That’s interesting, I just looked at their website and the power steps they offer say they are not for the hybrid. AMP also doesn’t sell power steps for the hybrid. The only steps available for the hybrid that I found are the ones that use door magnets and not the CAN/OBD.
Did you buy them...
The PIN numbers on the picture you provided don’t seem right. Unless if the hybrid are numbered differently.
Here’s a picture from AMP with the PIN numbers.
AMP taps onto pin #20 (blue) and pin #9 (white)
On your picture Pin #18 is actually the pink wire and pin #7 is right above it on the...
Yeah it’s an extension. No issue with the wires not being twisted, just need to follow the wire/pin # from the factory harness when tapping onto the extension because all the wires will be of the same color.
I have the AMP steps that also tap on the factory harness. If it helps here’s a link to a harness adapter.

I didn’t like the idea of tapping the factory wires. I was able to soldered the wires from the steps to that adapter worry free.
The AMP Steps, aside from tapping on the CAN wires, also uses a device that connects to the OBD Port. Does Wolfbox also connet to the OBD? I ask because I think getting a door trigger from just the CAN wires isnt very reliable.
Ive had the AMP Steps for almost a year and they are not perfect...
Wow, yeah the rear mail seal is probably not it. I wonder if it’s too much crank pressure that’s causing it to blow and leak oil. Bad PCV? Piston rings?
I had this problem when I got my truck.
Try prying away the plastic trim from the metal where it’s marked on the picture below.
I guess that plastic trim is the sensor that detects if the door is closed or if there is obstruction. I had to work mine a couple times, it’s worked fine since.
Here’s some info I found on the YouTubes about all the rims.
If the chrome gets damaged, there is no replacement part available for just the plastic.
I did, it was White wire with blue and Blue wire with White. I also ended up getting a plug connector from AliExpress to avoid poking any factory wires.

I did some Googly searching into this when I got my Amp Steps
The Amp Power Steps come with the Smart Series controller that has Bluetooth. You can control the steps with an app on your phone, so no switch needed.
The RC steps can be wired to the OEM switch for an ON and OFF function. I...
It shouldn't cover the cameras, mine also doesn't. like mentioned, looks like you just need to adjust the tri-fold. Slide it a little back towards the tailgate until it clears the cameras when folded.
I used this hand riveter:
Astro Pneumatic Tool 1423 1/4" Heavy Duty 13" Hand Riveter
Yep, the rivets are tougher than normal and no extra are included but as long as you use the spacer included in the kit, it’s no problem with that type of hand riveter.
Do you remember which wires from the OBD Plug connect to the Tacoma's factory plug?
I got the steps and they are Rev. 2 with the Smart Series Module (Bluetooth connection with APP control) I'm going through the instructions on page 9 and the wording on the steps have me confused.
The OBD Plug...
Decided to now try the Intake side port without the cap. Does anybody's side port not go into the fender? Everything else is installed correctly, just seems like it should be longer.
Its nice to hear they did send them out to those that bought the dry filters. Guess we can use the dry one as back up for when we need to clean and re-oil the new filter.
