the key isn't in the ignition. That light is the reason my Tacoma went dead on a deployment. It is constantly sensing for the chip.

    That's possible. I looked in the manual that night when I noticed it. Something about the chip in the key being in the truck for an extended period. Something like that.
