Decided to make a new thread, just to spread awareness that once again, another Tacoma owner is getting complete system shutdowns possibly related to the front shutters.
At least, I'm hoping. It seems to be throwing the same things that others have experienced with these shutter connector problems.
I'm going to take a closer look tomorrow and hopefully disconnect a couple connectors to see if there's any water inside myself before I take it off to a dealer partially because they're closed tomorrow, and Monday morning I have my early 30km commute to work.
What scares me is this is only now happening (1700kms), pretty much right after break in, I'm after washing the vehicle multiple times sense then, and almost immediately after I decided to really test the truck out all these messages popped up. I was exiting a roundabout and floored it, knocked her into second and floored it again causing the tires to chirp and traction to stick on, and not even a minute after that it lit up like a Christmas tree. So in a sense, I'm desperately hoping and clinging onto the fact that it's the shutters lol.
On a side note, can anyone tell me what that orange warning light is on the right bottom of the dash? It's completely new to me and I see the same light lit up on the other peoples dash who had the same issue, I can't seem to find it in the owners manual.
I did wash the vehicle thoroughly one day prior to this though, first real thorough power wash, and really gave the grille a major power wash spray down, which maybe it took all that time for water to creep on into the connectors, hopefully.
I've switched between drive modes, switched through 2L, 4H, 4L, took her on the road and floored her, still drives completely normal and fine, no unusual sounds or feels from the drivetrain so I'm not all that nervous.
Can anyone confirm, as I'm unfamiliar with shutters in general. They're currently open, even with shutting the truck off. Are they supposed to open and only close at high speeds or is it vice versa?
