I have a 2006 with 20k on it. I had the check engine light VSC and traction control lights come on. The dealership tells me that computer code read when hooked up to the computer it says that the O2 sensor in the catalytic converter is bad. Toyota will not replace just the sensor. So they replaced the catalytic converter. That was a week ago. The lights came back on this week and a new cat was installed today. Hopefully this time it works cause I'm tired of going to the dealership.

Hi, I'm having a problem similar to yours. Did this fix your problem. I don't want to have to get a catalytic converter if i don't have to . sheila

By replacing the converter did it work?? I'm afraid we'll replace it and it won't solve the problem. sheila

Hi everyone. Numerous folks including myself have had the VSC issue, but not all of us had the same fix. It's best to let your dealer diagnose and repair IMO. It could get very expensive swapping parts unnecessarily.

Well, at least I'm not the only one having this issue. Lights disappear when the brake pedal is depressed. By the way mine is an '03 with 80k

#13 of 41 1999 4runner gas gauge stuck by pongo93

Aug 30, 2007 (7:15 am)

I recently had my 1999 4runner serviced (oil change, etc.). Now the gas gauge is all over the place. I get in to go somewhere the gauge indicates down a 1/4 tank, I get to the end of the block -- now its indicates down 1/2 tank, get to my destination -- now its back up to a 1/4 tank. what is causing this and what needs to be done to remedy the situation?
 
All help is greatly appreciated.

#14 of 41 99 4 Runner and 99 Tacoma - both fuel gauges erratic by tmlkcl

Sep 09, 2007 (3:07 pm)

I have the same problem with my 99 4Runner and my son with his 99 Tacoma. We both use odometer miles to indicate fuel level, kind of a pain. I've done quick searches to try to find information on a fix but no luck, may try to dig through Toyota corporate as well??
