VSC dash lights on after lift on GU8

Hows it going,

Ive recently bought a 2012 GU Patrol as a step up from my D22 Navara.

Its a great truck but i have fitted a lift kit and now the VSC, anti slip, Diff lock and ABS dash lights
are staying on.
The lift Ive fitted are 40mm Raw 4x4 springs with 15mm spacers.
Has any one else had this problem and how do i fix it, help please.

Cheers Dan.

Have you tried the old battery disconnect to reset. Try disconnecting the battery for 30 mins and see if that wipes the error codes and resets itself.
Hopefully someone will be along with more knowledge on the matter.

So the truck is in 2wd with diff lock off and vdc on and the lights are staying on?? Does it drive normally? If so sounds like you might just need to reset the ecu as Mego said.


Edit: i seem to recall someone having similar issues when their vacuum hose was knocked of the diff lock solenoid/actuator. Ill see if i can find the thread when i get on a pc. But I would check anyway


.......on the move

Visually check the ABS sensors, wiring, cable run etc around where you were working when installing the lift

How much angle is the steering wheel on post lift? Could possibly be an error in the yaw sensor wrt the steering angle.

Indeed, could be lots of things so just throwing ideas out there.

I'd be looking at the diff lock for this.
In Oz, the diff lock will only engage in 4WD Low ( I believe ) and when it does it automatically disables the ABS.
It's the ABS that acts as the sensor for the VSC and anti-skid.
So if the diff lock is playing up then it could trigger all the others. An ABS problem would not cause the diff lock light to illuminate.

Spot on,

Turns out I had connected the vacuum lines to the rear diff lock the wrong way around when putting it all back together, DOH,
I had disconnected them to get more clearance for the new springs, i was sure I put them back on the correct way but i thought why not give it a try,

So the diff lock was on with the car in 2WD, so connected the correct way, I back out the drive and clunk, lights go off, diff lock unengaged.

Result

Cheers Dan.
