My trucks been at Toyota for 10 days! What's wrong!

Well, Claremont Toyota has had my FJ for 10 days now. (By the way, their service has been EXCELLENT so far..)
I was having an issue with the "VSC OFF" light being constantly on and after about 20 minutes of driving, this light would come on, and blink:


The computer didn't throw any codes, but they replaced what I think is my "4WD computer" ?
That got rid of the VSC OFF light, but the other light still persists.

They then replaced a sensor in the rear diff...no luck...

Last I heard, the mechanics were pulling their hair out trying to figure it out.

I miss my FJ...


UPDATE:

Just got off the phone my service guy. He was confused. They fixed the 4wd indicator light by replacing the computer, and the VSC OFF light is the one still on.

Matt, is it possible your new 35s are not all the same diameter?

The problem started before I put the new tires on, so no...

Is it the green light that's blinking?

Just get it back and drive it till it stops - then give it back to them - it might heal itself - not sure if I could go 10 days without mine - hope everything works out -

You mentioned "other lights". What specifically are those other lights?

That light is how I found out my ADD fell off (it happens ). My solution was quite different, but have they mentioned checking that?
