    Hello everone from Greece,
    I have a Tundra 2007 year limited edition and I encountered the following issue:
    I loaded about 550kg (1212 lbs) and not properly placed wright the weight on the bed, it was bags with sand.
    After 50m loaded the indication lights open (following photo).
    Temprature and all was fine, also on the road...
    When i stoped and placed the weight correctly, the indicators sut off
    There is a weight control sensor when the loaded is not correctly loaded?
    Can anyone tell me why this happened?
    Thanks

    I have no clue what or how it may caused those lights to go on. There's no load sensor in a Tundra. I do not think the uneven load is the culprit. I think when you stopped, it just manage to reset itself. There might be an underlying issues that may have caused it and the extra load maybe what triggered it.

    I just got stuck in the mud pulling my camper out of the backyard yesterday. I over revved and all those lights started flashing along with the diff lock minus the check engine. After getting unstuck, shut off the engine all the lights are gone.

    Load was possibly affecting the yaw sensor.
