Wasnt sure which sub forum to put this in?
my prado hasnt given me a days trouble, all the systems mentioned below have worked flawlessly everytime.
I recently changed the front wheel bearings on my 2003 prado 120 kzj manual, the job itself went smoothly and all genuine toyota parts used (bearings, seals). After assembly and first drive on a straight tar road the tcs light started flashing and the abs kicks in so the car cant really get out of 2nd gear although if I push the clutch in it rolls freely without any interference from the tcs.
what I have tried so far
1. removed front abs sensors and checked them (looks fine)
2. removed front abs cables to check for breaks and tested continuity (working)
3. unplugged one of the front abs sensors and switched the ignition on, which causes the abs/vcs/handbrake dash lights to come on, if I drive the car now its fine just no abs and the dash lights but it drives perfectly.
4. took it to toyota who after having the car for a couple of hours told me its the center diff actuator (rubbish), after hearing that just went to fetch the car again, then yesterday I activated the center diff just to test which locked the center diff BUT when I disenaged it the center diff light is now flashing!
5. reset the dtcs by bridging 13,4 connectors on the obd plug, ignition on, and pressing the brake pedal 8 times (worked and abs/tcs/handbrake lights off but back to tcs issue).
6. tried to do the zero point calibration which says it worked but made no difference to the tcs kicking in.
7. redid the hub/bearing assembly from scratch, the only thing I didnt do was seperate the bearing assembly from the hub itself (still the same).
To me, I think one of the abs sensors is damaged somehow and its incorrectly reading and thus the tcs is kicking in but I am not 100% sure, any help at this point would be great. feel like a bit of an idiot.......
