PCS Error with Lightbar and Bumper (Dealer's Recommendation

Hi y'all,

Long time follower, first time posting . I finally, joined the taco family after upgrading from my 82' Pickup to an 18' Taco OR .

I installed a SSO Slimeline offroad bumper with a Baja Designs 30in light bar and I am getting VSC+PCS errors when i put the truck into CRAWL control. I took the truck to the dealer (socal) and they recommended I remove the light bar and bumper. The tech said that the light bar and bumper are too close to the PCS and sensors.

Has anyone had similar issues with a similar setup? If so, how'd you resolve the issue.

Side note: the tech also recommended i reach out to Tacomaworld!



Also, in case you're wondering about my 82', she's still running!

 

Don't have any advice, but want to say that '82 is beautiful

 

Thanks man!

 

You’re the first I’ve heard having this issue with the stock grill. The bumper hoop is well below the sensor (it’s behind the toyota emblem) so I can’t see it blocking anything. I’d call BS and maybe take it to another dealer, just be aware they may say the same when they see aftermarket parts.

 

I have the same bumper with the Pro grill so the sensor is even lower than yours... I've not had any issues at all.

Edit: It's possible I misread your post.

 

i wouldn’t imagine the radar cruise sensor has anything to do with crawl control, since it only engages above like 28mph anyway

I’d be curious of code number and description - i think some of the forum guys have the tech manual

 

UPDATE: I disconnected the lightbar from the battery and toggle switch from the 7.5A ignition fuse and everything appears to be working fine.

I suspect that the issue is related to my add-a-fuse splice for the toggle switch.

 

Weird. Well, always nice to have an easy fix

 

Did you ever hook your light bar back up. I have a 19 with oem pro grill, and today i put on a KC 2 row light bar and my PCS light is on. The bar is close to the grill sensor so I think I’ll lower it down a bit and maybe that will do the trick.

 

I ended up connecting the light bar without tapping into the fuse box.

 

Always liked that body style.
