    talked to my buddy who works at toyota, the sensor causing the issue is not the wheel sensor its the yaw sensor (Designed to prevent fishtailing). With the suspension lifted up the yaw of the vehicle will change with difrerent steering geometry and different vehicle center of gravity caused by a lift or larger tires. Hopefully the recalibration will get rid of it but according to him it probably wont because he has done the calibration on a truck and the guy is still having issues. With a tall soft suspension the yaw is going to be more severe than stock and calibration may not correct this because the vehicle is stationary and there is no way to anticipate the yaw. My buddy, the toyota tech, told me that when the LSD is turned on the yaw sensor is turned off but the TRAC will still kick in if you lose traction and one tire turns faster than the others.

    Yep, still having the problem after the calibration. Good info Yoy. I am afraid this is something I am going to have to live with. From other threads I have read I have not seen a remedy. Stupid technology!

    Just try hitting the TRAC button (car with streaks) ??Gixxer73?? is able to disable it by either pressing the button or press and hold it before you move anytime you start the truck.

    I'll try again, but before the calibration I was still having the problem with trac off (only up to 35 mph) and VSC off.
