Mine is doing this same thing

I like this response best though. I just paid a s#!tload of $$$ for this thing...which I love BTW....so the warranty should cover this. Should is the key factor here. It seems quite a few people have this problem.

Thanks,

Tom

Warranty covered mine...and thank god. $2100 service.

I have this problem and Ok found the solution after going through an hour of the "seach" function....now if I just get a reply PM from the Mod's after five days of waiting.....

So what is the problem Dave?

[BLUE TONKA]

I found my lights have come on every so often after wheeling after hitting something HARD and screwiing up my alignment... I got an alignment and the lights shut off and haven't come on again. Related? Not sure...

Sometimes mine does this - I stop - turn the truck off - get out - unscrew the gas cap - screw it back on - and that fixes the problem - works every time - so far -

Unfortunately folks these 4 lights will come on for literally 100s of reasons. I had a long chat with the district rep when I took my FJ in with the same problem. In my case it turned out to be a connector that I apparently bumped while installing my Kenwood.

The rep told me these four lights have come on for everything from a lose gas cap, rats chewing wires (in multiple places), any one of the multiple sensors on any of the 4 wheels failing or getting knocked out of alignment, problems with the master cylinder, even a bad reverse switch in one case.

Basically these four dash lights are the "idiot" lights for everything but the engine itself.

Your best course of action is taking it to someone who can plug it into the diagnosing program and get an idea where the problem is. You can waste a lot of time and money chasing this down otherwise.
