Thanks for sharing. I haven't tried it yet with my 14 Tundra, but I hear if you turn all your nannies off and place the truck in tow mode its a different beast.
Oh my lord. Dude this was so helpful. Now I understand why when the big snow storm hit Texas last week I could not get up the hill my truck literally could not go no more.. & I got stuck once at the beach & I couldn’t understand why.. dude 10000 points for this vid 👍🏽👍🏽
Great video. As a suggestion, you could have also mentioned 4LO as well as locking the transfer case to get locked 50/50 distribution of power to front and rear differentials. The locked transfer case function does amazing magic on slippery and loose (e.g. sand/gravel) surfaces.
I just found this video. Got a 2020 pro in 2020. I though lsd was automatic. I always put 4hi in snowy/icy midwest roads. This is great info. Can the trac off be used with 4h on? Can the auto lsd be used with 4h on?
Not true, the yaw control will override if it thinks your spinning out, for example on an off camber slide in the mud. Ask for more details but it’s still supervising
Thanks for the video!!!! One thought...you refer to the computer traction aids as nannies. I agree but without the nannies the Tundra is an open diff front and rear. Very limiting off road. Therefore we are reliant on the nannies (electronic limited slip) to make this truck a capable off road vehicle. My question and my understanding is... First mode LSD ON the computer brakes spinning tire to send power to opposite tire with traction and also controls/limits throttle input. The second mode LSD ON TRAC OFF is braking aid for LS but turns off computer throttle control. Which is tricky because you don’t want to over heat the brakes. Third mode all off. Open diff no computer throttle control. Is this your understanding/experience????
Yes good instructional and decent video.... But why don't you explain that people what LSD stands for.. and you keep using the word nannies what do you mean by that? Explain!!.. this should be an instructional video therefore you should explain all the terminology that you were using
This was your last posted video .. what happened? Hope all is well with you and family looking for some wheeling videos of tundras brought me here thanks for taking the time to post all this stuff up for everyone to see.
Thank you soo much for explaining this to a man who was stuck back in the 70's chevy new process 205 transfer case days. I am nkw up to speed with my modern 2021 Tacoma! You did an excellent job of explaining.
How can I add the traction control off button on my sequoia? It's a platinum 2011 but this button is not added and I'm not sure if I can make it with the three options you talked about
Thanks for this video, I think this is very helpful for as you mentioned, going up hills. Do you have a video on going down hills without hill descent? Something that speaks about engine braking?
Would the traction control have anything to do with my 2020 limited not going into 4 lo on an incline? Even when I roll backwards to make sure the truck is in neutral, the light flashes and it beeps and will not go into 4lo, seems like I have to be on flat ground and then it works fine...
When I have the traction control completely off and hit some soft sand another little yellow light starts flashing, it’s like another traction control symbol. Is that normal?
@@adurosola I’m still a bit confused about all this. It’s doesn’t seem there’s a single perfect mode for off roading. Not sure what mode to always be in.
Would you agree with this vid? ruclips.net/video/ZJISoBYflzU/видео.html It seems like traction control works good off road when you need "traction" certain off road terrain type.. You want "traction off" when you need continuous momentum.
Thanks this is going to help alot with my supercharger. Frustrating going through a corner or accelerating onto the freeway when its rainy and it cuts power.
@@tundrawhisperer4821 yes it helps with spirited driving. VSC will cut power when you need it most. I drove alot with it off until recently. I was making a left turn and both my driverside tires hit oil/coolant on the road. As I accelerated into the turn it fish tailed violently several times. Feathering the throttle I was able to recover and didnt hit anything.
Great video. I am here because texas had some snows this week and my 2WD tundra was so useless in the snow condition and I felt disappointed. Do I have to repeat this process anytime I start my vehicle or I only have to do it once until I decide to turn it back on? Thanks.
I found out about this when I would go to make a right hand turn into traffic and my truck fall on its face then after about 2 secs of “wtf” it would come back to life. I realized the power was being retarded and wasn’t the traction control just kicking on and killing power. The Vehicle Stabilty Control VSC was being activated. I learned how this feature and now it’s common practice to turn this off when I plan to drive in places it’s needed. Plus it’s way more fun off-road and I can go full send Baja style!
Touching base on this video hopped in my 2014 tundra and out of the blue i got it detailed and now it says only on the display no the "illumination light" it says on the display "traction control is off" i have no CEL or dtcs never encountered just the display being on saying that with no other "illumination lights" followed is there anyone else who encountered this and if so any recommendations???? Thanks
Thanks alot. This short video help alot to where I need to know about the traction control button. You are a great teacher as well. Such a big difference
Woow! Thanks for the video. It was digging a whole in my head for months. When my toyota prado was stuck, I put it on 4Lo and traction control was automatically off, but then when I kicked the throttle pedal to the bottom, rpm didn't go over 2,000 rpm and car was still stuck. It was really strange. It happened twice. No idea what was happening. I was thinking it was most likely due to an underpowered/small engine problem and was thinking about changing my vehicle, for months. Now I have to go out and check it, but I am in a Covid lock-down, haha. I have to wait for 2 weeks. Thanks for this!!! really don't understand why Toyota doesn't produce this kind of videos.
It's the trucks governor basically..it keeps things under the computers control..which sometimes isn't wanted or needed. You want the ability to override those controls..
Hey there. Thanks for the comment. It’s always good to hear that kinda feedback. I still have the truck and I will be working on some videos by the end of the year. Covid has shut down a lot and has affected production. I hope to be back soon.
Mine does too as I have a 21 crewmax sr5.. feels like the cv shafts are gonna break as there’s no power going to the front wheels in 4x4 mode… I hope the traction control turn off works and corrects this problem….
@@juanarevalo8791 yes, always good info. Still a bit confused on when to make these adjustments when off reading though. Manual doesn’t explain when to use these though, they just say what it controls. An example situation explained in the manual would be a huge help. Thx
Pretty sure AUTO LSD is the old “ATRAC”. My old FJ had an ATRAC switch to activate this control. On the Tundra i think its the AUTO LSD. I got my tundra off camber with one wheel from each axle suspended. It wouldn’t move in 4H. I activated AUTOLSD and it worked through like old ATRAC. See my post above. It explains my thoughts on both AUTOLSD functions. By the way after reading the manual for the 10th time I think I am mis-remembering this event. I need to test again to confirn. Ugh
@@AngerManagementOverland Interesting, i thought ATRAC was on with all nannies on, without activating auto-lsd. Here in MN when the ground freezes, my sloped incline driveway gets patches of ice. In 2wd, i tried testing the system going over the ice under one wheel slowly. I can feel ATRAC working applying brake to the spinning wheel, i dint make it but almost did if kept at it. I should try same senario again with auto-lsd.
For safety, the only time I mess with the traction control and nannies is when I’m off road. Other than that, I keep all settings in default. That’s just me though. Thanks for watching.
Thanks you so much,I would like to eliminate that issue of traction control forever in my Jeep jk and use the 4x4 when I need it couse is less complicated
It's the trucks governor basically..it keeps things under the on board computers control. So sometimes you don't want or need that. You want the ability to override those controls.
with auto LSD or whatever traction control feature you have, it is safe to use it on pavement. Just not 4WD. with 4WD system that is safe to operate on dry pavements are full time 4wd with open center diff and AWD All Wheel Drive vehicles.

Switching to 4hi is a center diff lock. Which he covered

Even in the owners manual it recommends disengaging the traction control when off road because it can get you stuck.
"Manual ?"
"Manual ? !"
"Vee don't need no stinkin' manual ! !" ☆
Thank you for the advice! I've been trying to get my Nanny to shut up!!!! God bless her soul😃. Great video!!!
I live in Gilbert, where exactly in the Superstitions is this? TIA
I'm confused...when diving on sand do I want traction control off?
my toyota tendra traction control off by self how to back on please tall me
Great job you’re the only one that knows how to explain this right
Great explanation on the system. I find it very confusing lol. What mode do you stay in everyday driving?
Everyday driving should just be as is... start up your truck and drive!
How can I turn on traction control when on 4 hi does the traction automatically turn off
THANKS JUST PICKED UP THE TRD Pro 2020 . GOOD IMFO.
This was your last posted video .. what happened? Hope all is well with you and family looking for some wheeling videos of tundras brought me here thanks for taking the time to post all this stuff up for everyone to see.
What is the top speed you can go, on the last set, with everything turned off?
Fast as you want but be careful as your safety controls are off so the truck will handle differently
Dude Thank You! I have been looking for this info and learned from your video even though I have a Tacoma!
I’m glad this helped you out. Thanks for watching. 🤘🏻

Thanks so much , I’ll try #3 tomorrow on the way to work , really appreciate!
Why?
Good info
Are you going to T2S again this year?
That’s the plan as of now. It might interfere with a Moab trip, but I won’t know for sure until February. I hope to make it.
what about VSC? Its so hard to get clear info on this.
Thanks alot. This short video help alot to where I need to know about the traction control button. You are a great teacher as well. Such a big difference
Thank you
How you liking the fox 2.5 compared to the 6112s? I feel like the bilstiens I got now are super stiff off road. Is it worth the 4k upgrade?
Was the sway bar disconnect worth it? I'm thinking about taking mine off of my ram 1500 with the carli leveling kit with king shocks
Thanks for the explanation! Very helpful!!
can i do traction control off then 4wheel and atrac to avoid the clicking noise on my 4runner when slipping?
Had no idea. First I’ve heard of the different modes with the TC button. Have to check and see if this is in the manual!
Had another light pop up say Trac off cool!
Woow! Thanks for the video. It was digging a whole in my head for months.

Great video. Less nanny Bobby Susie comments
Traction control can help a lot with bumpy hills when off roading
Thanks dude you really helped me 👍👍👍
More content coming? Sure have enjoyed the channel.
Sorry for the silly question, but what is a nanny?
It's the trucks governor basically..it keeps things under the computers control..which sometimes isn't wanted or needed. You want the ability to override those controls..
Have you ever ran into any articulation issues running that lift and tire setup? Btw love the channel man! 🤘
Thanks for the comment. I’ve not run into any issues with this current setup. I absolutely love it.
Thank you this did helped me
Does this exist on a 2008?
Doughnut mode
Thanks! I had no idea!
What are your high and low speed compression settings off road
I change them constantly. Unless I’m in the desert. Out there I crank down the high speed and put low speed at 50%
Miss the videos dude! Still have the truck??
Hey there. Thanks for the comment. It’s always good to hear that kinda feedback. I still have the truck and I will be working on some videos by the end of the year. Covid has shut down a lot and has affected production. I hope to be back soon.
Why is it when im on 4H my steering wont full turn? It locks up
Mine does too as I have a 21 crewmax sr5.. feels like the cv shafts are gonna break as there’s no power going to the front wheels in 4x4 mode… I hope the traction control turn off works and corrects this problem….
Are you on paved roads
Is this also the same set up configuration on a 2018 Tundra? Thx

Why are you calling them "Nannies"?
Cause nannies try to protect you from having fun and full control
