Happened to me before cuz my foot was on gas and brake when I started the car to move it forward slightly. I turned it off, waited a bit and started it back up. Seemed to be fine but that scary error was still there. I researched a bit and what cleared it for me was turning the engine off, then start it...I did this 5 times and the error cleared. My 15K service was 2 days later and I told the tech. They found no issues except then I had foot on brake and gas when starting it. Hope it’s the same deal for you.

Unfortunately my deal is a throttle body actuator code. The dealer would not look at my truck until it came back in. So I waited for it to come back and here we are getting towed to the dealership.

Man some of these pages get salty when you post a problem with your truck. I’ve been banned from two Tacoma pages on Facebook and the second was just a few minutes ago for posting this same picture and saying “buy a Toyota they said..” What a shame!

Supposedly OV doesn’t void warranty as most dealerships don’t detect it. Guess we will find out. And OV is a flash so there is nothing permantely plugged in.

That sucks man. Sorry to hear that. Hopefully it gets fixed up and taken care of by the dealer.

I’m sure it’ll get fixed up. Question will be if I’ll keep my warranty or not. I went back to dealership and tried to flash back to stock but it wasn’t working so I left as is ??‍♂️

Yeah, I typically have bad luck when it comes to warranty stuff on my own cars. So I know the feeling.

You may know already but keep the magnuson moss warranty act in mind. I was told about not to long ago and it found it interesting. Felt like I had a leg to stand on with the dealerships if and when a I had an issue.

That came in handy for me a couple years ago. I purchased a new Nissan Titan XD with the 5 liter Cummins. It was lemon lawed and Nissan actually bought it back. That thing was an absolute nightmare.

Wouldn’t start even when plugged in below 10*F. Two head units, injectors, door handle fell off, headliner leaked water. 6 months of ownership, 10 tows, 37 business days in the shop.
