Yeah..this is frustrating. All points that the speed sensor is damaged because the volts are off. Hopefully that will solve the issue. Wish me luck
Are they trying to say it's lift related ? Or covered under warranty ?

So They recalibrated everything and now they're telling me that it's the speed sensor. They're saying that my truck needs a longer one. Has anyone had this issue?
A longer one? Because of the lift? Smells pretty fishy!

I took it to the shop that did the lift but they don't want to cover it because the problem didn't occur till 1 week later. My local Toyota dealer doesn't want to cover it either because they blame everything on the lift.

Never heard of a short speed sensor. Did they mean shorted out or damaged? That would be a problem. Either damaged during install, which would have immediately been a problem, or a freak rock bounced up and caught it?

My course of action is usually to 1. submit poor reviews on Google (whichever businesses you want action from) 2. submit corporate complaint with the car manufacturer 3. submit complaints with BBB (whichever businesses you want action from) 4. submit complaint against manufacturer with state attorney general consumer affairs division for not honoring warranty.
It usually gets taken care of somewhere along the line by someone. I've had a time or two that it hasn't, but often someone will take responsibility.

I have an appointment Monday at a different Toyota Dealer. I am scheduled with an advisor that has a 25 lifted Tacoma as well. Hopefully he helps out.
In my area most service advisors are trained to blame everything on mods.

I had a Eibach lift kit done last month and didnt have any issues not sure if the shop disconnected the battery or not. It's horrible dealing with these dealership at times hope you find someone to fix it.

So finally after 2 weeks my truck is running warning light free. Turns out that my drivers side abs speed sensor was loose and it was rubbing against metal. It made a small cut in the wire. I took it to a local repair shop and they soldered the wire as temporary solution while I get the new one in.
Toyota dealer wanted $1,150 to replace the ABS Speed sensor.

I just ordered the part for $221.from Toyota and local shop will install it for $89.

if you do a lift in your truck make sure that your AbS Wires are secured properly

Thanks for letting us all know. Great things for others to check if they have a similar problem.
