    New member here. Just picked up a 2017 Tacoma Off Road. Noticed the Roll sensor favors one side and, while I know this thing isn't exact, I was wondering if there is a way to reset or calibrate this. Basically it will be more sensitive to the passenger side being in a low spot than the driver's side, like zero point is off a couple degrees

    Are you taking in account that most roads that you drive on are crowned so that water will drain off.

    Yes, our parking lot is on a downhill slope and the sensor will read a slight roll with the truck passenger side downhill and blink normal to slight roll with the driver side downhill. I know this is minor but figured I would ask.

    Weird. You'd think the opposite would be true due to the taco lean.

    Too many to list. See build page. Link in signature
    Park in a spot the shows slight passenger roll, then back into that exact spot and it should indicated slight driver roll. Just to test your theory
