| Description of the problem | My 2004 sequoia has a problem with skid control ecu. This computer module controls the abs brakes. Per the dealer, we will lose the power to the abs if it failed. I have the break lights showing up on my dashboard. Per my research online alot of toyota sequoias starting at year 2002 have this problem. This seem to be manufacture problem. Per my dealer, this is not covered under the powertrain warranty. This quote below is from owners manual "the vehicle skid control system helps provide integrated control of the systems such as anti-lock brake system, traction control, engine control, etc. This system automatically controls the brakes and engine to help prevent the vehicle from skidding when cornering on a slippery road or surface or operating steering wheel abruptly." please investigate this matter, as many people driving these vehicles have issues, and is very costly to fix, minimum of $1500. This can cause major accidents, cause of death. |
