Skid Control ECU

Hey Guys,
I have a 2014 Toyota Tundra SR5 5.7L Gas 4 door 2WD TRD.
I hope this question is in the correct spot. If not, sorry about that.

I have two lights that just came on. Just the Brake light and the Traction Control Light. Not the ABS Light.

I got the code 1300. I also jumped the OBD II with a wire and got the Blink Code 62 for ABS and 43 for the traction control light. Could not find out what those ment.

I tried to reset the lights. Nope. They stay on. Brake fluid is full. The emergency Brake has been depressed and released multiple times. The brake light bulbs are all fine. Battery is fine. Wheel Speed Sensors are good. Fuses and relays seem fine. All the wires look good. No hot spots or chew marks. Everything under the hood is clean. Everything under the truck is clean and no wires are dirty or damaged. I see no signs of corrosion or bad grounds. No rust.

There is no noticeable change in how the truck performs and nothing changed prior to the lights coming on in the dash.

According to the online manual I found, and digging around it seems like just the ECU for the Skid Control system is bad.

I don't know where to find this Skid Control ECU. It's not the main ECU it's just for the Skid Control.

I also don't know how to find the part online because when I search for this people are calling it different things and Most of the time the main ECU is popping up in my searches.

Can someone help me out here? Thank you for your time.

 

I have finally found some information on where it is and how to remove it. Apparently people think it's called the ABS Control Module. This is probably because it is connected the the ABS Pump. I'm going to pull it off tonight and give it a good clean and see if that helps before I buy one. I still don't know where to buy one but I might not need to if it's just dirty.

 

Highly unlikely that your ecu failed. You need a better code reader. A health check scan from Techstream being the best option.

If that ecu failed your speedo wouldn’t be working along with alot of other things. It’s referred to as the ABS ecu because it monitors wheels speeds and can control braking/abs. Can do the same for skidding/traction.

I think Toyota officially calls it the skid control ecu but it’s the brains of the ABS system.

I wouldn’t recommend removing it either, it bolted directly to the ABS pump and hardliners. Huge pain in the ass to get back together with no air in them.

 

Yea. I tried to remove it yesterday and that just was not going to happen. Not without removing the ABS pump and I'm not getting into that unless I have to. I will just be driving without ABS for my trip I guess. I'm towing a pretty heavy camper so I will just have to be even more cautious knowing if I have to stop quick I might lock up. I'll look into this health scan from Techstream. Never heard of it before.

Thanks for your suggestion.

 

Find a good code reader. Techstream is the Toyota software and requires a trip to the dealer. Is there a good mechanic shop in your area with a good scanner? Like an Autel or Snapon ect? The cheap code readers really only read generic DTC codes from the engine ecu, you need to read Toyota codes from the ABS ecu.

 

What about the blink codes? I was able to jump the OBDII port using a wire between the 4rth and 13th port. I was able to get the blink pattern from the ABS light and the traction Control Light. Are they more accurate? Can they give me a better indication of the actual issue? If so I have no idea where to find the list of these codes.
