    Ok, let's get started. New member (bow). Have had my crewmax 5.7 for a couple years. It's an 08. I am from the UP of Michigan. Ya Ders ehs and youbetchya land. Southern Canada.
    I have an abs issue I think. Replaced the drivers wheel bearing thinking the tone ring was bad. Nope. Replaced the sensor in the hub... well it broke off in spindle now I'm taking out the hub and replacing the sensor yada yada. But in had a shop reset the codes, typical wheel speed sensors are bad so I'm replacing first the one I broke. But I popped the red abs 50 fuse and it doesn't actuate the abs but still a funny noise from the front. I eieve the half shafts are good. Lateral play nut no clicking when turning. Mind you I beat the piss out of this truck but maintain it well. Praying it's not a front diff. But it's not acting like I dropped a tooth or some how have extreme lash issues.
    Lights on the dash
    Abs solid
    4hi fast blink blink
    Vsc slow blink
    Trac solid
    No other lights.
    Replaced wheel bearing
    Replacing wheel speed sensor.
    Please as we all know my gas cap is tight.
    My bearing is brand new
    I just had the abs and the brake control tested and they check out.
    Btw 285s winter force. 150k miles
    It's also seems to not not like heat shields, gas tank straps, brake pad.
    Loves rust, bad mpgs, and expensive parts.

    Welcome. The first thing I would do is have someone read all the computers looking for faults. The good old days of ABS just being a computer looking for a wheel skidding while the brakes are applied are a thing of the past. For example if you have stability control that computer will look for things like if the steering wheel is turned and the differences in wheel speed doesn't match what the computer expects. If you're handy with computers and doing some work yourself you can always try to set up Toyota's TechStream software. With it you can read everything the truck monitors and see all the faults.

    You could have a bad needle bearing in the drivers side of the front differential. Pretty common up to the 3rd gen Tundra's

    ECGS has a bushing bearing that solves this issue.

    Gas cap only throws an EVAP code. Anyway, on a simple note, are the tires all the same pressure? Do they all have the same thread depth? Also, all the lights that are on are most likely just one issue. Sometimes the wire to the ABS sensor goes bad. I know this because my Lexus has the same lights on, and I know it's the wire, because it got damaged changing the wheel bearing. Those wires are touchy, it goes from the sensor and should plug into the wire loom either in the wheel well or just inside the engine bay. I hope it's not that needle bearing issue, but damn if it is.

    (To OP) I had this in my 2010. There is a TSB that explains it. If your truck has this issue it’ll feel like you are driving on rumble strips in 2wd and go away in 4wd. I used the bearing linked and no issues after that.

    Same on my 2012, but mine was pretty bad and didn't go away in 4WD completely.

    Its throwing a c0273 code also prior to the code it says I have 3 bad sensors.
    C0273 says bad connections. Dont know where to start. Already replaced the front right wheel bearing and sensor traced the wires to under the fender wall. Dont think it's the needle bearings as it's not present until it pops the code then all hell brakes lose.

    Updated: trying to limp it home to work on it. Its grinding and the steering oscillates... sounds are coming from the front dif. Pulled 50 and 40 amp fuse... maybe I shojldnt of drove it but towing is so damn expensive.

    So... solved. After 2 bearings 3 abs sensors and a 1000 bucks in parts it's fixed. Toyota can build truck but damn are they funny they break
