    stability warning, brake warning, ABS, lights on and rear differential lock indicator flashing. I hit a pot hole (Houston) and lights came on and truck starting running like crap. The running like crap part is repaired (bad ignition coil). What is going on with all these lights? Is it possibly a defective ABS sensor?

    Did you see if the diff lock switch accidentally got depressed?
    Have you checked the brake fluid level?

    Beyond that you need to see what code(s) are in the ABS module.

    Well that helped, one of the lights I did have the differential lock switch activated, and that light went off. But the other three lights are on and brake fluid as good.

    Next step is to see what code(s) you have in the ABS.

    Well I feel a little mentally restrained. Diff lock was depressed. (now corrected), bought a $65 OBDii with ABS capability pulled ABS code C0278, did research checked my fuse box and ABS fuses...found that sometime in the past I put my 30amp ABS No. 2 fuse in the wrong spot (blank hole) I have now corrected the dumbass mistake and all my issues have gone away including the violent shake when braking. Thank you to all that had suggestions and TacomaWorld
