    Driving home in my 2008 tundra, I noticed my vsc light was flashing, my 4hi and 4low lights were flashing, my abs light was flashing, and my traction control light was on…I pulled over right away. I turned the truck off and on again, and all the lights disappeared besides my ABS light. That light stayed on for about 3 more tries of turning it on and off again. Until I drove it to the shop and then the abs light disappeared. I hooked up a cheap code reader and saw no codes. I believe my reader only checks engine codes tho. I’ve noticed lately that when I’m driving at slow speeds and apply the braking as I’m hitting a small bump…I feel like a rattle or vibration. Only when I hit a bump just right as I’m breaking. So I’m wondering if that could be linked to what I noticed today with the lights and ABS light coming on?? Anyone heard of this before??

    My guess is a wheel speed/abs sensor going bad or in need of cleaning. It sounds like it's kicking your abs system on randomly. Sorry to be a grammar Nazi but it's brake or braking.

    Sorry I was typing this post fast and trying to get replies right away. Kinda stressed about it. It’s given me a lot of problems since I got it.

    All good :cool:
    Probably need to get with someone that has a scan tool that will read abs codes.
    I know when I had similar trouble with a 2001 Silverado abs module kicking in randomly, I pulled the abs fuse and braking worked fine I just didn't have anti lock brakes and the abs light stayed on.

    Yeah that’s what I kinda want to do. I’ve never liked ABS anyway with any car I drive. If it’s safe to drive without it, I’d honestly be fine to drive without it.
