Hello everyone, got this trouble today while I was cruising, suddenly the check engine light was blinking and I had StabiliTrak and Traction light asking to service the vehicle soon, this mad me nuts! couldn't drive the car at low speeds, it was shaking aggressively.



Any suggestions?
P.S: there is some wire near the right ARH headers collecter, and its abit melted. posting pics soon when the car cools off.
I hate so much technology on trucks

 

It's probably that wire that's melted. There has been other people with new trucks that this has happen too also.

 

Blinking check engine light is a misfire, and StabiliTrak and Traction lights probably came one because the check engine light is on (at least that's how Lexus/Toyota works, every time the check engine light comes on the PCM goes into a fail safe mode, and loses communication with the other computers, like the VSC system (Vehicle Stability Control). Get codes out of it, fix the melted wires first, and take it from there...

 

Well, I took some pics already... Is it safe for the engine to drive it to the workshop and get it fixed? Or shall I call a recovery truck? < worried alot

 

if it will drive then drive it... that looks like a simple fix, just reroute that wire.

 

Is that the starter wire? You should fix it, but its probably not causing your problem if thats what it is.

 

Coban, it is misfiring, that wire is getting handled.

dlt76028, Thanks

Nice, glad you found it

 

Thanks again. Gotta be careful next time.
