PCS system problem?

Hey guys

I picked up a 2018 Tacoma about two weeks ago. Love the truck but have a question. Tonight, while driving home the “PCS off” logo lit up on the dash. There was no error message or such that came up on the information center area in middle of dash, just the light. I should add that it was snowing/raining a bit and I had front defogger in as well.

Does the system disable and illuminate that dash light under certain conditions? Or, is there an problem with it?

Thx for the feedback.

 

I also had this same issue and am looking for clarification. Did you figure anything out? Mine also does this with the snow/frost. I mentioned to my sales person and he said it as probably because of the snow and the frost. I was also unable to turn it back on/adjust the sensitivity. The only solution was to shut off the truck and then turn it back on.

 

Guys, there is a big reason we don't have self driving cars yet. It's because of weather. Weather plays havoc with radar, FLIR and LIDAR and all acronyms that end in R lol.
When there is bad weather or snow or fog or heavy rain, you gotta drive it yourself.
The reason you have to stop it and turn it back on is so it can "zero" out it's position and has a reliable start point.
My wife's super duper Highlander does it. My neighbor's Acura does it.
We are at a point in technology where it is "almost" right. When they figure out how to "see" through snow and driving rain then it will be right.

 

Yeah I agree it’s probably the weather. It isn’t occurred again since, but I also haven’t driven in snow since either. I haven’t had a car equipped with this technology before, so wasn’t sure what was going on at first.

 

Wonderful. I'll continue to keep an eye on it. Thanks for the replies folks!
