Hey guys. I am pretty new to the Tundra and brand new to the forum. After searching the forum with no real results, I thought I had better ask you guys direct. So here it is. After getting tired of seeing my dodge's hood up, I decided to trade it in for a new Tundra. I've been extremely pleased but can't leave things alone, and didn't like the trucks stance or the rocks dragging my running boards, so I bought a leveling it. I put it on last week, but when I started it to go to the alignment shop, I had a couple of warning lights on the dash... 4HI is flashing, ABS is solid and the traction control on is on solid. The best that I could figure is one of the wheel sensors got pulled loose, so I pulled them both off, cleaned them and put them back on, but to no avail. I also tried resetting the computer with no results. One thing that seems wierd to me is that the truck will go in and out of 4HI if I switch to or from 4HI with the truck off and then turn the truck on, but the light will still flash. Anyways, before I dig too deep I am hoping that one of you will know exactly what all this means. Thanks in advance.

I say get the codes read see what it says wrong first. Most advance auto stores do this for free, then again it maybe a easy plug scanner in and clear the error codes cause they don't auto reset.
Thanks for the input guys.. I decided to do a little leg work this morning, so i disconnected the wheel sensor wire at the sensor and top of the fender well and tested for continuity. The passenger side didn't have any.. Once I found the broken spot and spliced the wire back together it is all better. However, I'm left with a question.. The TSB from earlier in the post says up to 2009 Tundras need recalibration after alignment, does my 2010?
Depends on how good your alignment is. I had my done (for free) and turns out it didn't need any adjusting. The key is to disconnect the ground cable from your battery for about a minute, which I believe is the first step in the zero point calibration anyway.
Can you explain?
Why would you need to do a zero pt calibration when doing an alignment (and this is for the VSC, correct?)

Very common problem depending on your lift. Symptoms are nuisance VSC activation on freeway off-ramps. Most commonly seen with 3-4" and higher lifts. Smaller lifts don't seem to have as much of a problem. Zero-point calibration is often (but not always) effective at solving the problem.
Somewhere on here is a thread where a member modded the sensor underneath the center console. This is the only sure fix for the nuisance VSC with a bigger lift.

Oh, i didn't know you were talking about getting the zero point done after a lift (in specifically the alignment directly after a lit).
Mine didn't need it... and I'm hoping that I don't need it after 35s are installed tomorrow!
